Professor and physicist. Black holes, quantum gravity, cosmology. Rocky Top. Tar Heel. Reposts are spooky action at a distance. These are my views, not my employer's. Just terrible at this.

The American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge has a small display about Liane Russell and her work at ORNL. She posed next to it for a photo in December of 2018. That photo and a note of appreciation she sent to the museum are now part of the display.

A photo of Liane Russell, age 95, sitting next to an AMSE display about her work. She has white hair, thick-rimmed glasses, and is sitting in a wheelchair. Russell is looking at something to the right of the photographer.
A photo of Liane Russell's note to the museum. It reads:
"To AMSE
a wonderful museum
from
Liane B. Russell
Dec. 20, 2018"

I encourage you to take just a minute to read this extraordinary obituary written by her family. They explain how Lee Russell's experience fleeing her home to escape Nazis, then witnessing the rise of fascism across Europe, inspired her commitment civic engagement.
