On Juneteenth, may we take the opportunity to learn from our nation’s history, reflect on the struggle for equality, and celebrate the resilience and achievements of the African American community. Let us rededicate ourselves to the continuing journey towards true freedom and justice for all people, regardless of race, creed or background.

So, you may or may not have heard that the @GirlsWhoCode books were restricted for a period of time in Central York, PA.

Flash forward to this week... I'm so proud that Girls Who Code's books are among the banned books that @Pink is giving away at her South Florida shows.

Remember, academic success is not solely measured by research outputs or publications. It's also about the wellbeing and sense of belonging experienced by individuals within the academic community. Let's prioritize the whole person, not just their academic achievements.

A late congratulations to @SROD_VT and her research team on their new NSF-funded research project, “The Computer Science as a Career Scholarship Program.” I can’t wait to read more of her computing-identity related research findings! 🤓 🎉
