MIT150 Inventional Wisdom

"My next important mentor was Enrico Fermi. I had the privilege of walking to school with him everyday, 
because we lived pretty close to each other, and when he saw me he would always walk across the street 
to walk with me. I was too shy to go over to him.  He liked women in science, but at that time, 
not all of the men liked women (being) in science…there was a certain amount of prejudice about that.  
But Enrico Fermi was really a straight shooter; he liked people that did the work."
-Mildred Dresselhaus
