Wanted to spy, but frequently afraid and can't keep a secret. Smartly chose the "those who can't spy, write" path instead. Rarely here. 🦋🐳

English has some weird quirks.
A number of words in English are NOUNS when you stress the FIRST syllable...
But VERBS when you stress the SECOND syllable.
-SUSpect/susPECT
-CONflict/conFLICT
-PROtest/proTEST
-CONvert/conVERT

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?
Because we gave them that L in 1776.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🍗🕵️♀️
Fun fact: Before revolutionizing American cooking, Julia Child served as an intelligence officer in WWII, handling top-secret communications for the OSS (predecessor to the CIA).
🦃 “I always give my bird a generous butter massage before I put it in the oven. Why? Because I think the bird likes it – and, more important, I like to give it.” —Julia Child (OSS agent)

We're thrilled to announce Dawn Meyerriecks as one of our 2025 Hidden Hero Awardees!
For over 40+ years, Meyerriecks pioneered technical innovation across the CIA, DoD, and private sector. She led the CIA's Directorate of Science and Technology from 2014-2021, spearheading the organization's first restructure in its 57-year history. Named one of Fortune Magazine’s Top 100 Intellectuals and a Washingtonian Tech Titan, she has earned two Presidential Rank Awards and has served on the NSA Advisory Board for over a decade.
Dawn Meyerriecks didn't just adapt to the digital age; she helped shape how intelligence agencies operate in it.
The Hidden Hero Awards bring these extraordinary stories "out of the shadows" to honor intelligence trailblazers who changed history but remained largely unrecognized.
