Raise your hand if you have already watch Hidden Figures? An amazing movie that shows African-American women who fight for their rights on a job which is dominated by men. The movie not just shown about race and segregation that happening on that time but let’s highlight that it’s also show “How Women could contribute on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Katherine Johnson was an American mathematician whose calculations of orbital mechanics as a NASA employee were critical to the success of the first and subsequent U.S. crewed spaceflights. On the movie “Hidden Figures”, her character played by Taraji P. Henson. On this scene (see picture above) Katherine is expected to make the computations for the NASA team, and yet she isn't allowed into the conference room when they are discussing the very information that is integral to her job. Her superior, Jim Parsons' Paul Stafford, uses the cop-out excuse that the system is merely not set up for women to attend, and Katherine curtly points out how ridiculous a statement this is when considering the values behind their work. At the end she did attend the meeting, and surprisingly she even calculates the landing for the Friendship 7 in front of the attendee.

YouTube is working with top health organizations to create authoritative medical videos for the platform in an effort to crackdown on Covid-19 misinformation. The new health partnership team will be headed by Dr. Garth Graham, YouTube’s new director and global head of healthcare and public health partnerships. Graham was most recently the chief community health officer at CVS Health. YouTube will work with organizations including the American Public Health Association, Cleveland Clinic and the Forum at the Harvard School of Public Health to make “high-quality health content” for its users, according to a blog post. Like other tech platforms, YouTube has had to tackle the spread of misinformation about Covid-19. In October, the Google-owned platform said it would take down videos that include misinformation about Covid-19 vaccines. It previously took action on other content containing falsehoods about the virus, such as videos disputing Covid-19 exists. At the time, the company said it had removed more than 200,000 videos containing dangerous or misleading information about Covid-19 since February 2020.
