I love this story. RIP, Stephanie Kwolek.

“I love learning and I’m love learning new things, making discoveries…
while her mother encourage creativity and even a future in fashion design,  her father was a naturalist and inspired stephanie’s curiosity about the outdoors.

I had a father who was very much interested and plants and trees. I spent a lot of time

just roaming through the woods looking [and putting plants and leaves in a scrapbook].
She goes on to talk about creativity and the process of innovation.
