I have a message for all the little girls and boys out there who dream of growing up to be superheroes: Superheroes walk among us.
They’re teachers, doctors, scientists, vaccine researchers—and you can grow up to be like them too.
@LucyFitz46 Listening to Ep 201 & my mom was always a science fair judge so she was always there and I remember being so proud that she was the HBIC. But to remain impartial, I had to do all my own projects. Your story about your dad was so sweet!
Women's qualifications are less likely to be mentioned by men.
Study of 300+ intros of MD/PhD presenters:
Men introduced 72% of men as Dr. but only 49% of women as Dr.
Women introduced speakers as Dr. regardless of gender.

Very thankful for people like @AdamMGrant who use their platform and privilege to elevate marginalized people. Also I constantly send his articles to my students because he’s so dang smart!
What’s the worst part of this?
(a) Ignorance that in too many fields, women don’t get the respect they deserve without titles like Dr.
(b) A man who calls a woman “kiddo” having the audacity to offer advice
(c) Equating honorary and actual doctorates
(d) WSJ publishing it
I’m glad we are returning to a country where my LGBTQIA+ friends, my friends of color, my friends that identify as women, my immigrant friends, my Muslim friends, and anyone else who has felt othered or “un-American” will be safe and welcomed and celebrated.
While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last—because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.
