One of my ancestors invented a Hyposcope.

Another was one of the first women to be granted a patent (for an easy-to-clean sliding window).

On my mother's side I am related to the person that invented the blackboard and coloured chalks.

One of my grandfathers designed a new kind of slide rule and a novel way of swimming.

My dad invented the peak-flow nasal respiratory meter.

I stand on the shoulders of half-baked giants.
