What’s the connection? @LibnOfCongress is the 14th and yet the first African American and woman to hold this job. @ITUBDTDirector is the first woman to lead @ITU in its 157yr history. Representation matter and changes the world.

Doing a skills workshop this week @AU_SPA that will include "dos/don'ts" of prof. email etiquette and would love suggestions. Bonus points for #cyberpolicy specific things that are in the "do" category. The "don'ts" come all too easy!

This is what I’ve been telling students. Just because you aren’t technical doesn’t mean you can’t work in cybersecurity. The technical community has done cybersecurity a disservice by failing to communicate these issues in a way “normals” understand. We need more translators.
