It has been more than two years in the making, but 13 new astronauts have finally joined @NASA under the mission that will bring the first female to the moon 🌕and some may be the first humans to step on Mars.⁣
⁣.⁣
⁣.⁣
⁣The group includes six women and seven men, two of them were Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronauts, and all were chosen from record-setting pool of more than 18,000 applicants.⁣
⁣.⁣
⁣.⁣
⁣NASA is set to send the first woman and next man to the surface on the Moon🌒 by 2024 in the Artemis mission, with plans for additional lunar missions once a year thereafter and a human exploration of Mars is targeted for the mid-2030s. @dailymailus ☄🚀 🛰📡 🔭⁣

In 1973 the SWE Council of Section Representatives (now Senate) voted to endorse the #ERA, a strong departure from its earlier political neutrality. This was controversial… The 1973 @SWEtalk #EqualRightsAmendment endorsement read: “To add strength to your individual voice the following resolution has been approved by the Council of Section Representatives of the Society of Women Engineers…”

➡️ SWE Conferences offer professional development and networking opportunities dedicated to women engineers. This year’s theme was “WE Live. WE Learn. WE Lead.” and offered 250+ professional development sessions in the form of keynote speakers, mega and plenary panel sessions, lightning talks and events with mix of leadership development and emerging technologies topics. Keynote speakers from @Medtronic, @3M and @Disney talked about their career journeys and how to leverage SWE to a build support system to help you aspire and advance in your career. Key messages from keynote speakers on asking powerful questions with grace in order to navigate difficult discussions and “build your squad” at work resonated with attendees. Keynote speaker Carol Malnati also spoke about the role of women in innovation. This set tone for my lightening talk on “Demystifying Innovation: A Designer’s Perspective.” My session discussed key barriers for innovation journey based on a research survey of 100+ R&D engineers and shared actionable learning through the “IDEA innovation framework.” The session was well received and generated more discussion about idea books, patenting and design thinking. It was an experience of stretching my own limits and moving out of my comfort zone. I have learned a lot as an attendee and as a speaker.
