The latest posts from Motaz, Bisan, Ismail Jood and more Palestinian journalists are heartbreaking. They have lost any hope of surviving.
They have done everything they could just to share what's happening with us while trying to survive a genocide. I have no words.

In 1925, #MargaretMead set sail for American Samoa. What she claimed she found there—teenagers free to explore and express their sexuality—instantly captivated her audience in the U.S. But what were her actual motivations?

The moral courage and clarity to take this position after losing your parents to Hamas terror is extraordinary, and wholly absent in some of the overheated discussions taking place far away from Gaza

Literally jumping up and down in the street on my lunch walk for @ashleyjamesart!!

I’ll spare you the college Facebook photos circa 2005, but she is one of the people I’ve known and admired longest in my life and her brilliance is unmatched. So happy the world gets to see it!!!

Read this from @matt_barnum, one of the smartest reporters that I've ever had the privilege to work with.

"We should not be Pollyannaish about American education at this moment, but we shouldn’t give into fatalism either."

In 1928, Margaret Mead, at just 27, shaped anthropology with Coming of Age in Samoa. But were her Samoan findings accurate?

I narrated and produced this episode w @ashraya and I'm so excited to share it.

The first female doc in the Dominican Republic was an American woman. Right after the Civil War, she was one of the first Black female MDs in the US, before Jim Crow drove her to practice elsewhere.

[ashraya @ashraya]

Proud to have worked on this episode of @LostWomenofSci -- Dr. Sarah Loguen Fraser, the child of abolitionists, went to medical school during the promise of Reconstruction, and became the first woman licensed to practice medicine in the Dominican Republic.

[Lost Women of Science @LostWomenofSci]

See this striking tintype portrait. @NMAAHC, which houses this photo, thinks this is probably Sarah Loguen Fraser, one of the first Black women to earn a medical license in the US. Hear her story in our latest episode.

Hi yes this is a major point I make in The Stolen Year -- we are the only rich nation that lacks the trifecta of paid family leave, childcare subsidy AND social security for children AKA child tax credit, plus we have no universal health care. Schools are it.
