Today I'm launching something near and dear to my heart...VERY near and dear -- a podcast project with my phenomenal favorite neuroscientist (& wife), @analog_ashley !

On "Change, Technically" we're coming to your ears to share tales of who gets to be technical. We dig into STEM pathways & how leaders can learn from psych and neuroscience to think about cultivating innovation. We share our stories from classrooms to software teams. Plus new Cat & Ashley lore!

I just don't know what the change theory is from people who post a thousand times over that "managers are evil" and "the problem is managers"

is the problem really the one woman who finally got to lead a tiny engineering team

or are there other factors we're thinking about
