If she is not in the {virtual} office, Tanczer is trying to attend as many meetups, conferences and CryptoParties as possible, trawls through the Internet for new cat/dog videos, or posts tech or feminist-related articles on Twitter or Mastodon. Oh, and she takes pride in her Erdős number, which is 5.
