I really appreciated her speaking to young people, even riding the NYC subway for the first time to record "Subway Takes" last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAkwo6JPV00

She also was speaking on a panel just a week ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df0GWlZm3gk

She was also on Spanish TV just five months ago, I was a bit surprised when she appeared there. Seems most of it is on YouTube as well (hoping it's not geo-restricted): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE7lnl4ah9s

I will add it is one of the most watched shows on prime time.

Highly rate her episode of the BBC’s The Life Scientific https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000jmsd

The Life Scientific is a wonderful and engaging podcast. The episodes delve into a scientist's field of study, but really bring out their human side. Hobbies, interests; scientists are people too :)

crazy how you can just be this alive one year and then dead the next. I get 91 is old, but still

People don't think it's like that but it is, for all of us, eventually.

By "this alive" I think they meant physically active and wits about her despite her age. For many of us, unfortunately, it's not like that eventually: a slow and complete deterioration even before death.

That is truly a gift, to be able to be that active until almost the end of your life.

Life well earned!

My friend had tickets to see her in LA this Friday.

i can still recall when she came to visit my high school to address its students many moons ago. it was quite an experience that still left a mark till this day.

she was quite an example of how anyone can impact the world while just doing what they love.

What the hell is that stuff after 17m? https://youtu.be/CAkwo6JPV00?t=1022
