“Yesterday a good friend - a neurosurgeon at the

“Yesterday a good friend - a neurosurgeon at the top of her field - asked for advice on how to ‘be heard’ by her peers on the board of their hospital (unsurprisingly, all men). So it got me thinking about my learnings as a woman in the workplace, what I’ve learned along the way, and what I needed to not only make it work but to have it work for me as I progressed from entry to exec-level in a Fortune 500 company.”

“So with that I share five of the key lessons I’ve learned along the way. During these interesting and changing times, they serve as a reminder that it’s us women who need all the edge we can get.” @forbes

⬇️

1️⃣Identify your superpower and use it, use it, use it.
2️⃣Embrace the power of well-placed silence.
3️⃣ Be the master of the obvious.
4️⃣Some colleagues WILL shamelessly regurgitate your ideas as their own - get okay with it.
5️⃣Find your allies and get them invested.

Have you ever tried to put forth any of the above key lessons? If so, let us know by writing the number that connects to the lesson in the comments below!

✨October is #GlobalDiversityAwarenessMonth! In celebration of this month, the SWE Global Women Engineers Affinity Group leaders Claudia Berdugo (lead) and Archana Suryawanshi (co-lead) share how embracing global diversity has been a critical factor in their engineering journey!✨

➡️Claudia Berdugo- came to the USA from her native Colombia in 2017 to earn a Ph.D. at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (@illinois1867). UIUC welcomes the nation’s second-largest international population among public universities, with more than 11,000 #international students and scholars from 110 countries. Her experience at UIUC has been a real journey into #global diversity in several aspects. She finds comfort in learning how diverse and welcoming the #community is for her.

➡️Archana Suryawanshi- is from India and has been working in Global company @JohnDeere, India, since 2011. Being a part of a global company, she has worked with people from different parts of the world. She experienced diversity in the workplace in various aspects: #gender, #knowledge, #skills, #region, #education, and culture-based #diversity. At John Deere, #Diversity and #Inclusion is a culture where equal opportunity is given to all employees to grow, develop, and innovate.

“In a few words, being an immigrant is like havi

“In a few words, being an immigrant is like having two hearts inside your chest. It feels like you don’t belong anywhere: you don’t seem to fit where you are, and you yearn for the land where you come from. You don’t want to go back, but you miss your country. You miss your friends, your family, your past life. In the end, you must overcome the feeling of loss and mourning of your past life to be able to embrace your new life and turn the page toward your future.”
💪🌟
“I was feeling all these things for so long, but then one day I woke up and realized that I wasn’t satisfied with how my life was turning out. I was a single mother of two children, recently divorced, barely spoke English, and didn’t have any professional degree here in United States. “Things have to change!” I thought to myself.”
💪🌟
“That same day I decided that I would be the only person in charge of my success and happiness, and I wasn’t going to wait for anyone or anything to miraculously fix everything for me. Since then, my mindset shifted to a go-getter, war-fighting kind of woman. The pressure to be a full-time star mom is enormous, especially when your kids are very young, but certainly I wanted to be that star mom nonetheless. I knew I needed to make some life adjustments, not just for my children, but for myself, my own well-being, my self-esteem, and my pride.”

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to E

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna for the development of a method for genome editing.
💡🧬
They discovered one of gene technology's sharpest tools: the CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors. Using these, researchers can change the DNA of animals, plants and micro-organisms with extremely high precision.
🧬🦠
Before announcing the winners on Wednesday, Göran K. Hansson, secretary-general for the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, said that this year's prize was about "rewriting the code of life."
🧪🧫
The CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing tools have revolutionized the molecular life sciences, brought new opportunities for plant breeding, are contributing to innovative cancer therapies and may make the dream of curing inherited diseases come true, according to a press release from the Nobel committee. @cnn

This is a MUST READ! @thecut reveals: Finally, a Space Toilet for Ladies
💫🌕✨
Hats off for this remarkable and historic feat of engineering: @NASA has debuted a new toilet, the first in decades, and it was designed with women in mind.
💫🌕✨
While using the loo in zero gravity is not a particularly straightforward task for anyone, it’s especially hard for women, as the toilets at the International Space Station have historically been catered toward men.
💫🌕✨
While this major toilet news is certainly worth celebrating, the toilet still has a few hurdles to clear before it’s officially open for business. Once the toilet makes it to the ISS — which was supposed to have already happened but was delayed — residents will test it out for a few months to ensure it’s as mess-free as promised. If it delivers, then it’ll be free for all to use, and will certainly be appreciated.
