I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

If we wouldn't see this happening right now, we wouldn't believe this. A massive blow to the #innovation studies community. #GeoInnoSky
"Some unfortunate news from the USPTO - it looks like the agency will be forced to terminate the PatentsView contract, so all the datasets and disambiguation currently available at patentsview.org will likely go offline on March 28."
