It was a sad day when we heard Millie died two weeks ago.
She taught me how to figure out whether atoms are intercalating between layers as happens in graphite - her specialty, or one of her specilaties anyway. It led to one of the main themes of my research.
My close colleague had been her friend for 60 years, since she was Millie Spiewak. He took it pretty hard.
She died just two weeks after GE had released a commercial promoting women in science and promoting her as a rock star.
