Internships can be crucial pathways to careers in tech for women and underrepresented people of color. I'm glad companies are getting creative about continuing learning opportunities during COVID-19. https://t.co/ywMYfsYcIl

"As the tech industry continues to expand beyond Silicon Valley to other areas across the country, we have the opportunity to reimagine what the sector could look like.” - @melindagates

Congrats to all! So much to learn and work to do!

[Renee Wittemyer @reneewittemyer]

18 months ago, we sat in a small conference room dreaming up ideas on how to shape women’s representation in tech hubs as they grow. I couldn’t have even imagined that would result in the $50M collaboration that @melindagates launched today. #GETcities

I’m so excited to share that my first book, The Moment of Lift, will come out in April. This book is a chance for me to share my story, but more importantly, it’s a chance to share the stories of women I’ve met around the world. https://t.co/JnXKWTyMCM #MomentofLift

"...although the companies expressed a strong desire to increase the number of black, Latina, and Native American women and girls in their ranks, less than .1 percent of their 2017 philanthropic giving focused on women of color specifically." https://t.co/J8cqqUwCz5

Been a year since I started working for @melindagates to lead her women and #tech innovation work- truly amazing. Today we launched #rebootrepresentation and a $12M coalition of tech companies to align their support for girls/women of color! https://t.co/qoAfwvGSm5

In academic seminars, 'Men are > 2.5 times more likely to pose questions to the speakers.This male skew was observable only in those seminars in which a man asked first question. When a woman did so, gender split disappeared'. CHAIRS PLEASE NOTE FIRST Q TO A WOMAN -
EVERY TIME.

Strange principle is emerging:
If you admit misconduct, you resign. But if you deny it, however compelling or voluminous the testimony against you, you continue in office-or on to office-with impunity?
