Getting equal pay shouldn't require a lawsuit. But when it does, the people who fight for fairness make the world better for all of us. Go @mpinoe and team!
The USWNT has settled its class action lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation for a total of $24 million, the two sides announced on Tuesday. Megan Rapinoe described it as, "A monumental win for women's sports and women's soccer, in particular." es.pn/3BHTOV1

RBG taught us to always fight for what we believe in. We will forever be in her debt for her lifetime of service for women, equality, and justice. Mourning the loss of a superhero tonight 🦸🏾‍♀️

Black women and women of color have long been underrepresented in elected office and in November we have an opportunity to change that. Let's get to work.
At least 267 Black, Latinx, Asian, Native American, Middle Eastern and North African women are running for the House and Senate, shattering 2018's numbers. huffp.st/9yilQmd

John Lewis: when historians pick up their pens to write the story of the 21st century, let them say that it was your generation who laid down the heavy burdens of hate at last and that peace finally triumphed over violence, aggression and war. nytimes.com/2020/07/30/opini…

I get a renewed sense of optimism every year seeing the student projects at #ISEF and how they're reimagining the future! @Society4Science
Replying to @Society4Science
. @dnag09: There's few moments in history where we get this opportunity to really question why things are the way they are. Take your experiences & ask yourself if this is something that can be done better in the future. #RegeneronISEF

@StartXMed was a crazy bet for @StartX in 2011 when all VCs were running from the space. StartX's focus on great medical founders with hard core science, long term horizons and huge impact seems like it's working out. So proud 😊 @dnag09 @andrewlee
StartX’s first billion dollar #MedTech company just hit a $3.56B Market Cap! Congrats @KodiakSciences + Chairman/CEO Victor Perlroth! Does this make #StartX the only biotech accelerator w/ a billion dollar company? kodiak.com/ #StanfordEntrepreneurs #FounderSuccess
