SPELKE: ...Study after study has documented gender discrimination in every aspect of academic life. The same academic paper, submitted to a set of journals, has been found to fare very differently when the unknown, fictitious author was given a male versus a female name: with a female name, the paper was distinctly more likely to be rejected. To receive a postdoctoral fellowship, in one Swedish study, an applicant needed to publish 2.5 times as many papers if she was a woman. One of the biggest effects in the research of another Harvard colleague, [Cabot Professor of Social Ethics] Mahzarin Banaji...
...Francis Xavier questions his importance, claiming he was a failure as an explorer and as an adventurer, but this is misleading [Dec. 13]. St. Francis Xavier was first and foremost a missionary.

What I do understand is that my grandmother, Edja, and her friends feel that their lives now are so drastically different than the ones they led in the not-so-distant past that they are emotionally irreconcilable. And the most resonant aspect of that reality, on a daily basis, is the loneliness of losing the lives they had with their parents, families, partners and children. As a 21-year-old college student who comes to Florida once yearly, I am expected to run to the beach, tan by the pool and generally kick back my polished feet and relax. Instead...
