If you read any article of mine read the #COVID-19 articles as those were the first things I started writing back in 2021. I finally have large enough audience on #substack to share them and get people to actually read them! This was my goal since 2021.

I’ve been collecting Covid-19 data in higher ed for 6 years meticulously screenshotting and saving old web pages and data. The handling of covid-19 was the catalyst for writing this Substack as it revealed the lack of institutional accountability the university offers which is very transparent in the news these days.

Despite its history of male-domination—from corporate to the lab—many beauty companies have recently been trying to tout “equity”—only after being called out by social media campaigns.

Even more concerning is that these beauty standards they promote (often unrealistic, painful, and expensive) are touted by companies led by –shocker—white men!!

If you are a woman or person of color pursuing a #STEM career, you are more likely to be relegated to lower-ranking jobs, or jobs that only require an #associate's degree. There are significant pay gaps especially in #engineering

Learn coding!

Data compression: Very important for images. Small details are removed in “lossy’ compression that are naked to the human eye but make the file smaller and easier to send.

With the “Social Reckoning” upon us, I went back and rewatched “The Social Network” (2010) and of course did a ton of research on the rise of ‘hacker culture’ which stems back to the mid 1980s.

Rosalie Hoyt (right) with Lise Meitner (left) 1960 Bryn Mawr

Lise Meitner (1878-1968) was the first full professor of physics in Germany. She was denied the Nobel Prize for her revolutionary work in nuclear fission. She refused, however, to work on the development of the nuclear bomb-- declaring "I will have nothing to do with a bomb!“

Rosalie Chase Hoyt (1914-2006) Professor of Physics at Bryn Mawr College where she received her PhD under unusual conditions: "There was no biophysics program at Bryn Mawr College when Rosalie Hoyt went there for graduate work. So, she invented one for herself." During her career, she studied nerve fibers, and won several major grants. She was one of the few tenured female Physics professors in the country in the 1960s, there being only about 10.

I regularly work with these students taking MVC (Multivariable Calculus) in 12th grade. Despite what social media and angry parents tell me here, your kids are stressed and wound up tighter than springs. I worry what will happen when the go to college.

Taking #APcalculus in high school is ENOUGH
