I've been having a bit of a cardiac adventure lately, and I thought I'd take a moment to share the story. I’m having heart surgery at the end of May.

“Philanthropy is about giving, donating your time, money, experience, knowledge, skills, or talent to better the world. I give because even when I feel like it’s not a lot, I’m reminded that it’s enough and that I still have something to give that can impact and change the future of just one girl. Regardless of your status or net worth anyone can be a philanthropist. I wish my legacy to be impactful in a way that my work and projects I share inspire or move people to change something in their lives or to be moved to make something magical that inspires and helps others. I may not be able to change the world, but I can try to inspire enough people to remind them that they are worth pursuing knowledge.” - Amie Dansby

Rare as a Unicorn: Female tech trailblazers are headed to Adelaide’s technology festival in droves. Yet some of them say the cutting edge of science is still a sexist minefield where limiting assumptions are made about women.
