It's National Pie Day, distinct from Pi Day on March 14th, and the first pie recipe dates back to the Romans, featuring a rye-crusted goat cheese and honey pie. A truly "sweet" slice of history, right? In 1849, Elizabeth Blackwell made history by becoming the first woman to earn a medical degree in the U.S., thanks to an unexpected acceptance to medical school. Talk about a "doctor-ordered" twist of fate! Celebrating a birthday today is the iconic John Hancock, born in 1737, whose signature on the Declaration of Independence became synonymous with signing your name. Leaving his "mark" on history indeed! On this day in 1556, the deadliest earthquake in history hit Shaanxi, China, reshaping the area and forming new lakes. It's also National Handwriting Day, highlighting the importance of legible writing, especially in the medical field to avoid prescription errors due to poor handwriting. And in entertainment history, the movie "The Wedding Planner" claimed the spotlight on January 23rd, 2001, while Madonna's "Like a Virgin" topped the charts on January 23rd, 1985. ⏰ Timestamps: 00:26 National Pie Day 00:46 Elizabeth Blackwell 1849 first woman to earn MD in the U.S. 01:02 John Hancock's Birthday 01:18 Deadliest earthquake in history hit Shaanxi, China 1556 01:29 National Handwriting Day 01:42 Number 1 Movie and Song from January 23 Watch, Learn and Enjoy!
