   Let's not forget another amazing person born #OTD - Hedy Lamarr. The brilliant actress co-invented Spread Spectrum Technology, which would one day form the basis for today's #WiFi and #Bluetooth communication systems: http://www.women-inventors.com/Hedy-Lammar.asp

   You may recognize her from SETI Live co-host Beth Johnson's background, which is actually a wall in one of our conference rooms!
