New paper out in JIE🎉 Working across time zones is the norm for many jobs. But it has gendered health effects. More late-night/off-hour work → higher antidepressant use among women vs men; esp. younger, college-educated and single mothers. Thanks @askernc.bsky.social @jrmunch.bsky.social & Beata!

I got an unsolicited e-mail from a stranger complimenting something I'd written. When I thanked him for taking the time to reach out, he replied that he'd been motivated by something he'd recently heard: "Keeping a good thing to yourself is as bad as saying a bad thing." Amen.
