Articles of Note
Harvard Business Review, June 24, 2016:
As constant travelers and parents of a 2-year-old, we sometimes fantasize about how much work we can do when one of us gets on a plane, undistracted by phones, friends, and Finding Nemo. We race to get all our ground work done: packing, going through TSA, doing a last-minute work call, calling each other, then boarding the plane. Then, when we try to have that amazing work session in flight, we get nothing done. Even worse, after refreshing our email or reading the same studies over and over, we are too exhausted when we land to soldier on with the emails that have inevitably still piled up.
Science, November 15, 2016:
Sorry guys-this time it's women only. That's the message the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) here has for male researchers during two special elections. In order to reduce its perpetual gender imbalance-87% of its 556 members are men-the academy seeks to recruit 10 new members in 2017 and six more in 2018, all female.
Fast Company Leadership, December 1, 2018:
Yes, your words matter-just not as much as you think.
Inside Higher Ed Daily Update, December 1, 2016:
New study suggests that training for department chairs is woefully inadequate at most institutions.
Harvard Business Review, December 5, 2016:
Last year, Nobel scientist, Tim Hunt remarked that he had trouble working with "girls" because "three things happen when they are in the lab; you fall in love with them, they fall in love with you, and when you criticize them, they cry." After being widely criticized in the media, he responded that he was just trying to be honest and meant no harm. [Note: This is good for both men and women. Women can read it to understand men better; and then pass it on to a mentoring man!]
Harvard Business Review, December 5, 2016:
There's one debilitating behavior that most of us fall victim to with great regularity: listening to critical voices in our heads. Whether they originate from external criticism or our own fears and doubts, these negative voices tell us we're not good enough, kind enough, or productive enough. Research shows that echoing negative thoughts inside our heads increases our chances of depression, isolates us from others, and inhibits us from pursuing goals.
Inside Higher Ed, December 7, 2016:
Becoming a department chair is difficult under the best of circumstances, but even more so during a tumultuous political moment. Kerry Ann Rockquemore offers some strategies for moving forward.
Fast Company Leadership, December 10, 2016:
Our emotions help us make decisions. Great communicators know that-without exploiting it.
Chronicle of Higher Education, December 14, 2016:
A former president of Barnard College who now directs the Teagle Foundation, the author has seen meetings from both sides of the table.

The Last Word
AAMC CFAS News, December 13, 2016:
And finally, just in time for that harrowing period when your waistline is laid to waste between Thanksgiving and New Year's, comes word from the CDC that not only are more Americans overweight than ever before, but self-image about it is increasingly skewed. The Washington Post reported that people who are overweight are less likely to view themselves as such. In 1990, about 56 percent of Americans were overweight or obese, and just under 50 percent admitted it. "Today, 7 in 10 Americans are obese or overweight, but only 36 percent think they have a weight problem," according to the article. Something to think about at the cookie table during holiday party season...
