"Whenever one of the graduates, Jane Monroe – a #mathematician who worked in #cryptanalysis in Hut 6 at Bletchley Park, deciphering the coded messages sent on German Enigma machines around the clock – was asked what she did during the war, she would always say: “Oh, I made the tea.”"
My name's Megan, originally from Minnesota but living in the UK which is now home. Always something in my mind and will post about it here. Hope you have a wonderful day!

For an article that I would like to write in 2024, I am looking for disabled women working in tech because I want to show that they exist. Do you know any? I discovered Jenny Lay-Flurrie, Sarah Herrlinger and Denna Lambert. THANKS ! 🙏 #accessibility#a11y#WomenInTech#Disability#Tech#inclusion
I'm absolutely floored. I've been hired by Edera as a Founding Principal Engineer!! Looking forward to working with @alex@ariadne and Emily Long (no masto) bringing guaranteed memory safety and stronger security to virtualization. #fedihired#womenintech#edera#krata#rust
It's 2023. If you still can't find anyone besides your white male friends to speak at conferences, time to step aside and get out of the way.
"Imagine a tech conference having no CFP, as they reach out to speakers directly. They successfully attract some of the most heavy hitter men speakers in tech, and 3 women speakers.
Now imagine my surprise that 2 of those women are FAKE profiles.

I like to run around the farm, hang out with my kiddo, play guitar, snowboard, go camping, play videogames, hang out at the local lesbian bar, and see whatever kind of trouble my wife @deb and I can get into on the weekends.

We can't replace them, but we welcome anyone looking for a friendly, inclusive community to join us at the Data Science Learning Community (@DSLC) https://DSLC.io
We'll be guest lecturing at the Royal College of Art in London next week for RCA masters (of research) students. Will be lovely to share some of our collective's processes and experiments! Co-thinking/making in a collective comes with it's challenges but also so many great rewards when you operate as one multi-tendrilled unit. 🐙
I'm looking for tips on non-male YouTube tech channels.
A lot of the channels I subscribe to consist only of men, or have a non-male very few times.
I already follow @shannonmorse@simonegiertz#PhysicsGirl and #LauraKampf but only Shannon is tech centric.
"Women were disproportionately affected by those cuts, making up 69.2% of all tech layoffs, according to The Women Tech Network. And that's on top of the industry's ongoing gender imbalance. Women hold just 26% of jobs across all STEM occupations and even less — 24% — in computer fields, according to the latest available data from the U.S. Department of Labor."

People ask questions to #learn. I'm at a #conference today and I went up to an exhibitor and asked them about what they do. I'll admit…I was drawn in by their cool logo and nice swag 😅
The person working the table said “you’ve never heard of $foo?!”
