So very true in our world as well. I don't think our #NICU families have any reason to care how much we know until they know how much we care

1/2 Pet peeve: Ineffectual institution-led panels about increasing representation in STEM. This is not rocket science. e.g. How to increase women in STEM: Hire at *least* 50% women. Fire abusive men. Listen to women in the field. Provide the solutions requested. #phdchat #ecrchat
