After having a #stroke in 2017, my father (who cut my hair when I was growing) came out of retirement to flex his improving muscles and motor skills. I can finally stop scaring colleagues/students on @zoom_us with my no- haircut-for-2-months appearance. #StrokeModelingResearch
My kids were disappointed in @salesforce. Go to this link (mrbeast.salesforce.com/quali…) and notice that it never actually sends you the so-called "magic
link" (they claim it's in your junk/spam folders). But it seems to be an email collection scheme. Shameless.

Being a girl dad, I'm just loving the rise of women's sports. @ncaawb just finished.
Tomorrow, it's on to the national @NCAAVolleyball championship.
RCEL's 3rd C-suite engineering leader, Dr. Sandra Johnson, did not disappoint. The audience had so many questions for this engineer-turned-CEO (and former CTO) that the discussion could have gone on much longer. Stay tuned to see which C-suite engineering leader is next!
@RiceECE alumna Sandra Johnson returned to campus recently for an inspiring @RCELConnect fireside chat, celebrating her impactful career and the launch of her new book, “Soft Power for the Journey: The Life of a STEM Trailblazer.”

I commend the UT System for today adding hope to families with a Promise. (@RiceUniversity made a similar 'Investment' [giving.rice.edu/rice-investm…] some years ago.)
NEW: The UT Board of Regents approved free tuition and waived fees across the UT System for students whose families make less than $100,000 annually, the Board announced Wednesday.
Story to come @thedailytexan.
Our third engineer to reach the C-suite will be 'in the house' here at Rice tomorrow/Thursday night! Don't miss the chance to hear from Dr. Sandra Johnson. RSVP to secure your in-person spot, or alumni can register to join us online.
Engineers in the C-Suite features executives & thought leaders from tech organizations who uniquely employ or depend on engineers. RCEL is honored to host Dr. Sandra Johnson '88, CEO, SKJ Visioneering Inc. & former CTO, IBM, Africa, on November 21.

Praying for family, friends, and the rest of my native hometown of @CityofTLH, FL tonight.
Has host Joe.K (and guest) been asked to retract his comments yet about this scrappy innovative start-up? Wired: AI startup @perplexity_ai is 'BS machine' cnb.cx/4bjNl2p
My kids bring me my shiny @FortuneMagazine issues with such pride. Especially the editions featuring C-suite engineering leaders;)
A man who was quietly behind a lot of thoughtful strategy and a prominent @OfficialFAMUDRS K-12 parent.... will be missed. #AFriendOfMyParentsToo
We are saddened to hear about the passing of the President of the 220 Quarterback Club and FAMU Sports Hall of Famer, Eddie Jackson.
Jackson will be deeply missed by many.

This was nice to observe on Saturday.
It was an honor to hood Marc-Ansy Laguerre at Rice University’s Doctoral Commencement. Marc-Ansy is from my native country, Haiti. I am so glad our paths crossed and know he will go on to do meaningful work for the people and country we love. #ricegrad2024 #RiceAlumni
