@poppy_haze There’s a radio lab episode where a scientist who studied bird patterns applied the same metric to children.
Results were wild - a 10 year old in the 70s had like 2 miles of area he would travel without adults (bikes) and a 10 year old today has like 200 ft of autonomous space.
On a certain type of man who wants not just to mansplain, but to stuff our mouths full of their words and make us echo them. This is a form of silencing. https://t.co/pxnXyvsTxu
608 PhD students were studied during their first year of grad school.
