IT need women!
I’m seriously stoked about #16. There were a higher ratio of women in my physics program than have been on any team I’ve worked with in the past 13 years. That’s pretty pathetic. Are you planning on working with the CS department to get them up to speed as well?

Why just design it? Design it, and have Mez do the inkin’!

I love #10, 13, and 17, but maybe that’s because I’ve done those and found a lot of value in them. Over the course of about a year, we seriously decluttered our house, eventually donating or selling nearly half of our possessions. It was great. I’d also be more than happy to join you on #17. While I work to protect amazing places every day, I don’t get out to hike them nearly enough.

Touch Plymouth Rock…
Can’t touch it, it’s in a cage.
