This is why I tell journalism students that open-ended questions are better than questions that sound tough. When conservatives first hijacked “woke,” every journalist should have asked them to define it. Cause these meltdowns would have happened a lot.

Ask me why I proud to work for Illumina? I say roll the tape. Congratulations Francis and thank you for your leadership.

Representation matters. Thank you @fdesouza for demonstrating leadership in our commitments to inclusion. #illuminaproud

@LaurenBTaylor_ @DaleRileyII Adorable!

One successful year of parenting in the books! ☺️ @DaleRileyII

Fantastic conversation @CandeRogert and @BillGates on pandemic prevention, climate action, and the many positive impacts of genomics today and in the future!

@Envirosharon @devex @illumina @PhilFebboMD_CMO @BelindaNgongo @gayewalker When the conversation shifts to “how” then we know we are making progress.

Happening now #unga @devex with a few @illumina reps like @PhilFebboMD_CMO and @BelindaNgongo and @gayewalker. Great to see the conversations shifting from Why to How for a more sustainable and equitable future!

Heading to NY for #UNGA & #ClimateWeekNYC,the equivalent to Fashion Week for sustainability professionals.😊Excited to represent @illumina on the NetZero #CDP panel, discuss health equity & intersection of climate change at #WEF session, attend #devex fireside chats, & many more!

We all seek status. Part of maturity is evolving how we pursue it. 1. Materialism: respect me for the possessions I own 2. Mastery: respect me for the excellence I achieve 3. Morality: respect me for the virtues I embody 4. Wisdom: the highest form of respect is self-respect

🌴🧬 🎟 | We’re ready. This time next week we’ll be gearing up for @illumina #IGF. #SanDiego keeping precision healthcare at the forefront of technology. #genomics

With so many analytics at our fingertips, it's crucial that we look beyond the numbers to lead and guide properly. Read my latest contribution to @Forbes Human Resources Council (link below) to find out why. linkedin.com/posts/activity…

I appreciate the opportunity to learn from each response to my recent comment & value your perspectives. I do agree: Never stay in toxic situation & prioritize your mental health. I do also suggest careful & thoughtful navigation of workplace challenges.

@merrilyn57 Merrilyn is right. This holds for any disciplie!

I’m going to go out on a limb and say-this is good advice beyond just tech.

@JermaineJupiter Protect your work history as well. Can’t run at the first sight of trouble always because trouble is too common.Need to stay long enough to learn new things. If you cut & run too often, employers will stop calling because your resume will look lik you cut & run. Not attractive.

If you start a new job and some shit pops off where you start feeling unsettled...start applying. Start interviewing. Protect yourself.

@foshowentmnt @brien_troy @RobertDowneyJr Cogratulations Robert. So nice to see you so happy. Brien you wife leaving was you. You learned. You are better and love will be better because you are. Go find it and then thank her for how she served your life. Your best days are ahead of you!

@brien_troy @RobertDowneyJr Grieve what you need to grieve, but don’t let it hold you back from finding love again. Even if it’s with yourself. Make peace with your situation at your own pace. Wishing you a great future 💙

Today marks 17 years of unadulterated marital bliss.. Susan, you are my bedrock, touchstone and lucky stars to boot.
