Tiny Perfusion Letter #804

Tiny Perfusion Letter

We here at TPL HQ are a big fan rabbit holes…

The figurative ones, were you learn something about someone or something, and you read and read and read, and get a link and learn something entirely different, and in the end, you’re filled with “useless information” ☺️

A few days ago, we learned about Grace Brewster Hopper (née Murray)

There is so much to discover, I’ll leave it for your pleasure to tumble down, but she is generally attributed the following phrase, on explaining why she made a clock that runs backwards: ““Humans are allergic to change. They love to say, ‘We’ve always done it this way.’ I try to fight that. That’s why I have a clock on my wall that runs counterclockwise.” #b@d@ss
