  <title><![CDATA[AE's Marilyn Smith Talks Drones with Neil deGrasse Tyson]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>If you listen to&nbsp;<strong>Neil deGrasse Tyson&#39;s</strong>&nbsp;StarTalk podcast, you might have heard a familiar voice, recently. Daniel Guggenheim School professor&nbsp;<strong>Marilyn J. Smith</strong>&nbsp;was talking drones with Tyson and his cohosts, as well as&nbsp;Drone Racing League founder&nbsp;<strong>Nicholas &quot;Nick&quot; Horbaczewski</strong>. They had a pretty lively talk about the past, present, and future of drone design and racing. The realistic drone racing simulations are made possible by&nbsp;Smith&#39;s unsteady aerodynamics drone research, which Horbaczewski calls&nbsp;&ldquo;ground-breaking&rdquo;.

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
