    This is sadly not surprising. In college I worked at Victoria’s Secret during a holiday break. We had to call the manager “proprietress” according to company policy. Other standards & guidelines showed the misogyny at the core of the company. Never bought anything from them again

    I suspect more advisors are open to this as well. There could be misperceived norms at work. So I ask advisors to find ways to let their students know it’s OK to explore other careers.

    I’m proud of what I’ve done outside academia. My advisors are also proud. One wells up with tears every time I see him letting me know that.

    When PhDs ask me for advice about non-academic careers, I’m often asked to keep it confidential as they don’t want their advisor to know they are considering other options. I hope that we can start being more open about careers.

    Something I’ve learned working with youth in many different contexts is that you can’t aim for something that you don’t know about. There is very little mentoring for PhDs who want to go outside of academia. This is partially due to exposure. It’s also due to shame.

    2) Understand & use data. In development there’s tons of data collected—assessments, monitoring & evaluation—much of it not designed or used well. 3) Build arguments with evidence for program & policy design. Very important in proposal writing.

    When I was looking for jobs outside of academia, I didn’t know what “transferable” skills I learned during my PhD. Now when I give advice to others, here is what I say. 1) An ability to synthesize huge amounts of information: literature & data.

    Yes! I have many thoughts on this as someone who just returned to academia after a 13 year hiatus. For the majority of my non-academic career, I was doing program design, not research. I brought theory and evidence to those designs, which helped me be very successful.

    A story that is not getting nearly enough attention, and shows the limits of the international system at the moment: clear violations of international law by the Russians and Syrians, yet little is being done:

    Question: Does anyone know of studies examining how social media affects norms? Thanks in advance!

    A thread on new proposed changes in the U.S. I visited the yesterday. Instantaneously thought about how much the immigrant struggle—then and now—is alike(only rather than Germans, Italians & Eastern Europeans, it’s mostly Hispanics, Asians & Africans)

    He died 2 years later. When he found out he was terminal, literally the first thing he said was, “Rebecca, this is how you take care of the tickets.” Thank you for giving me that last perfect game with him.
