Absolutely stellar list from Leah Schnelbach up on Tor.com. If I really truly had to pick a fave, I would have to go with Dr. Sarah Harding. Weird choice, I know, but Moore just nails what would be, for any other actress, an impossible follow-up to Dern’s performance
When I learned that Laura Dern was returning to the Jurassic-verse as Ellie Sattler in the upcoming Jurassic World: Dominion, it sent me on a spate of glorious reminiscence of how much a small group of fictional scientists meant to me.
There was a brief time, a time that shines in my memory, when weird women scientists were heroes. And I’m going to talk about them, possibly at uncomfortable length.

I’ve organized these women by decidedly unscientific categories; I am sure I’ve missed some of your favorites, so please sing their praises in the comments! And before we go a step further I want to shout out my beloved colleague Emmet Asher-Perrin’s essay on Real Genius, specifically for their encomium to Jordan Cochran, who is basically the baby version of the women I’m about to talk about.
If you’ve got a yearning to add a few more monsters, space explorers, magically gifted teens, supernatural detectives, alien translators, superheroes, cosplayers, and mages on missions to your summer reading list, look no further: io9 has got you covered with a giant avalanche of shiny new books for June!
This week, President Biden hit back at warnings the country is barreling toward a recession, claiming it’s “not inevitable.” However, a new poll revealed a majority of Americans already believe the country is in an economic recession.

NTAG203 (13.56MHz RFID/NFC) Clear Keychain Fob: This is a clear 13.56MHz RFID/NFC Keychain Fob with an NTAG203 chip – often used for train/bus passes, information sharing, and contactless payment, but also found in other systems where a proximity card is desired. The tag contains a small RFID chip and an antenna and is passively powered by the reader/writer when placed a couple inches away.
USB A Plug to USB C Jack Microadapter: As technology changes and adapts, so does Adafruit, and speaking of adapting, this wee microadapter has a USB A jack (e.g. it will plug into a computer with an A port) and a USB C socket so your older computer or laptop can catch up to the latest USB Type C.
ESP32-S3 Box Lite – Dock Not Included: The ESP-BOX is a new generation AIoT development platform released by Espressif Systems. The ESP32-S3-BOX is an AIoT development board that is based on Espressif’s ESP32-S3 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 5 (LE) SoC. The ESP32-S3-BOX provides a platform for developing the control of home appliances using Voice Assistance + touch screen controller, sensor, infrared controller, and intelligent Wi-Fi gateway.
The Lite version excludes the dock that serves as a stand for your device. If you want the full kit and kaboodle, check out this version.
Small Black T-Bar Hall Effect Fader – 5V: You might recognize this interesting new component from behind-the-scenes studio clips of audio recording equipment or even music videos. A fader is a control device for fading or changing the sound volume, light intensity, or simply the gain on an audio or video signal.
Here is a small, black handheld-size DIY version for your next audio or music (maybe even with a NeoTrellis?) project.
