The latest posts from Motaz, Bisan, Ismail Jood and more Palestinian journalists are heartbreaking. They have lost any hope of surviving. They have done everything they could just to share what's happening with us while trying to survive a genocide. I have no words.

In 1925, #MargaretMead set sail for American Samoa. What she claimed she found there—teenagers free to explore and express their sexuality—instantly captivated her audience in the U.S. But what were her actual motivations? Listen to ep. 2 of SAPIENS now: bit.ly/3FtOuqH

The moral courage and clarity to take this position after losing your parents to Hamas terror is extraordinary, and wholly absent in some of the overheated discussions taking place far away from Gaza

"I'm not crying for my parents - I am crying for those who will lose their lives in this war. We must stop the war." Powerful testimony from @maozinon on @BBCNews - just days after his parents, Bilha and Yakov, were killed by Hamas.

Read this from @matt_barnum, one of the smartest reporters that I've ever had the privilege to work with. "We should not be Pollyannaish about American education at this moment, but we shouldn’t give into fatalism either." chalkbeat.org/2023/10/11/239…
I’ve covered education at Chalkbeat for several years. Here’s what I’ve learned.

I’ve covered education at Chalkbeat for several years. Here’s what I’ve learned.

Education issues are often national, progress in schools is possible, history matters, research doesn’t have all the answers, and parents view schools differently than pundits.

I narrated and produced this episode w @ashraya and I'm so excited to share it. The first female doc in the Dominican Republic was an American woman. Right after the Civil War, she was one of the first Black female MDs in the US, before Jim Crow drove her to practice elsewhere.

See this striking tintype portrait. @NMAAHC, which houses this photo, thinks this is probably Sarah Loguen Fraser, one of the first Black women to earn a medical license in the US. Hear her story in our latest episode. scientificamerican.com/artic… @sciam

Proud to have worked on this episode of @LostWomenofSci -- Dr. Sarah Loguen Fraser, the child of abolitionists, went to medical school during the promise of Reconstruction, and became the first woman licensed to practice medicine in the Dominican Republic.

Hi yes this is a major point I make in The Stolen Year -- we are the only rich nation that lacks the trifecta of paid family leave, childcare subsidy AND social security for children AKA child tax credit, plus we have no universal health care. Schools are it.
