First #SGC2022 keynote is @irenebenitor of @planet. All you human spaceflight fans can wait for us #EO nerds to have our turn in the spotlight.
And she starts us off right with an invitation to a happy hour on a boat!
Primary topic is DEI. Cool to see #SGAC putting this right up at the front of the agenda.
Also really pleased to hear her argue for diversity on both organizational performance and ethical grounds. Too many people in STEM just focus on the former.

"I'm not saying men have been scheming for centuries to keep us [women] out of the loop."
She may not, but I would.

Tying this back into @planet and #EO now.

Reminds me of Overton & Taylor's first law of geographic information: "the poorer the country, the less and the worse the data"
@irenebenitor asking the hard hitting questions: "What the hell is business casual?"
This is definitely an area that is way more vague and fraught for anyone not male-presenting.

"My friends keep telling me to stop talking about space."
Sounds like you need new friends :P

"If you have an okay personality, stick to it. If you have a horrible personality, please change it and stick to your new personality."
That's some pretty decent life advice there.

"I'm going to WSBW next where everyone is in a suit and is 60 years old." Way to call them out!
Advice for just starting out / non senior positions: "Don't fake it, life is too short... Don't sit next to the coffee, sit in the center... Maybe you have to be a bit uncomfortable to change things."
"SpaceX is fantastic, Planet is fantastic, but they are all founded by men... Take a bet a women, take a bet on minorities."
