How neurodivergent women navigate late diagnoses and thrive in entrepreneurship, focusing on inclusion and invisible disabilities. My chat with Regina Casteleijn-Osorno from the UNI of Turku examines women entrepreneurs who are also caregivers to disabled children.

A promotional image for the “NeurodiversityTalk” podcast features two hosts, Regina and Antonio, against a dark background. Regina, a woman with red wavy hair and subtle makeup, appears on the left wearing a black top, while Antonio, a man with graying hair, glasses, and a beard, is on the right in a green-hooded sweatshirt. Bold yellow text “NeurodiversityTalk” overlays the top, with black “Neurodiversity” text above it.

Honor's bold robot phone is real. At CES 2026, a prototype was briefly shown with a pop-out camera andDJI Osmo-like camera and gimbal. Part of the body houses these components when folded, explaining its thicker design compared to ultrathin devices. buff.ly/dccezDn
A prototype of the phone, with its pop-out DJI Osmo-like camera and gimbal. Part of the phone's body is given over to housing these elements when they're folded away, so it's understandably not among the cohort of ultrathin devices.

The map also includes a compass rose, mountains, forests, a river, and illustrations of dragons and sea monsters, all in an antique, hand-drawn style.

I met Max Tegmark, author of Life 3.0, at @websummit.bsky.social: 95% of people want AI as a tool, not a replacement. He warned that right now, the US has more regulations on sandwiches than on AI. Powerful call for responsibility, consensus, and keeping tech human-centered! #AI #Ethics #WebSummit

Major tech companies are portrayed as vulnerable and technically sloppy; they rely on “buildings full of lawyers” to crush challengers rather than superior engineering.

One of the iconic moments of the @websummit.bsky.social today in Lisbon was the parade of flags carried by founders from more than 100 countries. Diversity is key to innovation.

#WebSummit
A group of people stand on stage at Web Summit, each person holding a different national flag. The stage background is illuminated in blue with the “web summit” logo, and a large screen displays close-up footage of participants. A man walking with a white cane carries the Portuguese flag during a flag procession as the audience sits nearby and applauds. Other flag bearers and media personnel are visible in the brightly lit arena. A scene inside a large arena with a woman and a young woman carrying national flags, followed by a procession of other flag bearers, as a packed audience watches and applauds. Many flags are visible among the crowd and the blue-lit stage is on the left. People holding various national flags, including India’s, are walking onto the Web Summit stage as camera operators film the procession. The blue “web summit” logo and numerous flags are clearly visible in the background.

Greetings from the Lisbon @websummit.bsky.social.

#WebSummit
The first image shows a large indoor arena filled with people seated in rows, with the audience waiting for an event to begin. The lighting is dim with blue and purple hues illuminating the space, and the atmosphere is lively with attendees spread throughout the venue. The second image displays the main stage at a major tech event, with the words “web summit” prominently featured on large screens. The stage is lit up in blue, surrounded by cube-shaped light installations, and the screen also displays the message “We’re starting soon.”

I'm editing my upcoming podcast. We talked with Gail Ramster, co-author of Designing Inclusive Public Toilets - Wee The People, and a researcher at the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design. She focuses on people-centred design to improve toilet access for all.

Check our channel www.buzzsprout.com/719037
Two professionals featured side-by-side against a dark background: on the left, Antonio, a man wearing purple-framed glasses and a burgundy sweater over a dark shirt; on the right, Gail, a woman wearing a leopard-print patterned top and white earbuds. Large red and white text in the center reads “INCLUSIVE DESIGN INSIGHTS,” emphasizing the focus of their discussion or collaboration.
