I would love to collaborate on some projects with Nikola Tesla; either his projects or mine. I read his biography a few years ago and have had a thing about becoming a hobbyist electrician/inventor ever since.

Tesla invented AC while Edison invented DC. Or discovered.
The history of the two men and the cities that they " lit up" is quite fascinating.
So true about Tesla. Would be nice if he were here to discover and invent how to store the vast amounts energy that harnessed. Via the sun,wind etc... To store that.

I'm particularly fascinated by his death ray that nearly brought down the Brooklyn Bridge. And also how his lab mysteriously burnt down and his notes were stolen.

(lol, just for the record, that isn't the project I would be looking to collaborate on).

Tesla - I love his socialism and his principles of making technology open and free

Ann Bonny - I'd love to hear her life as she tells it, not what the books say

There are a number of female scientists I'd love to talk to. I can pick just one. I want to know how they coped with doing research, how they found support, how they dealt with the religious pressure and pressure to be at home.

Bayard Rustin

I'd just want to sit next to him on a bench while he told me about his life as an activist.

I'd be interested in spending an afternoon talking with a best friend I had, growing up. She passed away a few years ago from undiscovered brain cancer, but we were close friends growing up and it would be so nice to learn why she moved to Chicago to attend college and how she finally met her partner, of many many years.
