"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." - Anne Frank.
On #HolocaustRemembrance Day, let's echo her words and act against discrimination.

Impostor syndrome thrives on lies and the best cure is a dose of truth. Surround yourself with people who will speak truth into your life when you need to hear challenging things so that you can also trust what they say when you need to hear encouraging things.

Great to see @GretaThunberg at #WEF20 today. Once again, I was struck by her potent and sobering call to action. Nobody speaks truth to power as she does: “Our house is still on fire. Your inaction is fueling the flames by the hour.” nytimes.com/2020/01/21/clima…

#Environment, #climate, #ethics; what are the impacts and the costs of our food choices? Speaker Ed Winters will present this topic during his Campus Lecture, on Monday, December 16 at 5:15pm in the Forum Rolex. Introduction by @MartinVetterli. go.epfl.ch/EdWinters

Brilliant decision for @TIME to choose @GretaThunberg as its Person of the Year. Greta embodies the moral authority of the youth activist movement demanding that we act immediately to solve the climate crisis. She is an inspiration to me and to people across the world.

There’s a big difference between diversity and inclusion. Diversity is getting everyone in the room. Inclusion is making sure each person has equal voice and opportunities.
Inclusion without diversity is unfair.
Diversity without inclusion is cruel.
We desperately need both.

Taking care of our planet, is a matter of looking after our own home. We can no longer exploit the earth’s resources—the trees, water, air and minerals—with no care for the coming generations. I support young people’s protests at governments’ inaction over the climate crisis.

Listening to lyrics that blame women,
watching TV that objectifies women,
through attitudes we don't question,
and jokes we laugh at,
we become part of a culture that allows rape to continue.
Change starts with all of us. #orangetheworld #16days

"Gender bias goes away when grant reviewers focus on the science - But female scientists suffer when their research proposals are judged primarily on the strength of their CVs."
