Attending a symposium and they have all the food labeled with allergens. 🥹 Happy to be attending more events, including larger conferences, in which I see this happening. May this trend only continue. ❤️

A very cool bedtime read. Reminding me of 'botgate' on MTurk, I would be curious about how much other researchers have encountered this and in which fields.

✅️ First time at EAWOP complete! While I am now home and jetlagged, I continue to think of the people I met with and the projects I heard about. Energized by knowing what problems and research questions people are pondering, along with how they're examining them and the results they're finding. 😄
A conference badge reads EAWOP with Janice Lam listed as a delegate from Canada.

Every time I post about a topic “no one wants to talk about anymore” like COVID or sexual violence, I’m reminded that people are actually desperate to talk about these issues. The real issue is that they want people to stop trying to convince them not to care about them.

Still thinking about this past weekend, in which I attended #SIOP24. It was my first time at SIOP, and everyone was lovely. Much appreciation for community. 💕 Plus, Chicago is beautiful! I only wish I had more time to explore it. Some photos from mini exploration times:
A beautiful blue dome can be seen in a decorative arched ceiling with a chandelier hanging from it.  Various Chicago buildings, differing in height and style, can be seen bathed in golden light under a blue sky.

Both of these papers show an 'intervention' for men to avoid being seen as less competent or agentic (i.e., important work-related traits) while being an equal partner at home or taking care of their kids .. with that intervention being for men to prove they're committed to work. (3/3)

That competence perceptions increase when a father takes a work call while caring for their children is fascinating - and reminds me of Chaney et al.'s (2019) paper about how husbands who perform domestic labour need to be known to be earning income if wanting to avoid social penalties (2/3)

9/ First, feeling “pushed out” increased with career age for everyone. But women (STEM & non-STEM) were more likely to feel pushed out & less likely to feel pulled towards better jobs, than men, at every career age – gender was the strongest predictor of feeling pushed vs pulled.

6/ But gendered attrition is not distributed uniformly, which is perhaps why smaller-scale studies can be confusing. We find larger gendered rates among: - tenured faculty (esp full profs) - faculty in non-STEM domains - faculty at lower-prestige institutions

4/ First, at every career age, we find that women are more likely to leave than men 👉 gender parity at hiring won’t persist. These empirical rates imply a hypothetical 50-50 cohort would fall to 40% women over 35 yrs — both hiring and retention are critical for achieving parity.
