it's happening!✨ (if I ever get my visa) I'll be at @HarvardChanSPH this August for the MPH program in Health and Social Behaviour! Excited to spend the next couple of years thinking, bickering & writing about what it takes to build personal agency, capabilities & resilience.

@HemanthBharatha solid fan club - so glad she’s back at it post -recovery!

@pranavmanie Yeah, as she should? Perfectly rational, no?

In a class right now, and the person next to me is anxiously checking grad cafe every 2 mins. Must be PhD interview season - rooting for her and the rest of y’all in this pit!

Fascinating account of development written so well! Evidence, nuance, uncertainty and some flourish - something for all academics to learn from!

@frances__lorenz I also think that’s it’s more useful to accept a certain kind of wiring - like truly accept it and then figure out how to build alternate paths that may be a better fit for who you are now. Some deep awareness ≠ change

@danielgolliher @Harvard Love what you’re building in New York! Happy to chat when you’re in Boston the next time :) Sending you a DM!

In a cafe in Palo Alto, and I just heard someone go 'prowess in tech' unironically. I don't know how to feel about this place.

@Rajatgarg2109 haha! Ok, that’s a much more helpful suggestion

@96abhishekarora Yeah curious to see how this pans out.

@zaeemal_ "It's complicated, let me tell you that" - works in almost every situation.

This is such an excellent reading list @cblatts! Appreciate you putting this out there.

New Year’s & the next two weeks in San Francisco! If you’re around and want to chat about public health/policy, child protection in LMICs & share general hot takes about the development space, reach out.

@Rajatgarg2109 start 3 new projects and 2 essays on stuff you’ve been meaning to write about. Jk, but also would love to see recs cos I’ve forgotten how to chill.

lol I’m also realizing that what I pick up from podcasts and essays is so intimately tied to deeper questions I’m sitting with, and it’s a signal I should absolutely pay more intentional attention to.

RT @AsiyaWrites: Merry Christmas! 🎄 Here’s the spread at our potluck this year!

@pratikmpawar, favourite first reader - always.
