Submit ReviewBeatrice Shilling was all about speed and efficiency. She modified her Norton M30 (a schmancy motorbike) so she could rip up the Brooklands motor circuit at speeds of 100+ miles per hour, and she fixed a sort of serious little problem the British air force was facing in WWII - a problem which was causing their fighter planes to literally stop working while in mid-air, surrounded by Nazis! I mean, c'mon.
Joining us to talk about Ms Shilling is aerospace engineer Stephanie Evans. Steph is originally from Mascoutah, Illinois and she graduated from Missouri ST in 2012. Currently, she works as a systems test engineer for SSL MDA in Silicon Valley, and when she’s not doing that, she runs the STEMulus sci comm youtube channel!
