Women are as innovative as men, but the risks are higher because women aren't guaranteed that creativity will be well received. They must have psychological safety, which requires minimizing the costs associated with taking intellectual risks.@josiecox.bsky.social www.fastcompany.com/91573368/for...

For women, being creative at work comes with a hidden cost
Thinking innovatively is crucial in the AI era. Historically women have been penalized for doing so.

Are you curious about the academic impact of school spending? 🤔 Check out the policy brief written by @emilyrauscher.bsky.social et al. based on their recent publication in SOE. This study finds school spending improves student achievement, especially for math. #TranslatingResearch #PolicyBrief

So glad we're spending $16.5 billion a day killing people and destroying the global economy instead of spending on education, which improves individual lives, reduces child mortality, and improves communities and connectedness.

It's day 13 of the shutdown. What's Trump doing?   Negotiating a budget deal? No.   Preventing premiums from doubling? No.   Stopping 15 million Americans from losing health care? No.   He's meeting the Pres. of Argentina to reward him with a $20 billion bailout.   America first?

Mr. President. Stop breaking the law.  The shutdown does not give you the right to fire thousands of hard working federal employees. Instead of giving huge tax breaks to your billionaire friends, show some respect for the struggling working families of our country.

Women receive more than 3x more service requests at work than men. AND colleagues view them more negatively if they say no. More than forcing victims to say "no", orgs need to compensate equally for actual work and ensure equal service requests.
