That story of the woman who discovered BRCA1 is amazing. I'm glad Joe DiMaggio showed up. But my hero is this man. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/dr-maryclaire-king/brca-marriage-testing_b_17908074.html …pic.twitter.com/RTjIStTrMY

Anyway, job talk, (fortunately incorrect) information that I lost my house back home to fire etc. I was like: sure. The more the merrier! 
Talk went fine—the child was a sweet addition to the room. And I got the job! And house next door had burnt down; mine was damaged but ok.
Later, some faculty said it was a plus for them that I let mom with kid attend my job talk. That's how *I* knew I was with the right people.
Parents almost never impose kids on an academic situation unless without options. That post-doc advisor? Small gesture but changed history.
Structurally, academy still set up for a world mostly of men with stay-at-home wives (who edit or even cowrite their papers without credit).
A study found that new child leave helped young male professors but hurt women. The women spent the year with childcare. Men.. wrote more.
Of course, increasingly, there are single or primary care-taker fathers, too. Need options for all of us.
Anyway, to unleash the next discoverer of the BRCA1 gene, provide childcare support and compassion for parents—esp. single parents. /end
