When I post about & , I tend to highlight the trailblazers we don’t usually read or hear about in .

But tonight I want to share this beautifully composed piece about Nikola Tesla.

While his inventions are legendary, you may not know how Tesla’s OCD shaped his approach to science & ultimately led to his world-changing ideas. It also left him isolated & alone. But he still experienced deep connection by caring for birds. https://nautil.us/teslas-pigeon-460446/

A few years ago at local coffee shop I bumped into one of the key people working to create Tesla Science Center on Long Island. As a museum guy, I wished him well. I’m very sad to read about the recent fire.

@JohnMashey I hadn’t heard. That is sad.

Fascinating man and a great story… I stayed at the New Yorker Hotel in 2018, atmospheric place…

@Sheril which kind of put him at odds with his support of eugenics and eliminating the “undesirables”
