Workshop on Evidence-Based Diversity Initiatives

I hope that some of my mathematics, networks, and complex-systems peeps attend this workshop! It looks good.

Tired of expensive diversity initiatives that haven’t really changed much? So are we 😴. We want to give you 💰 to work on projects based on evidence. Meet new people, change the game. Join us on Sept 21 + 22 @turinginst: https://t.co/gOH4KvRQM7 #womeninSTEM x @STEMGamechange pic.twitter.com/PPgDvIqqy9

Monday Night WASPblogging

The Oxford Learning Institute has an online course on Recruitment that I have been taking. Among the things that are stressed are diversity considerations (as well they should). Accordingly, I wonder if they realize how ironic it is that they are using the acronym WASP for something in the course! (In this case, WASP means Welcome, Ask, Supply, and Part.)

D'oh!
