I enjoyed this episode of @LostWomenofSci's #podcast highlighting Y.Y. Clark - affectionately referred to as the "First Lady of Engineering". Y.Y displayed an unbelievable commitment to advancing #WomenInSTEM that should be modeled and admired by many. msft.it/6012djZcQ

My board work brings me so much inspiration - especially with news like this from @PNCBank. Education unlocks many doors, and this program will help close equity gaps and aid in our societal challenge to solve the talent shortage. msft.it/6013dbYBT

Government agencies have a responsibility to best serve citizens and automated voice assistants can improve equity and efficiency but often have adverse effects. We must build empathy into these solutions to create the best #CustomerExperience. nextgov.com/it-modernizati…

NEW @CenDemTech/@Georgetown ANALYSIS: Only 25% of election websites are using the .gov domain. Election officials need to have a trusted web presence. A .gov domain is a key element of that, but adoption is too low. 🧵 washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…

To reach gender parity in STEM roles, we need to inspire more girls to pursue science. Love seeing these women and organizations highlighted by @NaturePortfolio. #WomenInSTEM nature.com/immersive/insp…

As the #education industry adjusts to the digital world, we must make sure they are equipped with the right security tools and protocols - but only 8% of #EdTech leaders say their state provides enough funding for this mission. #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth edweek.org/technology/cyb…

Diversity in #cybersecurity does more than open pathways for individuals - it creates stronger threat detection and develops better security protocols. #cybersecurityAwarenessMonth forbes.com/sites/forbeste…

Some reflections on the @WhiteHouse announcement of an #AI #BillofRights today. It's a big step. Folks can feel frustrated that BoR isn't binding policy... but that's not in @WHOSTP's power. Instead, what we get is a powerful, thoughtful document detailing harms & ways to address

Without transparent dialogue and reporting brought on by governance, #ESG is an afterthought and, because of that, will not be successful. We must work to ensure these efforts are driving real impact and are embraced by all aspects of an organization. forbes.com/sites/forbesbu…

Environmental inequity isn't new, but for many, they're just starting to hear about it. Kudos to the @EPA for elevating this conversation and integrating environmental justice into many facets of government work. #ClimateChange msft.it/6017dyElL

Too often the end user is absent from #tech development conversations. This paper shows that #AI can have a huge benefit for mental health workers but must be created with their partnership. msft.it/6011dyEbc

The @USDigitalCorps is one of my favorite new federal programs. The mutually beneficial program creates opportunity for early career technologists and innovation for federal organizations. Can't wait to see what comes from year two! msft.it/6017d8Nod

Equitable healthcare is better healthcare. I'm encouraged by the focus on #HealthEquity across the industry, with 28% of healthcare leaders calling it a top priority, up from just 4% last year. We still have miles to go but this is progress. healthtechmagazine.net/article/2022/0…

To reach the same 2021 earnings as white men, Black women had to work from January 1, 2021, to September 21, 2022. That’s 263 extra days of work. Let’s continue to put pressure on employers, governments, and each other to show up for Black women. #EqualPay abcnews.go.com/GMA/Living/mon…

Diversity creates better work and is especially important in the @NFL where 70% of athletes are African American but only 5.8% of all physicians at American professional sports teams identify as Black. This gap represents a potential for better medicine. msft.it/6015jNAhP

257 years is too long to wait to close the economic gender gap. #PNCProject257 Day serves as a celebration of the work we’ve done, a reminder of the potential we have yet to realize, and a source of inspiration for others to join us on this journey. pnc.co/3BBGCm2
