Children and other diagnosed with pediatric cancer lost this week because of a myriad of political messes, none of which are the fault of kids—- we MUST do better! 119th Congress, let’s get this done!

it's also kinda offensive to people who have worked for years on pediatric cancer research to suggest that they actually were just laying a trap to make Trump look bad for coming out against a CR. it's not all just a game.

@samstein The reason the Gabriella Miller Kids First Act did not pass in the Senate as a stand alone bill until last night is that Senators Paul and Lee had put holds on 2 previous efforts.

We are deeply disappointed to share that Congress cut several @LLSusa-backed policies—which would have benefited children with cancer, families, and seniors—from its end-of-year package. We remain steadfast in our commitment to blood cancer patients and families ♥️

This year, Congress left kids with cancer behind. 23 organizations joined together to urge Congress to prioritize them in January. Children with cancer have waited long enough–it’s time to finish the job. #KidsDeserveBetter Full statement ➡️ msg.lls.org/3BOeIGc

14/ Big takeaway: it’s a mistake to observe equal rates of attrition and believe gender equity has been achieved. Focus instead on the reasons for leaving, which vary by career age, field, and prestige. There’s a lot of work left to do, and climate deserves our attention 🎤

12/ To sum up: - Women faculty universally leave academia at higher rates than men - Effect is stronger for tenured women in non-STEM at lower-prestige schools - BUT regardless of rates, women leave for different reasons - they feel pushed out, esp. by their workplace climates

In academia, a new study finds that early career men often move jobs because they feel 'pulled' towards a better opportunity: but for women, it's the opposite. "Most left because they felt pushed out," as @waterbarnes explains here: science.org/content/articl…

Gifted students may act out in class when they don’t feel challenged by material. Because of this, teachers may label them as problem children or as behavioral concerns.
