I had to watch it twice, she's talking quite fast ;) but it was worth 
it, cool projects and a great attitude :D
It's true that humor can be a great defense against harassment, still it 
doesn't leave you unharmed. I love to see how Jenn Schiffer deals with 
this and I wish that strength for every person that's being bullied or 
hassled otherwise.

Another woman full of energy and with an important line. Many 
discoveries and inventions that are crucial today have been explored 
without any thought of use, just for personal interest. I found this 
interesting article [1] talking about a paper [2] that was published in 
1939(!), that deals with this very same issue.
