Amazing speech from @GeorgeMcEnroe at #techdiversityawards - every female in Australia should check out @shebarideshare. Plus George rocks. Single mother of four? That’s impressive. And a startup founder? That’s insane.

Kudos to Steve Hodgkinson and @vicgovdhhs for their amazing Rise project bringing neurodiverse people into the public service - talk about being proud to be a public servant! Amazing work. @VicGovAu @TechDiversityAU

Great discussion around transdisciplinarity - and the point that there is no “right answer”. Thanks for your time and insights @MiekevdBijl - look forward to reimagining the academic - government interface too...
