Women From The United States

"I was very fortunate to have been able to study engineering and to find my way to NASA, to join the NASA astronaut class of 1996."

"It’s about everybody having an opportunity, everybody having the access and ability to follow their dreams."

"I am of course excited to be included among the group and look forward to whoever the first woman is and the women who follow as part of the Artemis program to continue our studies of the moon, continue to descend down to the surface in a lander and hopefully to build a lunar base there on the moon and continue our journey from the Gateway orbiting laboratory."

"“I always say that if you’re in a boardroom or a meeting and you’re the only girl at the table, celebrate that moment; but then realize that you have a responsibility to make sure that never happens again,"

"All the dollars that are flowing into the business aren’t flowing into the players That’s what we’re talking about when we say a new economic model. We need to see the dollars flowing into the players."

"“No matter our jobs, we are more than just that and have the opportunity to use our voices for positive change"

"Our players understand now that they are more than basketball and I am so proud of them and that they recognize that they have the opportunity to use this time to speak about issues that matter to them"

"I have bleached the lace and it came out. I hope I understood you to say it would be alright to take it apart in motifs for that is the only way it would look alright with the other lace. I have trimmed the other lace and it has been beaded. Will be calling your daughter shortly of a fitting."

"Sometimes I surprise myself. I may not know exactly what I’m going to do when I start out, but ideas come as I go along.”"

"“I enjoy it. You have to like what you do, no matter what it is, to make a success of it.”"

"It would take you forever to bead the laces to go on it.”."

"I begged and pleaded for the league not to fine them. It was a pretty intense conversation. And they still fined the players anyway"

"everything is on the table for that conversation"

"Working with Ye and Mr. Kelly truly made me understand the amount of false accusations that can be given to strong people such as Trump. I am no politician and have no interest in being one. I would like to quote Ye, one of my favorite people I have worked with: ‘The media is trying to crucify me like I’m Christ.’”"

"loose end for a party that needs to tidy up."

"I completely stand by what I said to the election worker that I was simply a crisis manager."

"I believe that the charges that were filed on me are for a lack of better words baloney."

"I started my career in design and found hardware and materials engineering by digging deep into design problems. I just kept digging and digging, and this led me to eventually have ideas for developing my own materials. However, a material that can only be made in a small swatch isn't very useful, so the need to scale led me to advanced manufacturing. I see myself very much as a physical product person. If someone wants to make innovative things in the real world, they will eventually need to touch advanced manufacturing in some way!"

"Getting a new process into production is an exercise in resilience. We are constantly trying to troubleshoot unexpected issues, and the unknown can be difficult. However, this is also what makes the work mentally stimulating and fun!"

"The invention for sure! I work more on the business and strategy side these days, but I love it when I get the chance to see parts from the factory, or see prototypes. It's really satisfying to see ideas become real through engineering, design, prototyping, and production."

"I think that’s one of the ways in which this is quite different. It’s not a one-and-done, and it’s also not, get the technology up to a certain point and now we’re ready to deploy it everywhere. Geographically, street lights are different, weather is different, there’s a lot about each domain that’s quite different. What you’ll see us do, and what you’ve seen us do now that we’re operating in two fairly different environments, that gives our tech stack the opportunity to learn. We’ve driven over 20 million miles on public roads, autonomously, across 25 cities. Over 20 billion miles in simulation, which is quite important. And so this is the way the Waymo Driver learns and all of that learning is shared across the fleet."

"In a 50-square-mile territory, which is also the size of San Francisco, so I’m not going to concede that it’s tiny. Yes, it is a specific jurisdiction that we’re working in, but that’s the way to do it safely. Also, we have launched a trusted tester program in San Francisco. So now residents of San Francisco are having the chance to try out our service too."

"We’ve been at it for a while. I would say it’s the engineering challenge of our generation. That is what’s taking it so long. To do it, and do it well, I think means two things. One, that safety is at the core of everything we do. And safety takes time. And secondly, we actually have to learn along the way. It’s like a process of discovery."

"To be honest, the work we do has a very small impact on the world right now. We make components, so we help products be a little easier to make or work a little better. It's a small impact, but it's exciting for us and for our customers."

"I used to spend a lot of time making things when I was younger, and I think this has helped. From 3D printing to sewing, the hands-on work helps me imagine how physical items come together."

"What’s funny to me is when I think back to when I joined Waymo almost five years ago. And I remember thinking, “Oh, product market fit’s probably done. It’s ready to commercialize.” And I realize, no, you actually have to put the technology into the real world and that’s how you get it ready. That’s what we’ve been focused on doing, and learning, and receiving feedback from, now, riders in Phoenix."

"We do work for engineers and designers making next-generation products. I'm super motivated by how we can help them do their work with our materials. I also love research, so I'm always excited to hear what the team has been up to and what breakthroughs we've made on a Monday morning."

"Graphic with a photo of Madison Maxey leaning over a work table with a quote superimposed of what she would tell her 14 year old self about manufacturing: "Pair engineering with design from the start. With these two skills, you can make just about anything you want."

"I think I would spend one hour walking around somewhere nice, one hour at a nice symphony or jazz show, one hour cooking and eating something nice, and the rest of the day I would spend in a lab with exciting tools and materials to use for developing new things."

"More than anything, I think it's important to be a critical problem solver when working with new technologies. If something you're doing isn't working, don't worry, wine, or wander around. Just change one variable, try again, and measure the result. Eventually, you'll get there!"

"It’s something that I’ve had to relearn in my time at Waymo. I like using data to make decisions. And I think when you’re introducing a new technology, introducing a new business model, introducing consumers to an experience that’s never existed before, it’s really about getting comfortable knowing when you have enough data and also getting comfortable with your own gut. And so I say one of the things at Waymo that people get out of it is this reinforced sense of your own internal guide. That’s what I use a lot now because it’s pioneering. There isn’t a playbook. No one’s done it before. We’re figuring it out as we go along. It requires a lot of humility and a lot of openness around learning. And so I learn, I listen, I make a decision. If it’s not the right decision we pivot, and we keep going. And so really having the mindset that this is a learning journey."

"We make electronic textiles, and the word "textile" always makes people think of shirts and socks. In reality, we manufacture electronic components for cars, robots, and more. They would be surprised to know that we don't spend much time weaving and sewing and spend most of our time testing the electrical performance of components and laminating things."

"“Recognize and embrace your uniqueness. I don’t think the ratios are going to change anytime soon. But I don’t think it has to be a disadvantage. Being a Black woman, being a woman in general, on a team of all men, means that you are going to have a unique voice. It’s important to embrace that."

"Most companies are now required to have at least one diverse member on their board or they won’t get underwritten"

"The Smithsonian, for all of us who live in Washington, is a very important part of our total experience. I can remember coming to the Smithsonian as a child with my parents, coming with my two sons after church and much later with my two little granddaughters. I feel very warmly about the Smithsonian"

"I love this opportunity every day I have to come to work to provide amazing public service to all the taxpayers of this almost one-million-person county"

"Keep busy. Put family first, but treat everybody like family. Save your money, but give the credit to a higher power."

"A little of this and a little of that and you mix it all together. But a whole lotta love has to go in it. If you don't have that, you have nothing at all."

"I have gloried in my rebel countrymen! Would to God I, too, had been a patriot."

"The Constitution created a system of checks and balances designed to prevent the president from becoming a king or a dictator. Our founders had just fought the Revolutionary War to create a democracy – not to simply replace a British king with an American monarch."

"It’s hard to tell people things they don’t want to hear. It is my job and figuring out a way to do it that will be listened to, palatable and maybe even persuasive."

"I can't stand Jessica Tarlov of THE FIVE. A real loser!!! DJT"

"It has always been a central plank of Donald Trump’s approach to politics to make us doubt what the media tell us and, more often than not, what we hear and see ourselves. The president’s path to success runs straight through widespread disinformation about everything from election security to health care to immigration."

"I’m an admitted Hillary fan-girl, but even the coldest hearted Republicans will have to admit that she has always wanted every American to have health care, a chance at a quality education and opportunity for a bright future."

"President Trump has abused the power of his office to benefit himself to the detriment of the public good, which is an impeachable offense. If mental gymnastics were an Olympic sport, Republicans desperate to defend Trump would all be gold medal contenders."

"The framers of the Constitution created impeachment so that the president of the United States could be held accountable for misconduct. Sure, Trump doesn’t like it. But he doesn’t have the power to ignore the Constitution and follow only the parts of it that he likes."

"Why does Fox News allow failed TV personality Jessica Tarlov to 'soil' The Five? Her voice, her manner, and above all else, what she says, are a disgrace to television broadcasting."

"It is safer to write as a moralist, as an observer and evaluator outside personal involvement who may not know the precise nature of the subject matter, but who can indicate clearly what others ought and ought not do. Much of the writing in the literature of love was written by persons, who, perhaps never having suffered the insanity themselves but having observed its outward manifestations, are adamantly opposed to it. Limerent persons, sufferers of an unallowable condition, find themselves speechless save for ambiguity of "poetic" expression."

"I rejected "infatuation" because although the meanings of the terms overlap in some respect, they differ in meaning, and evoke different connotations."

"Writers have been philosophizing, moralizing, and eulogizing on the subject of "erotic," "passionate," "romantic" love (i.e., limerence) since Plato (and surely long before that). And more often than not, what is said is enough to make a limerent dissolve into the walls in embarrassment. It can be dangerous to stick your neck out on the subject of love—dangerous to your self-esteem and to your reputation."
