We remember Rana Plaza. Exactly 8 years ago, the Rana Plaza factory building in Dhaka, Bangladesh collapsed. This tragedy took the lives of 1,138 people, mostly young women, and injured about 2,500, making it the fourth largest industrial disaster in history #RanaPlazaNeverAgain

The successful IPO of UiPath is a fantastic milestone for Europe & another reason to believe that great companies can be built from anywhere. Already more than 75% of early-stage venture deals happen outside the United States!🇪🇺💶📈 economist.com/business/2021/…

“We don’t need to log 800-year-old trees to make T-shirts. Forest ecosystems are home to 80% of the terrestrial species we share this planet with, and habitat loss is a major driver of the decline in biodiversity.” @nicolerycroft1 @Canopyplanet🌲👕 vogue.co.uk/fashion/article/…

1 worker was tragically killed in a garment factory fire in Gazipur this weekend. Fires are common in the fashion supply chain, even when they're not front-page news. Ask brands about their suppliers' fire and safety precautions. Ask #WhoMadeMyClothes? dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/…

There are multiple ways testing can help with the current pandemic. Self swab PCR tests allow you to test from home. Antigen tests would let you test from home and give the results as quick as 15 minutes. 3/n
