“Can I bring my baby to the interview?” The message came in at 11 PM: “Hi, I have an interview with you tomorrow at 2 PM. My childcare fell through. Can I bring my 8-month-old? I understand if you need to reschedule.” Old me would have rescheduled. Unprofessional. Distraction. Red flag. New me replied: “Absolutely. See you tomorrow.” She showed up with her baby on her hip. She apologized three times before even sitting down. Ten minutes in, the baby started crying. She tried to soothe him while answering questions. She apologized again. I stopped the interview and said: “Hey. You’re managing a fussy baby, answering complex questions, and staying calm under pressure. That’s literally the job. Handling chaos while staying professional. You’re already proving you can do it.” Her eyes filled with tears. We hired her. She’s been with us for a year now. The most reliable team member we have. Why? Because when you’re used to handling a screaming infant at 3 AM and still showing up to work the next day, workplace stress feels like nothing. Working parents, especially mothers, are some of the most organized, efficient, and resilient people you’ll ever hire. Yet we lose them because our hiring processes are built for people with zero caregiving responsibilities. If your interview process can’t accommodate a parent facing a childcare issue, you’re not filtering for professionalism. You’re filtering for privilege.

I had an amazing conversation with Alex and Teasha from @CFS_energy at CES 2026. Fusion energy is no longer SciFi! They break ground this year. This picture shows me with a cross section of a superconducting electromagnet for a Fusion Reactor. #fusionenergy #ces2026 #cleantech

The plasma is over 100 million degree Centigrade and just 2 feet away from the plasma, the superconducting electromagnet is chilled to almost negative 250 degrees centigrade. There is no other place in the known universe where such a temperature extreme exists!

Replying to @CFS_energy
The electromagnet is used in a toroidal shape using powerful magnetic forces to contain the plasma for the fusion reaction (about where my face is). Surrounding the plasma is where molten salt is circulated to collect the heat and convert to steam to power a turbine.
