#3“Actual” is such a weird word. From the title it sounds like it is going to contrast what people think is this person's work with what they actually did. Maybe to make a point that they did less work themselves than people assume or think.

(I'm gonna assume that this is the original pamphlet and not a copy, of course.)

I think the "actual" here means something like "in contrast to the movie Hidden Figures, which gives only a superficial view of what Katherine Johnson actually did". So instead of a few minutes in a movie with some equations scribbled on a blackboard, this is the actual work in context.

Yeah, I've often wondered if that's her normal speaking voice, or if she adopts that particular tone just for her videos.

#8This work was done by a team of people. This is commonly misattributed to a single person.
