Ich nutze den #WomensDay einmal um euch auf wunderbare weibliche Wissenschaftlerinnen aufmerksam zu machen, die leider mehr oder weniger aus der Geschichte gestrichen worden sind, da sie das falsche Geschlecht hatten.

Ich habe in den vergangenen 2 Monaten ziemlich viele Ersatzprodukte getestet, mit Landwirten geredet, einer Ernährungswissenschafterin, Betreibern veganer Würstelbuden, Sozialwissenschaftern etc.

When Mary Shelley wrote #Frankenstein in 1818 (aged 19), neither Jules Verne, nor Welles were born yet (Allan Poe was 9).

🇦🇹 Der neue @BCG Gender #Diversity Index für Österreich 2020 ist da und das Ergebnis für Vorständinnen ist wieder einmal eine Katastrophe: Unterrepräsentiert (EU-Schlußlicht) und unterbezahlt 🌠

If you're as tired as I am of back-to-back Zoom meetings, you should check-out @gitlab's @darrenmurph thoughts on asynchronous communication👇👩‍💻

It's Monday and you may already be hours-deep into a marathon of meetings.

I used my morning to assemble a bed for my toddler.

I built a simple 5-step framework for questioning every work-related meeting. In @gitlab fashion, it's a boring solution 📝👇
