Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

New email to NIH Director Bhattacharya...
Dear Director Bhattacharya:  I read with interest the recent Washington Post story "Vought pushes for scrutiny of NIH grants in Oval Office clash" (https://wapo.st/3UPK3BP). The article states:
"Jay Bhattacharya, director of the $47 billion health agency, which is the nation’s largest single funder of biomedical research, defended the NIH’s grant-making process, the people said."
It seems that OMB Director Vought has an even broader definition of "ideological boondoggle" than you do.

While I remain deeply skeptical, I am pleased to see that you may be seeing how the attempts to politicize NIH (to which you have previously contributed) are damaging to the NIH mission. If this is truly the case, then welcome to the resistance.

Sincerely, 

Jeremy M. Berg
Director, NIGMS 2003-2011

P.S. It may be that you are now a victim of the "leopard biting face" story. If that is the case, perhaps you can take some comfort in the fact that your new NIDCR director has experience with leopard-induced injuries although he appears to lack all other qualifications appropriate for an NIH institute director.

did bluesky hear about Miss Teen Indiana’s Garfield costume
A young woman in a Garfield inspired outfit with a Garfield headdressThe young woman from the first photo is holding a lasagna that says “lasagna my love language”missinteenusa Tonight, Indiana is going Garfield!
My state costume celebrates one of Indiana's most iconic creations-Garfield, created by fellow Hoosier Jim Davis.
Born in Marion and raised in Fairmount, Davis turned an orange cat with a big personality into a character recognized and loved around the world.
But this costume represents more than a famous Hoosier.
The hand-painted comic panels on my skirt share messages inspired by my initiative, Captivating Confidence:
"Our differences are what make us beautiful."
"If we don't have love, we have nothing."
"Outer beauty attracts, but inner beauty captivates."
To me, true confidence is found in embracing what makes each of us different and recognizing that our greatest beauty comes from within. I am so excited to bring a little Hoosier humor, creativity and confidence to the Miss Teen USA stage tonight!
This one-of-a-kind costume was inspired by my vision and brought to life by Indianapolis-based costume designer, Jess West. @jesswestcostumes
