Guess Who Finally Cares About Workplace Flexibility? Men
After two generations of paid-leave policy driven by gender equality and pregnancy, the conversation is expanding. Flex schedules are becoming a top-priority perk for office workers of all ages, family situations, and genders. Oh, let's just say it: men.

How Female Leaders Should Handle Double-Standards
IMF head Christine Lagarde tells a story about a woman leader she met who took over at a tough moment in her country's history and resolved to be different. They had to cut the deficit and she wanted to set standards by personal example. When she travelled around the country, she took a small entourage of five cars. But the women she met in the villages asked her why only five cars when the men before her travelled with twenty-five. Stereotypes have been set and cast in stone, explained Lagarde, making women feel they have to act like men to be heard. "Keep your five cars," Lagarde advised her, "dare the difference. Sometimes our five cars are better than their twenty-five."

The Last Word
AAMC CAS-Chairs, February 4, 2013:
An interesting article in The Atlantic asks, "Is the Lecture Dead?" Dr. Richard Gunderman, vice-chair of the Radiology Department at Indiana University School of Medicine, contends that "Education isn't just about conveying information as efficiently as possible. A lecture, done right, gets to the heart of why a lesson is worth learning." He concludes, "...widespread reports of the lecture's demise are somewhat exaggerated."
