Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions – rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope other institutions follow suit.
“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” - President Alan Garber hrvd.me/GarberRespond347t

Not all criticism is constructive. Not all critics are thinking critically.
Weak critiques attack your identity. Decent critiques challenge your ideas. Strong critiques sharpen your thinking and improve your ideas.
Listen closely to the people who care enough to help you grow.

In school, time pressure on tests favors the fastest sprinters. But in life, success is a marathon.
The students with the greatest potential aren’t always the ones who rapidly spit out the right answers.
They’re often the ones who take the time to ask the right questions.

With false claims, debunking is less effective than prebunking.
25 studies: rebuttals and fact checks don't do much to change minds. We're better off training people to spot flaws in logic and data.
The most important part of education is teaching critical thinking skills.

Instead of telling kids not to play video games, adults should play too.
Compared to kids who don’t play, those who play 3 hrs/day have better working memory & impulse control. Experiments show cognitive benefits for adults too.
Video games are a form of exercise for the brain.

Women - do not, I repeat, do not over-wait on applying for promotion. You are qualified, probably more qualified than any men you work with. I cannot stress enough how I see numerous women's CVs and wonder why they are only applying now when they should have done it years ago. 2/
