At Scott Logic during LGBT+ History Month 🌈, we’re drawing inspiration from LGBT+ pioneers in our industry. Today, we celebrate Lynn Conway, an American computer scientist, electrical engineer, inventor and transgender activist. Her work in complex microchip design and fabrication paved the way for the modern microchips found in almost all high-technology systems, including computers, mobile phones and the internet. This pioneering work was done in what Conway calls ‘stealth-mode’ after she completed her gender transition in 1968. Since coming out in 1998, she has worked to protect and expand the rights of transgender people, and maintains a well-known website that provides medical resources and emotional advice.

"The course has also reminded me how important representation is; so, if you can’t see the person who looks like you ‘over there’, don’t shy away, go and *be* the person over there." For this post, Claire Cocks interviewed two of the graduates of last autumn's cohort of 'Empowering Women to Lead Digital Transformation in Scotland' – Jennifer Campbell and Atika Bennamane – who share their experiences of the course and some of the key learnings.
