When we asked over 200 diversity and inclusion (D&I) professionals at a recent event about their biggest worry over the next five years, the top answer was backlash against their efforts. https://t.co/WgEdYFGR83

@doctorwhy It was about 10 months or so straight of living in that state until that effect faded. The death rate stats on Cipro don't account for the high suicide rate during the first year after taking it. I wonder what it must be like for somebody whose baseline is more like yours.

@doctorwhy Even w/ complex PTSD & the type of history one must have for cptsd, no... until I ended up w/ fluoroquinolone toxicity from Cipro. I remember feeling such emotional pain, thinking that I needed a break - like an induced coma. Then it hit me: omg this is what suicidal is like!

"Of all of philosophy’s achievements, perhaps the greatest one is just sticking around in the face of the fact that, from day one, anyone who has plumbed the depths of our ambitions has either joined us or… tried to silence, stop or kill us." #philosophy https://t.co/KOQ5WGzW4z

Divergent thinking and creativity tend to go hand in hand. Thinking differently isn’t a bad thing!

This is a thought-provoking yet easy-to-read piece. Discusses value of positive #psychology while avoiding doing more harm than good. For me, it raises philosophical Qs re: pursuit of #happiness as the ultimate goal in life, & what it means to "be happy." #philosophy #perspective https://t.co/QYbgvN6F7D

Few of us enjoy asking for help. As neuroscience research shows, the social threats involved—the uncertainty, risk of rejection, potential for diminished status, and inherent relinquishing of autonomy—activate the same brain regions as physical pain. https://t.co/oDS2vEjohH

Babies are born with at least one form of #synesthesia & synaptic pruning eliminates it by about 8 months... for most people.

@NAGCGIFTED @MrBolding Children of color are not identified & are underrepresented because we fail to take into account language, cultural nuances & lack of access. Educators must see past barriers and tap into the brilliance of every child. #giftedmom #giftedchild #Equity https://t.co/8CmVphH2kB
