"I am a STEM Ambassador. I visit schools promoting engineering as a career as well as apprenticeships ... I’m quite passionate about this, as there are so many opportunities ... that many people aren’t aware of." Charlotte Jones BEng (Hons) EngTech MICE https://t.co/E6Xo3RLY7G

"Why do women keep saying they don't feel welcomed in acoustics and audio?"

I guess we should appreciate the warnings right at the job ads about the profiles they want to make "feel at home".

[Mumsnet @MumsnetTowers]

"It is a long known and widely unchallenged fact that women’s careers can be stunted by becoming mothers. For this they pay a ‘motherhood penalty’, whereby the pay gap for mothers is even starker."
@VanzylJane, CEO of @workingfamUK.

@SoundguardUK Every. Time. (I hope it went well!)

[Emma Butt Sound @EmmaButtSound]

This lovely comment was left on the full youtube video I did with Avid and the ignorant point of view displayed is exactly why representation matters. Women are interested in audio work, be that music, live sound or post. But we are still faced with barriers like sexism….

If you haven't yet read @ndinemaggie's letter to her future self, dive in.

Maggie shares the highs and lows of returning to work - how unexpectedly hard that journey has been - and the lessons she's learning along the way.

There's only really 1 thing I miss as a #vegetarian: #marshmallows. Today I stumbled upon some #vegan ones and was (once again) that mad person jumping for joy in the shop! I've been veggie since 1990-something. They were gooood! #goodnews #whocares

@DrJaninaRamirez Hi. Just another random person who thinks you're pretty awesome 😀

[Rachel Bennett @rebennett_x]

@HunstantonSLS trying to book on your website but it isn't working. Please can you help? Thanks

[Rachel Bennett @rebennett_x]

@SoundguardUK Wow, well done!! Brrrr

[Rachel Bennett @rebennett_x]

OK, enough of #MaunaLoa erupts after 'nearly 40 years'. It was definitely 38 years ago which is not even close to 'nearly 40'. OK??!
