Greetings from the NCO Team.
Throughout the year, we celebrate the Women in NITRD with our "Women in NITRD" webpage which highlights those in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics who have contributed to the NITRD community.
Yesterday, Mallory Hinks, one of the NCO's tech coordinators had the opportunity to attend the Hidden Figures Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony in honor of Katherine Johnson, Dr. Christine Darden, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and all the women who contributed to the success of NASA during the Space Race. She had the opportunity to work on the Hidden Figures Congressional Gold Medal Act while she was a AIP Congressional Science Fellow in the office of Senator Chris Coons.

Learning, Sharing, and Exploring with NIST’s New Human-Centered Cybersecurity Community of Interest (COI)
Human-centered cybersecurity (also known as ‘usable security’) involves the social, organizational, and technological influences on people’s understanding of and interactions with cybersecurity. By taking a human-centered cybersecurity (HCC) approach, we can both improve people's cybersecurity experiences and achieve better cybersecurity outcomes, which is so important in today’s digitally interconnected world. This new COI provides a mechanism for researchers and practitioners around the world to share information and discuss HCC topics.
