Thank you for this link!!! I wish more areas of study would look beyond US borders to see how others are tackling universal challenges.

I've talked with my daughter about this, and the importance of connecting with her female professors and classmates, but I know from experience chances go up as class sizes get smaller. So far so good, undergrad in physics, plans of PhD, but I worry. :-(

How to know you're connected to your kid: in the '90s, I got a postcard of the little blue guy in Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum. Fast forward 25 years and my daughter shows up with a plush version from the Louvre 🥹
(Vienna has since expanded its gift shop so of course I had to get two!)

Hello! It is well indeed -- one in college (physics), one hs senior (jazz guitar + physics), and a solo estate-planning practice with great clients. Likewise hoping for all the good things on your end! Your cats are fabulous little muffins.

And if you try to explain, you might (hypothetically!) receive an eye-roll followed by "mama, I hate to say this, but you're... not of this generation. We grow up with this, don't worry, we can tell what's not real."

So my mom's memories of '60s Poland where there was no crime and the streets were safe might... be based on a darker truth?

Completely on the opposite coast, went to Trader Joe's right after the news broke and instead of the intended bags of frozen veggies I emerged with chocolate-covered figs, mint hot cocoa, Italian hazelnut pralines, and two felt garlands. It feels so hopeful.
