Pumping milk at JPM was a nightmare. It’s part of a bigger problem in the industry. - Interesting to read that other conferences (such as #HIMSS24) are planning to be better. statnews.com/2024/01/11/jpm… via STAT

Absolutely fascinating statistics on the extent and impact of #microaggressions (e.g. how often judgement is questioned) on women in the workplace in the new McKinsey & Company 2023 Report mck.co/36jKvg0

I ♥️ #trains, and found this 2022 working paper on European 🚆 #travel so fascinating!! But also disappointed by the #dataviz. After collecting so much data and putting thought into analysis it feels like such a shame to fail on that last mile... 🚂🚄🚇op.europa.eu/en/publication…

TIL a new word: pecuniary (relating to, consisting of money) w a really interesting etymology from Latin "pecunia", meaning "wealth in cattle": "Livestock was the measure of wealth in the ancient world, and Rome was essentially a farmer's community." etymonline.com/word/pecuniary

Really awesome to see that the Helmholtz AI #AI conference also offers free #childcare! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 When possible, I'd still opt to leave my daughter at home, but with 2 working parents it's great to at least have the option. 🚸🧪🎓🚸🧪🎓 haicon24.de

I don't usually post abt hotels, but had a really #unique experience staying in a 19th century tower. Absolutely ❤️ the owner's efforts to keep the ambience of the place, incl an original signature by a US soldier liberating the tower in 1945 #hiddenBelgium #OffTheBeatenPath

All aboard the #moon train: #DARPA is trying to figure out how to build a lunar #railroad. Random #funding fact that sounds like #sciencefiction businessinsider.com/darpa-futurist… via @businessinsider

Whoa: Bill & Melinda #GatesFoundation just updated their #OpenAccess policy and will no longer pay for #publishing fees, incl APCs. Really curious to see what impact this will have and if other funders will follow suit. openaccess.gatesfoundation.org

I feel like such a grumpy "things used to be better before" person when I look for recipes on the internet: you never just get the recipe anymore, first you have to scroll through the recipe's history, nutrient information, adaptations... 🧁👩🏻‍🍳🍪

I ❤️ Xmas: our family,from around the 🌎, comes 2gether. We've developed special traditions thru the years& 1 of my fav's is to DIY a ridiculously #extravagant #advent 🗓️ with a serial, family-themed story. This year I used some old Nature's- I think it turned out quite beautiful
