Meet Stephanie

Published 12/28/04

I was doing some research on textiles and stumbled upon Dr. Stephanie Kwolek. In the 1960s she invented both Kevlar (for bulletproof vests) and Nomex (for fireproof clothing).

How many lives you figure she’s saved?

Weigh In

I'm Andrew. I write things. I edit things. I get paid to do this.

I'm a long-time technology and business writer -- I wrote about the Internet before there was a World Wide Web, and about computers when a 286 was fast. I've also written about insurance, financial services, real estate, taxes, and a lot more.

I mock everything. I take few things seriously. Apparently this makes me a bad person.
