It's here–the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field. Previewed by @POTUS on July 11, it shows galaxies once invisible to us. The full set of @NASAWebb's first full-color images & data will be revealed July 12: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages

This week we celebrated @Salesforce's own Taher Elgamal being elected to the National Academy of Engineering. As the “father of SSL,” Taher invented much of the tech we use to shop, bank, and communicate safely online. Taher, it’s an honor to have you in the Salesforce family!

Explaining decibels is still easier than convincing people that 5 GHz wifi and 5G broadband aren’t the same thing.

Sad to hear of the passing of GEN @ColinPowellCCNY He is and should always remain a national treasure. We were fortunate to have such a person on our planet and as a servant to our nation. God Bless you, Mr. Secretary. Prayers for him and his family.

To her grave, my grandmother always insisted she was just a government secretary during WWII but her children always suspected she was one of the “Code Girls.” After her death, we found this in her papers.

ICYMI in the reminder email! Tomorrow Fortinet will put a dollar in a "virtual jar" for every Twitter post using the event hashtag #FortinetOTSymposium. All funds raised will be donated to Women in CyberSecurity. I'm Danielle Jablanski and I endorse this message.
This is what my thesis adviser Roger Needham told me 30 years ago – "good research is done with a shovel, not with tweezers!" When you find yourself picking up the crumbs left by others, it's time to go find a new pile of muck to drive your shovel into
Why do so many researchers feel like their academic fields are in crisis, or hitting a dead end? Maybe it's because our academic system keeps researchers pointed in old, tired directions. noahpinion.substack.com/p/wh…

After 100 years of always serving, George Shultz has passed. He served in 4 cabinet posts as Secretary of State, Treasury, Labor, Budget. But I will always remember him for what he did in later years, helping reduce nuclear weapons in the world. RIP Mr. Shultz.

He was a wonderful @Hooverinst colleague who was an inspiration - hungry for knowledge, dedicated to country, committed to making the world better for the next generation. RIP, Sec. Shultz.
Our dear colleague, George P. Shultz died Feb 6 at age 100. One of the most influential secretaries of state in our history, he knew the value of one’s word, that “trust was the coin of the realm,” and forever changed the course of human events. hvr.co/39Zw5mZ

George Shultz was writing about gray zone conflict before it was cool: "The ironic fact is, these new and elusive challenges have proliferated, in part, because of our success in deterring nuclear and conventional war" (1986).

"A big part of this work is making sure we're elevating the voices of these under-represented communities, that we're doing deep listening sessions..." Hear from @AllyLegend on how @salesforce is working to elevate Black voices and drive change. diginomica.com/black-history…

To reach the ~youth~ we're going to have to make infosec sea shanties, aren't we? Guess so! Behold the tale of kid who reuses their passwords & ends up pwn'd, then learns how to stay safe. We're on a mission to encourage unique passwords stored in a password manager with MFA on.
