Diversity fuels #innovation, yet our current #biotech workforce reflects an imbalance. According to Forbes the lack of diversity is amplified at the #csuite with people of color comprising only 24% of executive teams and 28% of CEOs. Let's amplify diverse voices and bridge the gap for a more inclusive and pioneering future. #BiotechDiversity #InclusionMatters 🌍💡

Highly recommend this course, we are doing it together as a team (individually) but having great debates thereafter. Such a great course to make you focus on your strengths and super powers as a Mom, a Professional, a Woman in Leadership ..... whatever your journey is as a woman in this absolutely crazy world. Highly recommend for women leaders in corporate or those looking to THRIVE rather than just survive, which is often what we do as women.

Steven Fuller, Global Community Director and Founder of Race in STEM, BioTalent sharing his favourite quote, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". What if, this Golden Rule along with "doing" becomes more about navigating. Imagine a world where empathy is a compass! This "empathy compass" can guide us beyond treating others well. It can push us to challenge injustice. If we wouldn't tolerate something happening to us, we shouldn't tolerate it happening to others. The Golden Rule must become a tool for building a world where everyone feels safe, respected, and understood. What do you think? Please share your comments....

We are honoured to highlight Cenovus Energy as the #TitleSponsor for the 2024 YWE Summit!! Cenovus has been committed since before the Summit was a reality, and gave us the generous push to host this conference of 200+ women in beautiful Kananaskis, Alberta.   Their commitment to #sustainability resonates with the Summit’s #3D theme (Decarbonization, Diversification, Digitization), and they’ve set targets for themselves in five focus areas, including climate & GHG emissions and inclusion & diversity, specifically: 🌱 Reduce absolute GHG emissions by 35% by year-end 2035 as they build toward their long-term ambition for net zero emissions by 2050 💪 Increase women in leadership roles to 30% by year-end 2030 💼 Aspire to have at least 40% representation from designated groups among non‑management directors on the Board, including at least 30% women, by year‑end 2025 Learn more about #Cenovus's commitment to sustainability: https://lnkd.in/d5E3YRNA #SponsorSpotlight #YWE #Cenovus #SustainabilityThroughAction

On #internationalwomensday we are proud to share that at Carbfix, women make up: 🎯 52% of the Carbfix team 🎯 50% of the Executive Team 🎯 60% of the Board of Directors It is unfortunately a well-documented fact that work by females in business, research and other fields is often overlooked and not given ample credit and visibility. On this International Women’s Day we want to shed light on the crucial role that women have played since 2007 in transforming the idea behind Carbfix into a proven technology and business. From its formalisation, the Carbfix project was led by women, first by Hólmfríður Sigurðardóttir and subsequently by Edda Aradottir who further became Carbfix’s CEO upon its incorporation in 2019. Six female researchers devoted their PhD’s programs to research related to Carbfix, including Sandra Ósk Snæbjörnsdóttir, Chief Scientist of Carbfix, and Iwona Gałeczka, Geochemist and Reservoir expert at Carbfix and Chiara Marieni, Geochemist and Program Manager of Commercial Studies, who did her Post Doc related to Carbfix. We will continue our efforts in ensuring equal representation at all levels within our organization, aligning with our goal of not having any gender comprise more than 60% of our workforce, BOD and leaders. #inspireinclusion

When people are heard and feel represented, they can be their best selves and realize their full potential. In 2021, we trained nearly 90% of our employees on how to foster an inclusive culture—one that brings people together to fuel creativity and innovation.

Best invest in Building and talking about Fusion power, space, maritime propulsion systems and industry as data centres are. Great Headline, Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR People talk about Nuclear (meaning Fission) and fail to discuss fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is ignorant of what's happening around it. It must pull its collective uranium heads out of the sand and prepare to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an ever-increasing pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place, and soon to be out of Fuel" and merely temporary. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY Now, see what is happening in the world of the fusion industry. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fuel shortage is increasingly real, https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr

Robust Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) practices play a pivotal role in shaping a positive work culture and driving the success of organisations. However, they are particularly crucial in Pharma/Biotech. Looking forward to the Why Summits PPM Conference this week where I’ll be sharing how we’re putting EDI commitments into action at LifeArc, working to reduce health inequalities, driving quality in science and research through open and diverse collaboration, and addressing the unique needs of different communities. Really looking forward to this panel discussion to gain insights and ideas from others in the sector.
