Thank you

It’s a shame that something intended to be 100% in agreement isn’t.
It illustrates that some women claim to support women’s rights*
*Except when it comes to Jewish and Israeli women.

Dear

speakers: please stop saying things like "I'm sure everyone here knows this". No, we don't all know this, and phrases like this are not helpful for some of us who already feel like impostors.

There's a good reason you don't see Palestinian "soldiers" on the street of Gaza. That's because they are either hiding in their tunnels or some living their best life NOT in Gaza. You only see the civilians that they use as human shields. Hamas is using Palestinian civilians

Seriously asking: how do you suggest Israel should react? None of us wants innocent civilians dying, on any side. Should Israel just not do anything? You know very well that HAMAS purposely hides, launches missiles and has armories among civilians

My work with
@sashankpisupati
and
@anne_churchland
is out! We found that lapses in decision making are not a nuisance, but actually reflect a strategic exploration/exploitation trade-off.
Ever botched an easy decision? Our cake explains why. Turns out lapses aren't inattention, but reflect a strategic exploration/exploitation trade-off. Model also explains puzzling results many have seen following inactivation of frontal/striatal areas.

I always give this advice to other women, but rarely follow it myself.
Hopefully 2019 will be the year I start applying even if I'm not qualified 😬
Dear women, APPLY FOR ANYTHING THAT SOUNDS INTERESTING even if you're not qualified.
Why? Because men are applying for things they don't qualify for. Don't put yourself at a disadvantage.

Lastly, don't wait until you're over 45 to get a colonoscopy! 11% of colon cancer and 18% of rectal cancer diagnoses occur in those under 50.
Also, listen to your body. We ignored some signs for over 6 months because he's young and healthy - what can possibly be wrong?!
