Get ready for an inspiring journey through untold stories of brilliance and creativity! In this episode, we dive deep into two incredible narratives that shine a light on overlooked pioneers who have transformed our understanding of science and music. First up, we meet Katie Hafner, the powerhouse behind the Lost Women of Science podcast and Middle Grade Novel. She's on a mission to uncover the remarkable stories of women scientists who have been systematically erased from history. Imagine brilliant minds whose groundbreaking work was stolen, ignored, or simply forgotten. From Dora Richardson, who synthesized the life-saving breast cancer drug tamoxifen, to Katie's own grandmother who researched premature infant blindness, these women are finally getting the recognition they deserve. Then, we switch gears to D A Royster's heartwarming tale of "Happy Music," a vibrant celebration of New Orleans jazz history. Through the eyes of a young girl, we explore the legendary Club Desire - a groundbreaking venue started by Dana's grandfather in the 1940s. This was no ordinary music club - it was a cultural landmark where legends like Fats Domino and Ella Fitzgerald got their start, breaking racial barriers one musical note at a time. Both stories share a powerful message: creativity, innovation, and passion know no boundaries. Whether you're a science enthusiast, music lover, or just someone who appreciates incredible human stories, this episode will inspire you to look beyond the surface and celebrate the unsung heroes who have shaped our world. Want to learn more? Check out "Lost Women of Science" and "Happy Music" - two books that prove extraordinary stories are waiting to be discovered.
