I hope I get assigned to Hopper field. I might have to cut out some moths and hide them about the area...

Re: FRC Blog - New Subdivision Names

I like the selections but it would have been really nice if Lise Meitner had been honored. She should have won the Nobel prize for a variety of reasons not the least of which was that she was a Jewish female scientist doing work in Germany in the 1930's... didn't get the recognition she deserved.

I am happy that these four were honored as our field choices though.

Re: FRC Blog - New Subdivision Names

First of all, a disclaimer: I'm an English major. Whether that excuses what follows, you be the judge.

FRC Championship Field Names
to the tune of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”

You know Carson and Tesla and Newton and Carver
Archimedes and Curie and Galileo and Hopper
But do you recall
The most famous scientist of all?

Einstein, the white-haired thinker
Had some very snowy hair
And if you ever saw it,
You’d be put off by its glare.
All of the other students
used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Einstein
Join in any spelling games.

Then one foggy darksome night,
Thoughts just came his way
Einstein with his hair so white
Did some physics, saw the light.

Then how the people loved him,
Shouted out “E and MC!
Einstein, the white-haired thinker,
You’ll go down in history!”

Re: FRC Blog - New Subdivision Names

I kind of want von Braun to be a field name, but you know, people get butthurt over things that were done by the individual that were unrelated to his/her brilliance.

I agree. But I'm not up in arms about who they did choose, all are respectable people

... quite a mature way of characterizing the thoughts of those that might disagree with you.

Hey cool, I proposed Rachel Carson in the last division naming thread (not claiming credit, but still proud to call it)

Re: FRC Blog - New Subdivision Names

Here's an amazing video on Grace Hopper from Nate Silver's fivethirtyeight.com. (The best data journalism site on the internet). So freaking cool.
