On days when I wonder where to find motivation to keep going, I get an email like this and my being fills with purpose ❤️. Uplift your academic peers. It really maters.

Dr. Elza Ibroscheva retweeted
Half of Mexico’s Congress is female. The cabinet is gender-balanced. And now, women have won the primaries of the two leading political blocs — making it likely that this traditionally macho nation will elect its first female president, ahead of the U.S. wapo.st/3R9sCYQ

Just watched this awesome series on @peacock and I cannot love enough the episode on Bulgaria—real, tender, loving and astute, made me appreciate every minute of Rainn’s fascinating journey to figure out the source of people’s happiness (and also, misery ☺️).
