It is my honor as Neds wife to share with you a legacy in which Ned and I have worked hard to create with 2 other families. Meet Pickles! A support group for children whose parents are navigating cancer. Please share&support so that more children don’t have to do it alone.

[Pickles Group @picklesgroup]

When @NorthwesternU @KelloggSchool professor @ned_smith was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer in 2018 his family knew their kids needed support. Read why Ned and Erin Smith are determined to bring healing to kids like theirs through Pickles

@bsw5020 Ha! I once rolled mine down a ramp getting on a train in Germany. Thankfully some strong German arms were there to save me…

My kids put this poster up at the emergency room entrance at the start of the pandemic. Nice to see it still in place after my #gbm resection there last Monday!

My primary oncologist is at Dana Farber in Boston, because he specializes in both my cancer and my treatment plan, which HE helped design. I’m in Chicago. Now I can’t even have a phone call with him. This is life and death for some of us.. https://t.co/TMgarOxfFm

My son just asked my mom if when she was my age they called “old fashions” (the cocktail) “current days”

@betsylevyp My youngest just got a letter back from him (his team) at school. They are sharing it with her on Friday. I got an email from her teacher just now saying I should probably let her know that he did get to read the letter before he died.

Not unlike #GameStop, but the implications for women in business are very real. Salaries and future opportunities for women executives depend on boards understanding what second order biases are.

What’s the Twitter length story? Are investors against women in leadership positions? Not really. They only trade that way when they expect other investors are prejudiced. It’s a Keynesian beauty contest case of speculative trading telling us something that isn’t true.
