34 years ago today, 14 women, most of whom were studying engineering, were killed by an anti-feminist gun man at École Polytechnique in Montreal. I was a young graduate student studying physics at the time and I will never forget. #MontrealMassacre#NeverForget#WomenInSTEM 🧪🌹

Pre GameGate, this was the incident that taught me women are never safe in tech.

Louise Penny wrote a remarkable novel with this as a backdrop. Highly recommended!

I have a neighbor and friend that went through something similar at their university here in Illinois. I feel sorry for them and for you. Whether someone is present when it happens or immediately knows the victims, takes nothing away from how impactful that can be when it happens in your world. ❤️
