Liz Magill has resigned as @Penn president. I appreciate her taking the right course of action today. No matter what title you have, once you’ve lost the trust of your followers, you can no longer be a leader.

The best cure for loneliness is not more frequent interaction. It's more meaningful interaction. Many people enjoy solitude. They can spend up to ~75% of their time alone without feeling isolated. What matters most for well-being is the quality of connections, not the quantity.

Personality types are a myth. Each trait exists on a continuum shaped like a bell curve. The MBTI is outdated. You're more likely to be an ambivert than an introvert or extravert. And you don't have to choose between being a thinker or a feeler. adamgrant.substack.com/p/mbt…

cw: pregnancy loss I live in Alabama, a state with a total abortion ban, and was so overjoyed when I found out I was pregnant last month. I’ve been doing everything right. Stopped caffeine, took my prenatal vitamins, followed every rec. But I started bleeding on Tuesday.🧵

More than 338,000 students have experienced gun violence at school since Columbine. According to @washingtonpost data, there have been 366 school shootings since 1999 with the most recent 11 days ago. We must do more to #EndGunViolence and #ProtectOurKids. washingtonpost.com/education…

A little late but we are nearing the book portion in my @hgse PhD seminar. And let’s just say, I’m excited. I chose books published in the last two years for the two halves of the course. Great way to talk about innovating in a crowded field.

Fu@k. I had no idea.
THREAD. The book IBM and the Holocaust by Edwin Black is one of the best and most important books I've ever read. Everyone should read it, especially anyone working in tech, journalism, or law. A few things about it are astonishing.

New preprint led by @Mira_Nencheva w/ @ErikNook, me, Casey Lew-Williams, & @DianaTamir! Mira shows how children develop increasingly adult-like emotion dynamics (e.g., transitions organized by valence) in 1st 5 years of life & that this is correlated with expanding emotion vocab!
