Over the last about 6 years I have adopted the practice of not checking email AT ALL on vacation.

When I mention this, many scoff and say that would never work for them.

I said the same thing when I started.

Join me for a 🧵 about my journey to vacation email freedom.

Data suggest that US female scientists, in particular early-career faculty who received their PhD 5-10 years prior, have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic - much bigger drop in grant submissions than for males.

Yesterday I heard a renowned Buddhist teacher speak about being in the hospital for serious heart surgery. During his 2 week stay, many dear friends––all Buddhist teachers––visited him. He described how well-meaning, but ultimately useless, their spiritual advice was to him.

@grace_mac @DollyParton Do you know about @ImaginationLib that’s hers too? I didn’t know until I became a parent. I feel like each year I learn more and more about how lovely she is.

Absolutely hate how useful this is right now.

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

With so many frightening images in the news right now, it's best to keep young children away from repetitive graphic images. Parents should filter information about the crisis and present it in a way that their children can understand. These tips can help: https://t.co/g9yByI0mUQ

A lovey thread of a lived experience for a person with a disability and how parents can respond when little ones ask about differences in public. ♥️👏🏼

[Aimee W. Smith, PhD @AimeeWSmith]

@ariafiat Bridging that gap is a lot of what we’re trying to do in the Pediatric School Psychology program @ECUPsychology . The need is so great, but there are definitely barriers!

[Aimee W. Smith, PhD @AimeeWSmith]

@grace_mac Ok so the twist at the end saved this one for me. Otherwise I felt it was a well funded high school play.
