18. There’s no good way to write stuff. There is only the way you figure out that you can do reliably without going nuts. Whatever that is, do that. The most important thing if you want to write is to keep going.

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

Women are more likely to take on behind-the-scenes duties at work—extra tasks like onboarding or event planning—and it's hurting their careers. Here's how to say no.

Realizing I'm a broken record w/ this comparison, but the Israelis did this in 1980s Lebanon too. Put some local criminal & his buddies in uniforms, gave them guns, & let them run around terrorizing the Palestinian population & aid workers. In Saida, they were called the Palestinian National Guard.

Important thread!
Hey academics, do you have recommendations for books that assist with dissertation advising? I found ones for doctoral students but I want to improve my skills in guiding them through it. Thank you! #academicsky #phdchat

Having recently started working on Baltic Sea region security, I was grateful for the opportunity to spend a few days by the sea itself as part of a research colloquium organised by Professor Margit Bussmann on Hiddensee island. Thanks to all participants for the feedback and great discussions! 💙

"The IPC’s results, published in summary form on 12 May, estimated that 925,000 Gazans (44 per cent) were already experiencing ‘emergency’ acute food insecurity – close to the starvation threshold. A further 244,000 (12 per cent) were in ‘catastrophe’, meaning they had fallen below that threshold."
‘Adults are going hungrier to keep children better fed. The most vulnerable – infants, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and others needing special diets – are already starving.’

There's strong evidence that women's participation in security efforts makes countries safer.

That's why leaders in over 100 countries have taken action to further it.

One of them—who signed the U.S. Women, Peace & Security Act into law in 2017—was Donald Trump.
