What does peace actually look like?

🔵 Women at the table.
🔵 Women taking up roles in leadership.
🔵 Women whose safety is non-negotiable.

This #LivingTogetherInPeace day, we’re reminded that peace is only as strong as the women who shape it. 🕊️

[UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 @UNESCO]

Women now outnumber men in higher education globally.

Yet important gaps remain. Women continue to be underrepresented at doctoral level and hold only around one quarter of senior leadership positions in academia.

Progress is real, but achieving equality in leadership, research and decision-making remains essential.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

For the first time, the five-year survival rate for all cancers has reached 70 percent, according to a new report, a trend that reflects the effectiveness of early prevention and detection strategies, and advancements in treatment and care, experts say.

Immune cells are most commonly engineered to kill cancers, but now, scientists have shown the technique makes the gut lining of older mice resemble that of younger mice, raising hopes that the same approach could work in people https://t.co/foENgSzXma

Women earn 77% of what men earn on average for the same job 🌍wide. At this rate, it will take 68yrs to achieve #equalpay. In parts of Africa & Asia the situation is worse: women earn 40% of men’s income. #TimeisNow for equal pay for #equalwork. #UNDP #IWD2018

[Women's Health @WomensHealthMag]

It’s time to talk about the gender pay gap. On average, women make 20% less than men. If current conditions persist, women won’t reach pay equity until 2059 (source: AAUW). On #InternationalWomensDay, and all days going forward, WH stands in support of women in the workplace.

Get out there and exercise, it’s good for you

[New Scientist @newscientist]

Tumour growth is reduced by exercise due to a shift in the body’s metabolism that means muscle cells outcompete cancer cells in the race to get sugar to grow https://t.co/sZHjuRjgwO

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 - for the first time since records began in 1982.

This is what happens when a country commits to HPV vaccination and screening. We protect our girls and save lives.

Too many mediocre men talk over capable women.

Study of problem-solving teams: Men dominate the conversation, taking 50% more turns and saying 69% more than women. Men with low skill speak more than women with high skill.

It's long past time to value competence over confidence.

[Nicholas Fabiano, MD @NTFabiano]

In 1992 Peter Ratcliffe received this rejection letter from Nature.

His findings were not "a sufficient advance in our understanding".

27 years later he won the Nobel Prize for the same discovery.

Don't lose faith in the things you believe in.

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

There are four broad reasons to hold meetings: to influence others, to make decisions, to solve problems, or to strengthen relationships. These are all active processes, so passive participation in meetings doesn't really work. https://t.co/h9W3niYKj9
