March 17: Women in Tech Weekly Issue 50
Happy Tuesday everyone, I hope you’re staying safe! Things have escalated quickly last week with Coronavirus (or COVID-19) being officially named a pandemic. The world seems surreal, I’ve never witnessed anything like it…
I hope you are taking the necessary measures to stay safe yourself and to take care of your community! At the same time, Coronavirus shouldn’t be everything you read/watch/talk about – because this information/panic overload it might have negative on mental health. So, to distract you from all of that – here’s another issue of Women in Tech Weekly!
Don’t forget to share your story for the next one. Make sure to check out the submission form at the bottom of the post 🙂

Haley has a new blog website!
In her own words:
“I want to be a woman who uses the little platform she has to scream from the mountain tops that everyone *yes, EVERYONE* deserves a chance to be exposed to the beauty of science, technology, mathematics, and engineering. I am sick and tired of the STEM field feeling like this elite, inaccessible field that only certain “privileged” people belong in.
STEM is for everyone; that’s what this platform is all about.”

My Take On Google’s Six Chart Design Principles – created and shared by Haley
Haley says:
“In 2017, a group of brilliant Google employees from different backgrounds (graphic design, research, engineering) came together to create a complete guide to data visualization. One of the byproducts of this guide was a list of six principles for designing any chart. These principles aren’t rocket science, but they are details that many people push under the rug. As a result, data visualizations are not as impactful as they could potentially be.”
