#LongCovid folks, including anyone w/symptoms lingering at least 12 weeks after #Covid, do you have a few mins to participate in this study on the employment and financial impact of your symptoms? It’s organized by Katie Bach at the Brookings Institution, who has done great work on the economic impact of Long Covid.

No geographic restrictions; roughly 10 mins (I found it shorter, even), but also allows for breaks if needed, just leave browser open!

Boosts appreciated!

In 1968, at 30 years old, Lynn Conway transitioned. In doing so she lost her wife, her children, and her job at IBM. She continued on, living authentically as her true self and continued her career as an electral engineer. In 1978 she became an associate professor at MIT and taught a course in VLSI (very large scale integration) that became the basis of the Mead-Conway VLSI Design Methodology, changing how we design integrated circuits. In 1985 she became a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Michigan, and later the associate dean of engineering.

32 years after transitioning, Conway came out publicly as a transgender woman. Since than she has been a advocate for transgender people in the tech sector. In 2020 IBM formally apologized for firing Conway for being trans, over 50 years after the fact. Just a bit of #transHistory I learned today.
