«The real value in changing the status quo and getting more women to the forefront, is by having women share about the important work that they do, and not just talk about their gender as a topic.»
This episode was recorded right before Christmas, when I had the pleasure to chat with Alexandra Gunderson and Sheri Shamlou.
Alexandra inspired by a Women in Data dinner in New York, took it upon her to find likeminded people in Norway. That is how she came across Women in Data Science, the conference that was brought to Norway by Heidi Dahl in 2017. First meetup as a Community was June 2018, and this years WiDS event «Crossing the AI Chasm» is coming to Oslo (and digitally) on May 24th, 2023.
Here are my key takeaways:
Women in Data Science (WiDS)
The Quest for Diversity
Diversity in the workplace
Diversity in recruitment
Get involved: LinkedIn group, Meetup or https://www.widsoslo.com/.
