Excited to announce that registration is open for GREPSEC V -- a workshop for early-stage grad students doing research in security and privacy who come from underrepresented populations. Women/NB/gender minorities, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, etc.

In my research lab group, we've been conscious about racist language in computing and made changes in our discussions to avoid it. To be more inclusive in your work, break down the expectations of institutionalized racism by not following them.

10k Bitcoin for 2 pizzas 😭

[Documenting ₿itcoin 📄 @DocumentingBTC]

Everyone knows the story of the guy that bought 2 pizzas for 10,000 #bitcoin in May of 2010.

But as of today, you're able to buy 10,000 pizzas with 2 #bitcoin! With this ending, it has become the greatest internet story ever told.

I'm happy to share that I earned a $9.1K grant with @BaldaguezMedina from the IDEA Institute at Illinois to develop a mentorship program to support Hispanic students to learn about grad school pathways! Here's to breaking more barriers for representation.

@LizBocanegra_ 100% agree! I address this exact issue in my SHPE chapter at the University of Illinois, check us out! We're expecting to publicly contribute a program structure ran by URM grad students at the end of the semester

Failures translate to learning. Don't stay stuck on what went wrong and instead focus on what you need to move past it and grow -- A lesson from the Building Resiliency & Overcoming Failure session at @CRA_WP's #2021IDEALS Workshop
