This is the highest honor ever! I am so inspired to see such young girls relating to technologies like Search and Alexa. I am humbled and touched beyond words by their recognition (btw I only contributed to these , definitely did not invent:) These girls are our future!
To celebrate #InternationalWomensDay, one of the daughters of our Consul, @DaAgran, did a 🏫report on an 🇮🇱👩‍💼she admires. She picked @Yoellem because "she was one the inventors of tech. that serves as the cornerstone of modern society - Google Search and Alexa." #MyILWomanHero

Kudos @davidcarmel and Liane for pulling this in such complicated times. Exciting program and there is still time to register for those who haven't already!!
Amazon scientists Liane Lewin-Eytan and @davidcarmel are two of the general chairs at @WSDMSocial. They discuss trends in this year's paper submissions, how the scale of the web transforms familiar problems, and their own work. #AmazonScience #WSDM2021 amzn.to/3uYsZYz
