Bumped into a female MP who has announced she’s standing down. She’s not Labour but I’ve always thought she was good so I told her I was sorry to see her go. She burst into tears & said she doesn’t really want to go but she’s ‘too soft for that place’. Sigh.What have we come to?

Privately many female Tory MPs admitted they would put up with the abuse if they believed it was for a cause worth fighting for. Unease with the future of their party under Boris Johnson’s leadership was at the heart of the decision to step down. ft.com/content/07d6edfc-fcbd…

The more senior you are on a career ladder the more the optics of small behaviors matter, eg ending a meeting on time if others are waiting. Because as inconsequential as it seems it sets optics around organizational standards around consideration and privilege

Hey y’all, I wrote an Op-ed for @nytimes about what I’ve been thinking on this last week. For the portrait I decided on an outfit that I wore on a night I was raped. I’m not sure why I still have that, but it felt very punk rock! Thank you all for your support ❤️ Means the world

Interesting talk from Jess & Jen @Cloudreach on how to get people to buy into you @TechwomenLDN
Diversify your talent pool - different experiences will shape the biases of your algorithms #AI @TechwomenLDN #techwomenldn
Use different techniques, test different algorithms and take your time when approaching the problem you want to solve #AI #techwomenldn
First step to overcoming #AI bias is actually acknowledging it exists - be reflective #techwomenldn
Ask yourself ‘can I do this?’, and answer ‘yes, I can - here’s why’ - strong advice from @TechwomenLDN tonight
