Welcome to TechVive Radio. This is Jonathan Kirsting.

And Gina Winstead here.

Ah, ha, ha, ha.

I try and see. You're new to the game, and I'm trying to, like, mix it up for you. So, Gina, this is TechVive Radio. I'm so happy to have you as my co-host, because Audrey can't make it tonight. We're on the radio. I know. She's always in the only places. She is. She's always getting back from some country or some other city.

Exactly.

So she can bring back the best knowledge to our organization in our region. In the meantime, you're going to be her better self and hanging out with us tonight. I'm glad to do it. So real quick, tell us about yourself, Gina. You do some great stuff at the Tech Council. I'm our listeners know all about what you do. Yes. So I've been with the Tech Council almost two years. I'm the Director of Member Engagement here, and I'm also recently named the Director of Diversity and Inclusion. So you need to add one more title? And I'm also the K-I-Z coordinator for Greater Oakland. Oh, I was thinking the other title. Part-time radio host with me. Part-time radio host. You've got to update your LinkedIn profile. Yeah. I'm seeing here with Jonathan Kirsting. This is totally going on LinkedIn. You should. I encourage. I'm taking a picture of you right now. Do it. Just take a picture on my other side. A boomerang. Do you know what a boomerang is? A boomerang?

People that come back to Pittsburgh. That's one definition. But for the younger folks, it's a video that's like two seconds and it shakes back and forth. It's like, is that a boomerang? See, this is where I know nothing. I'm so far. So you need me here. I'm so far removed from anything cool. it's like not even funny.

We'll help you.

That's why I am here.

There's one thing that I think is super cool. It's the Carnegie Science Center Awards. Really? Really cool. This is like been going on for decades now. I know. Yeah. It's exciting stuff because every year in May, they honor like it's educators, it's scientists, it's entrepreneurs, it's technologists. And these are folks that don't often get the limelight put on. And man, for one big night, and really a lot of leading up to it, a lot of attention paid to some really deserving people. And so I couldn't be more happy to be hanging out with Jason Brown, who leads

up the Science Center, to kind of talk about what's going on for this year's Science Center Awards. Jason, thanks for hanging out with us. Thanks for having me here. I'm already prepping my suit. You are? You're going to get thinner lapels this year? Is that the new style for the suit? Yeah, probably. Okay. But I'm like you on. Skate tie, maybe. Oh, yeah, and leather, probably.
