Jennifer Tu
After a number of years in tech, Jennifer has moved on to new ways to change the world. While at Cohere, she helped teams learn to work together more effectively through leadership coaching, team-based technical coaching, and hiring workshops. In her new line of work, she finds she still asks many of the same questions she did before: how do I explain a technical problem to a non-technical audience? can I break this problem into smaller pieces? how much time will this project take?
Betsy Haibel
For fifteen years, Betsy focused her career on empowering engineers and software teams to think deeply about their business domain and better align their code with stakeholders' domain understanding. Today, you'll find her using Benchling more often than VS Code. As a re-entry undergraduate researcher at UC-Berkeley, she spends her days asking important questions in synthetic biology, like "how will this metal dock on this enzyme?" and "why did that PCR fail?"
