Navigators
There are many ways to be a human, and some ways to do so exceptionally.
We are all Navigators, but some have stronger compasses. Some keep finer maps. Some have done the wandering.
On this page, please find some of our favorite examples of human spirit. Compassion, leadership, ingenuity.
We salute you, Navigators. And we hope to live up to the example.
Rosalind Franklin
Due to her exemplary efforts as an X-ray crystallographer and scientist, two male collueges were able to steal her work and claim that they'd successfully identified the double-helix structure of DNA. I discovered this fact after reading an old discount bookstore paperback of 'The Double Helix,' published by one of those men. She is not an afterthought and in future edits a better effort will be made to document her contributions to the world.

Michael Faraday
Aldous Huxley wrote about Faraday in an essay entitled, A Night in Pietramala: “He is always the natural philosopher. To discover truth is his sole aim and interest…even if I could be Shakespeare, I think I should still choose to be Faraday.”[93]
