Happy 107th Birthday Grace Hopper!

Grace Hopper - namesake of NERSC's flagship supercomputer and inspiration for today's Google doodle. Hopper created COBOL, the program that allows computers to communicate through language as well as numbers. She joined the Navy Reserve in 1943 and reached the rank of rear admiral in 1985.
