Happy birthday to the inimitable
@RonCarterBass--there's only one of those--who turns 87 today & continues to play at an insanely high level. I love his bass-piano-guitar trio he introduced on record in 1994 w/Kenny Barron & Herb Ellis. youtube.com/watch?v=Eg0z2HRW… #JazzFromDetroit

TIL about Alenoush Terian(1920-2011).
She returned to Iran after her PhD in France, much to the surprise of many, and became the first woman professor of physics in Iran.
She helped found and run the first solar observatory in Iran, earning the moniker of Iranian Solar Mother
