Happy International Women's
Day 2021! At first I thought this was to celebrate international women like
Gal Gadot and Sofia Vergara. It turns out to be an international celebration of
all women with a focus on fighting gender bias. With all due respect to Gal and
Sofia, that's probably for the best. They get enough attention every day as it
is.

As a model for first contact, I really liked the movie Arrival. I enjoy it more and more each time I watch it. It really gets across how difficult it would be to establish communication with a completely alien species that we have no common linguistic framework with.
