Gender equality is a moral and a business imperative. But unconscious bias holds us back, and de-biasing people's minds has proven to be difficult and expensive. By de-biasing organizations instead of individuals, we can make smart changes that have big impacts. Presenting research-based solutions, Iris Bohnet hands us the tools we need to move the needle in classrooms and boardrooms, in hiring and promotion, benefiting businesses, governments, and the lives of millions.

Part adventure, part novel of ideas, part spiritual autobiography, The Songlines is one of Bruce Chatwin's most famous books. Set in the desolate lands of the Australian Outback, it tells the story of Chatwin's search for the source and meaning of the ancient dreaming tracks of the Aborigines--the labyrinth of invisible pathways by which their ancestors sang the world into existence. This singular book, which was a New York Times bestseller when it was published in 1987, engages all of Chatwin's lifelong passions, including his obsession with travel, his interest in the nomadic way of life, and his hunger to understand man's origins and nature.

Why does everyone have a jumble of crappy coronavirus signs up everywhere?
I’m waiting for the permanent neon signs for coronavirus to start appearing.
I’m in the neighborhood, so I naturally have to stop in for a minute to get fresh flour tortillas and some pan dulces. Their pan dulces are now pre-bagged as the result of the pandemic, so one doesn’t have the freedom of selection that they used to have.
This is a curious way to collect books. I’m curious who’s behind the effort. Maybe a place to get rid of Little Free Library back stock?
Picking up a big pile of books on birds for some memory research.
I’m so infrequently in this neighborhood and most of the others have disappeared, so I’m indulging a bit while running errands.
I'm at a crossroads. Now that the book is out (And a HUGE thanks to everyone for their support, truly, I love you all) I wonder:

Is a personal website worth it? Maintenance? Cost? Does it enhance one's public profile?
Please respond and share. I'd love a wide array of opinions
I contribute to a wiki and a community that looks at some of the why and how questions which you might appreciate.
There are also many academics and researchers who are in the space which may give you some examples. Some are talking about the space under the moniker of A Domain of One’s Own or the hashtag #DoOO. The project name is a direct reference to Virginia Woolf’s essay A Room of One’s Own (1929) in which she writes:
“A woman must have money, and a room of her own, if she is to write fiction.”
If you want to immerse yourself, we’re having a free online conference this weekend that will help you explore the idea and even begin starting down the road if you like. In fact, the conference is hosted BarCamp-style, so I heartily recommend you attend and suggest your exact question as a session for discussion and brainstorming! If you’d like there are a bunch of volunteers that can help you get something started on the second day.
Personally, I really love WordPress.org infrastructure which I recommend running on Reclaim Hosting (they focus on universities, colleges, and academics) which will get you up and running with a domain name (usually about $10/year depending on what you choose) and hosting for $30/year. They have excellent support and you’ll find some of the smartest and most ethical technologists in academia in their fora. I use my own website as a research notebook cum commonplace book.
I’ve got some time between now and the end of the year if you need some volunteer technical help, I can assist you in getting over some of the technical hurdle to get something up and running and using it if you like.
