Medical librarian exploring the world

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Sadly, we still default to granting more respect to men than women.

8 studies: we're >2x as likely to call male politicians, athletes, teachers, and authors by their last names. It matters: surnames signal higher status.

It's long past time to use consistent standards.

@AmericanAir #fail Two hours late in leaving, four gate changes, my AirTag shows my bag at DFW, American’s records indicate that the bag wasn’t loaded on my flight from DFW, and I have to wait until all the bags come up before they will file a lost baggage report. 🤬

@NoetheMatt I've long thought this was a deficit in MLS programs and would love to see more course work on instruction and instructional design.

Interstate Cab Co. drivers at #DFW would rather play on their phone than accept an airline voucher to a nearby hotel. #taxiservices #fail.

[Teresa L Knott @tlknott]

I agree!

Nature does open access

Disappointing to see all but one
@DavidsonMBB coaches failing to wear masks.

[Teresa L Knott @tlknott]

Even worse, it seems like it is the lead flight attendant @AmericanAir

[Teresa L Knott @tlknott]

@AmericanAir disappointing to see a senior flight attendant on #942 wearing a mask below her nose.
