Wendy B. Lawrence

US astronaut and Navy Captain

The record lists Wendy B. Lawrence as US astronaut and Navy Captain.

Wendy B. Lawrence was born at Jacksonville in 1959. Her recorded nationality is the United States. She was educated at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and United States Naval Academy.

The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.

Wendy B. Lawrence is described as united states naval aviator, astronaut and engineer.

Her affiliations include National Aeronautics and Space Administration and United States Naval Academy.

The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.

Her work was formally recognised with the NASA Distinguished Service Medal.

Working from the United States shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have her, the language the work first appeared in.

Wendy B. Lawrence is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
