Maria Ressa and her journalist colleague, Dmitry Muratov, are the first journalists since 1935 to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

Our first hero on our website is Melba Roy Mouton (1929-1990), an American mathematician who served as Assistant Chief of Research Programs at NASA's Trajectory and Geodynamics Division in the 1960s. She was an incredible lady and an unsung pioneer of advanced mathematics and early computing.

She headed a team of NASA mathematicians called "computers". She also served as Head Mathematician for Echo Satellites 1 and 2 before becoming Head Computer Programmer and then Program Production Section Chief at Goddard Space Flight Center.
