So proud of the @yukoncollege CubeSat team who was at @UAlberta last weekend for the @csa_asc Mission Concept Review. From what I saw on Instagram, we were the only team with a woman presenting. Way to go Annabelle! #womaninstem @YukonSat

Quebec introduced a universal childcare program 20 years ago. While hardly lavish, it produced the highest rate of female workforce participation in the world. It also raised Quebec's fertility rate. And it paid for itself, through added tax revenues created by working women.
Thank you @JohnStreicker for being an ally to #womeninSTEM!
Thanks @AlisonVAnderson to you and the Yukon team working to increase the % of women in Science, Engineering, Trades and Math!

RIP Ex-Alta 1, sent into orbit in May, 2017. So proud of our students and faculty members who designed and built Alberta's first satellite. @csa_asc @EngineersCanada @APEGA_AB #UAlberta #QB50 We will be losing contact after 17 months.

I'm moving on from #coldclimateinnovation @yukoncollege, and I've changed my handle to @AlisonVAnderson. Still an engineer, still a feminist - you can expect to see the same kind of tweets!

Loved this talk by @petitegeek at #techwvanouver!
The first time giving a 60min talk on my specific passion - affective computing! Robots x affect is my jam. Note: I talk about Inside Out as stereotypes and gave a shoutout to work in social constructionism.

CubeSats are venturing into deep space, testing the limits of what these tiny satellites might be capable of: ed.gr/xuf1 @AstronomyMag
Hey @WellCentre, I'm interested in learning more about the innovative work you are doing and seeing if #coldclimateinnovation @yukoncollege could support you!
