Honestly can't remember last time I ate cheesepuffs, though me and a co worker once ate a whole big tub of cheese puffs so he could use it as a drum

A1: A notable woman in my personal history is my wife. She is a Nurse Midwife and Ob Gyn Nurse Practitioner. She accomplished...and an angel.
#IEedchat
A1: Looking back, I've admired Toni Morrison since high school English. #herstory is one of great literary success, and I always admired her storytelling and use of language #IEedchat
In 2000 I started working for Helen H. Hobbs @UTSouthwestern and I never knew how commanding and such an extremely good leader a woman could be until I worked for her. Motivated, driven and striving to be the best and that is what resonated with me. #IEedchat
A2: Toni Morrison inspires me to want to write. She uses language to tell a story but also to share truth about the world, and she does so in such a thought provoking and beautiful way. I would love to write like her #IEedchat
A2: Frances Kelsey was one of the first women in the FDA. Instead of keeping her head down - go along to get along - she resisted strong pressure from a huge company to do what was right. Europe suffered a tremendous spike in horrible birth defects - the US was spared. #IEedchat
A2:
The biggest inspiration was helping me be honest with my failure, okay with it, and then consistent encouragement to grow and learn from it.
This has affected most of my personal life and professional career as well.

Dr. Hobbs instilled in me some loss hope I had in myself. Her trust and belief in me inspired me to push further and make myself better.She is a maverick in the science community #IEedchat
A2: Some do not know the name of Dolores Huerta, civil rights activist, who worked w/Cesar Chavezand the UFW. She and others inspire me toward social justice, civil rights #IEedchat
A1) A woman who has had an impact on me is Brianne Ford, CTO from Irvine USD. Strong leader who is organized, understands the high level impacts and gets instruction. #IEedchat
Being in touch with classroom instruction...
...That's so important at all levels, but I think often undersold at those high levels. Great note.

A3: Ruth Bader Ginsburg-
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Women's Rights and American Civil Liberties Union warrior.
#IEedchat
A3: Dr. Hobbs is an inspiration for any young lady pursuing science as a career, I also think that the peope that do @vidcode are amazing, since they create ways to get girls to learn code and hopefully pursue careers in CS. #IEedchat
A3: I am blown away by the bravery of the #metoo movement's women activists. They have nothing to gain but they are shifting the ground under our feet! We owe them a tremendous debt of gratitude. #IEedchat
A3: the me too movement and times up movement are huge right now and shedding very important light on abuses in the work place and by those in power #IEedchat
A1 part 2, I would have lied if I didn't say my mother for always pushing me and reminding me that I can't be #1 always, but it doesn't stop me from trying #IEedchat
A3: Melinda Gates, co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which is the largest private foundation in the world, working to aid in healthcare and decrease poverty, as well as provide funding for educational technology in schools #IEedchat
A4: all the movements right now to end the gender pay gap and end abuse are very important. Areas of improvement are still in Hollywood with women being underrepresented #IEedchat
A4: You can be gender unbiased and say that what ever a guy can do a girl can do as well. Personally after coaching rugby with Males and Females, I found the ladies so much easier to coach and more appreciative of what you were doing for them. #IEedchat
A4: The Times Up campaign is really important in changing the way we approach sexual harassment in the workplace. It has the potential to change our society for the better #IEedchat
A5: Treat all as equals, they all have a contribution to the greater good of all. No one is less than any other, we need to change that ideology here in the states and in the world. #IEedchat
A5: First, to be more inclusive to women, s-hole men can stop doing the following things: beating them, raping them, sexually harassing them, and under-paying them. #IEedchat#Timesup
A6: Easy! Women will wield their power at the ballot box. They will vote in greater numbers than in the past and they will bring greatly needed change to our imperiled democracy. #IEedchat
A6: Gender equality in pay; needs to happen now. No excuses. I think women will impact our story as they enter more science and tech fields and show all of us nerdy men just what they can do #IEedchat
A4: I encourage girls to get involved in sports. It develops a growth mindset and it is an amazing way to build positive relationships with other girls. #ieedchat
FT: Somewhere in the good ol US of A is a young lady that will become President based on her sound leadership and motivation. No one will doubt her presidency #IEedchat
