We have been told to be "authentic" at work. But your whole self includes undesirable, unprofessional & dark sides of your character. While men may get away w/ being authentic, women are penalized. Instead everyone should bring their "best" selves to work. www.fastcompany.com/91413530/to-...
To create psychological safety, don’t bring your whole self to work
Psychological safety isn't built through unfiltered self-expression.

In 18th/19th century, tie-on pockets for women went away in favor of form-fitting clothes. Women lost autonomy, not being able to take valuables in public & depending on men. They began carrying small bags but still vulnerable w/o full use of their hands. www.bbc.com/culture/arti...
'Girls need to carry things too!': How women's pockets became so controversial
Why do men's clothes have so many pockets, and women's so few? For centuries, the humble pocket has been a flashpoint in the gender divide of fashion. Is that finally set to change?

"Una madre da a luz a hijos de dos especies distintas".

Parece imposible, ¿verdad? ¡Pues agarraos!

Un estudio publicado en Nature sugiere que las reinas de Messor ibericus 🐜 son capaces de producir descendencia de una especie completamente distinta 😱.

Pero... ¿Para qué? 🧵👇
Las reinas de la especie ibérica Messor ibericus pueden dar a luz a ejemplares de su propia especie (izquierda) y, mediante un mecanismo de clonación, a descendencia de una especie distinta (Messor structor, derecha). Créditos de la imagen: Jonathan Romiguier, Yannick Juvé, Laurent Soldati

TLDR -- most cancers do not have microbiomes...but a few do have consistent microbe associations (i.e., colorectal and oral cancers). Make sense!
The landscape of microbial associations in human cancer
Differences between cancer types, infectious disease, and potential prognostic markers are uncovered by studying microbes within cancer DNA.
