Maybe, just maybe, don't treat women in your profession, especially women in a mentor/protege or supervisor/employee relationship, as part of your potential dating pool?
If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

News organizations are starting to call the New Jersey governor's race for Mikie Sherrill, and she recently called out one of my books as a recommendation, I'm not saying that recommending my books will nab you a governorship, but I am saying that the batting record so far is 1.000

It's weird that I have two friends running for local office in New Jersey (and know the candidates in my town's race).

Yes.
WOW! They called it! Mikie Sherrill wins New Jersey gubernatorial!

I'm just watching last week's "Saturday Night Live"and feeling a bit psychic.
I'm sure it seemed better than a Native American name when they picked it, and it refers to a big cat, but maybe a sports team named the "Predators" fails to meet the current moment?

I might need to read "The Great Gatsby" again. In high school I didn't realize it's apparently a satire?

Is there any state NOT running elections today? Doesn't everyone have some local office that's up for election in an off year? Some ballot question? Special election?

I think these teams are fairly well matched.

I signed up for 5 different vendor parties at #edu25 next week. I know I will make at least 2 of them.
