I like it when researchers keep to the facts and keep the whole thing professional. That’s Dava the inventer with the new space suit she’s designed.

Jacques Derrida spoke of death and writing: “I leave a piece of paper behind, I go away, I die: It is impossible to escape this structure, it is the unchanging form of my life.” He worried that everything he wrote would simply disappear after he was gone.

Derrida means a lot to me for what he wrote about regarding death and memory. I’m not a scholar in the field and I don’t read French, but the texts I have read on this topic are very meaningful to me. This article is funny, and sad, because it talks about what happened to Derrida’s writings after he died.
