Articles of Note
Huffington Post, January 4, 2016:
A new tool is helping women to stop apologizing needlessly at work -- and it only takes about 10 seconds to use.
Forbes Leadership, January 18, 2016:
Women in Astronomy, January 19, 2016 (from the AWIS newsletter):
Last time, I wrote about confronting a non-friend about his hurtful comments (see part 1) and subsequently recognizing the narcissism behind his behavior. Although I felt (and still feel) confident that ending the relationship was the right decision, for a long time I didn't feel great about how I'd responded during the attack. In fact, I wondered if I could have done better and felt bad that I hadn't known exactly what to say.
As I worked through these feelings, I realized that knowing what to say to someone else wasn't nearly as important as knowing what's going on inside myself - in other words, being mindful. In order to respond to attacks effectively and be happy with my decisions, I needed to resist the immediate urge to focus on them, their behavior, and responding. Instead, I needed to take a step back, recognize my feelings and needs, and focus on how I could act to support myself.
LinkedIn Pulse, January 20, 2016:
We live in a culture of Yes. The common self-help wisdom is that we benefit from seizing opportunities, embracing the unknown, soaring headfirst into the possibilities presented to us. And this is all well and good...
LinkedIn Pulse, January 22, 2016:
Last year, the World Economic Forum released an unsettling report: based on current trends, it would be another 81 years before women achieved economic equality in the workplace.
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, January 25, 2016:
Imagine a world where employers actually believed that career breaks enhanced your employment qualifications. A German program is testing that.
Inside Higher Ed, February 1, 2016:
The impression you give when you first meet people can make or break your career opportunities. Saundra Loffredo provides tips for ensuring the former.

The Last Word
Forward, January 19, 2016:
I read obituaries. I like getting the whole picture about a person's life, to be moved by other people's passions and work. Perhaps it is the sociologist in me, inspired by Margaret Mead, who liked to be inspired by people's real lives. ... Indeed, as I read obituaries, I cannot help but feel the dearth of women. Most days, on the New York Times home page, where there is only room for mention of three obituaries, there are no women at all.
