Only is the Midwest is your polling place the local Chevy dealer. I find it amusing and it’s the reason I like voting in person on Election Day.
I have never had to wait in line at my polling place no matter what time. This morning the line is at least 50 deep.

I’m in South Africa and have been explaining where we live to so many people. Then today someone on our tour had actually been to Nebraska from Norway. Actually, she visited @unmc with others from her university. There were 4 people on this tour so wild to make that connection.
I don't remember a previous year when I was excited about so many of new MacArthur Fellows. Often one, maybe two, but this year there are so many whose work on gender I've used, taught, and recommended. It's so exciting to see this work recognized.

As a descendant of Italian Americans from Rhode Island I’m very excited to see coffee milk in Nebraska. Thanks @dunkindonuts

Was complimented today on how efficiently I completed a medical evaluation/questionnaire. I guess between being sick for two decades and working in medical humanities, I'm an expert in knowing what the questions are looking for.
An important part of mentoring is pointing out to young women that the leadership dynamic they think is “difficult” actually follows the exact patterns and tricks of an abusive partner. Putting that gender studies training to use.

Love the reminder that to achieve equality and diversity you have to look at the details, like policies and training.

Just looked up the history of childhood vaccine recommendations to figure out some updates before travel, because I have no idea where the little card with all that info ended up. You never know how history of medicine will be useful. #histmed
