Elijah McCoy was born in 1844 in Ontario to formerly-enslaved parents from Kentucky. They saved enough to send him to Scotland to study mechanical #engineering. When he returned and couldn't get work in his field, he took a job as a train oilman and invented a method of automatic lubrication that eliminated the frequent stops trains had to make to oil up axles & bearings. Railroad companies asking for his product rather than copycat devices spawned the phrase "the real McCoy." #BlackHistoryMonth

Hi all, I've been here about 24 hours, so I thought it was time for an #introduction post!

I'm Max--recently diagnosed with #ADHD, currently finishing up two MS degrees (#AppliedMath and #Engineering Mechanics), and trying to figure out what to do with myself!

I've spent most of my career in #teaching and #research so leaving academia for a new career is an exciting (and #scary) prospect!

Outside of my work, I love #swimming, abstract #painting, #cooking, and building #mechanicalkeyboards!
