Milyen a munkába visszatérni tervező anyák helyzete? Mivel néznek szembe a munkaerőpiacon pár év kihagyás után? Tárt karokkal fogadják őket vagy egy nagy adag előítélettel?

Azt mondja, egy anya a gyerekkel otthon töltött évek alatt olyan skilleket fejleszt, amire minden vállalatnak nagy szüksége van.

- 13:31How hydrogen could change everything | Colby DeWeese | TEDxUTulsaOne of the biggest problems with clean energy is its unreliability–the wind isn’t always blowing, the sun isn’t always shining…. Colby DeWeese used his background in the energy sector to found a startup focused on using hydrogen as an alternative clean fuel. The biggest problem with hydrogen today is its inefficient production. With his new, more efficient process, he describes a world where renewable energy sources are used to create hydrogen, a completely clean-burning fuel to replace traditional fuels. Colby DeWeese started his career in oil and gas before shifting to hydrogen combustion technology. Along the way, he realized the biggest challenge in clean energy wasn’t making hydrogen work—it was making it make financial sense. Now, he’s developing new electrolysis technology to make hydrogen production as efficient and scalable as battery storage. With a background in chemical engineering and a master’s in oil, gas, and energy law, he brings a rare blend of technical expertise and industry insight to the future of clean energy.

- 16:11It’s All Coercive Control | Christine Cocchiola | TEDxUTulsaWhen many people hear the word “abuse” in reference to a relationship or marriage, their minds may instantly go to physical abuse or violence.

A college professor teaching social work, she received her doctorate in clinical social work from New York University working under the tutelage of Dr. Evan Stark.
