Really good piece from @TheEconomist on this important, complex issue: Small investments in nutrition could make the world brainier https://t.co/PNh5x8ZIOG

@niawag1 12. Meskerem was the best.

@NYTGames I solved yesterday’s Wordle, but today it’s showing my streak broken. There was a sign-in error yesterday but it appeared to have gone away after I signed in again…. And yet, no streak. 🥺

Importantly, the #GFPR2023 also emphasizes that empowering women in crisis situations is particularly important, given that they shoulder a disproportionate share of negative consequences. This requires gender-disaggregated data, and specific gender equality targets.

This is the first time in more than a decade that we've had a comprehensive update to the data & evidence on the gender gap in agriculture. Sadly, the news ain't great. https://t.co/wntM8G7Aus

[challiss mcdonough @challiss]

So many important reports out this week. Hugely important update to FAO's flagship SOFA report on gender inequality, the Status of Women in Agrifood Systems. #NowReading https://t.co/sQ7OBzY8jX

Today in unsolicited mail….

[challiss mcdonough @challiss]

@chrisalbon Yeah, that’s what I figure. Still, what a weird thing to have shipped halfway around the world.

[challiss mcdonough @challiss]

Um, so, a small strange white package arrived in the mail, addressed to someone we’ve never heard of at our address, with a return address in Kyrgyzstan. Some kind of hard cylinder inside. Is this happening to anyone else?

[challiss mcdonough @challiss]

I took the mystery package outside to open it. Clearly a bio weapon.

[challiss mcdonough @challiss]

This is weird. Customs label says “toys,” value $0.50.

I do this! It really is amazing how much it helps me focus. Mostly in webinars when I’m listening rather than speaking, but I did knit in an in-person workshop once. Intrigued to note it seemed to help other participants relax & connect w/each other too. https://t.co/djukqUVkSW

@ExDxWxAxRxD Sorry, I don’t understand. What is “too much” garlic?

[challiss mcdonough @challiss]

@lydiakiesling I drink these a lot. Very satisfying.

@LisaDNews Sounded like Diaz-Balart didn’t vote?
