@DrRantAllDay I had my child during my PhD and it was the best decision given my circumstances (also helped I had a working spouse and supportive PhD advisor). You'll never have an irregular work schedule like grad school again. Go for it! Life is too short to have regrets.

@rmc031 My MIL got us one a few years ago and it sat in a box until last year. Now we use it almost every day. Cosori ftw.

This morning, we acted to protect all depositors of the former #SiliconValleyBank of Santa Clara, California. This action will help preserve franchise value for marketing and sale of the closed institution without cost to the taxpayer.

@bethanyshondark @DNewsOpinion I rushed around last week to four stores in Rockville before I could find any children's ibuprofen when my toddler came down with the flu. A guy at Walgreens laughed at me when I asked if they had any. Even Amazon was sold out online at the time. Harris Teeter saved the night.

@Econ_Marshall I know two women who left IWPR over the disfunction in the research division (neither quoted). The stories I heard were just so disappointing. As you rightly note, a lot of think tanks now prioritize PR/Comm over research rigor and the results have been devastating.

@rmc031 Now I do think many falsely equate a mother's ability (parents more generally) to learn and respond to the cues of an infant expressing its needs with some magical ability to accurately assume and preempt what that infant needs in a given moment.

@rmc031 a mechanism through which they can better understand how their caregiving approaches fit into the broader distribution of empathetic caregiving.

[Elissa Cohen @missseliss]

@rmc031 It would make sense then that women without children or who do not want children aren't necessarily going to experience a maternal instinct because their bodies didn't need to adjust to activate that biological duty.

[Elissa Cohen @missseliss]

@rmc031 She falsely conflates Darwinism & Social Darwinism & fails to account for decades of neuro bio & anthro research on the hormonal & physical changes mothers experience. Repression of women != motherly instincts aren't real! Manifestation of those instincts kicks in after a birth.

@shahh_hema @J2dubyas Over 75% of AU econ's doctoral students and ~40% of faculty are female. There's definitely not a dearth of female talent available for recruitment, just likely variation in what the search committees value.
