3 years ago MIT grad student Katie Bouman led the creation of a new algorithm to produce the first-ever image of a black hole. Today, that image was released. More info: bit.ly/BHoleGuardian 2016 story: bit.ly/BlackHoleCSAIL #EHTblackhole #EventHorizonTelescope

Don’t wait for your district to offer a training. Don’t wait for your school to “develop” you. You’re a talented professional and can take ownership of your learning. Take full advantage of what your school offers, but be a continuous learner. Own your learning. #FutureDriven
