I returned to research after 22 years. Interruptions don't have to last forever
|
|
Science
|
|
The two emails arrived the same early April day. One informed me that I had secured a $3,000 grant. Although the dollar value was small, it was a big step toward restarting my research career after a 22-year hiatus. The second email announced that my college had canceled in-person student research for the coming summer because of COVID-19. My newly relaunched research program had abruptly crashed back to Earth.

Scientist reflects on the joys and challenges of being a Black nature lover

University of Colorado Boulder

In May 2020, Christian Cooper, a Black bird watcher, was strolling through Central Park in New York City when he ran into a white woman walking her dog off-leash. The encounter ended with the woman calling the police on Cooper, claiming falsely that he had threatened her life. Now known as the “Central Park birdwatching incident,” the event ignited a national discussion about whether Black people, and other people of color, are welcome in natural areas.

In May 1886, Margaret Danley Stetter gave birth to a child in a shelter dug into a hill in Western Nebraska. She came from a long line of homesteaders, who tried to tame the prairie into farmland, some with more success than others. Her husband, John, was away earning his living as a cowboy and it took several telegrams to finally persuade him to come home to meet his first-born daughter, Leta.

How to reimagine the 2nd half of your career
|
|
Harvard Business Review
|
|
Jeff Gothelf writes: When I graduated from college in 1995, the last thing I imagined being was a manager in UX design, which was a relatively young field where we ensured the customers and users of our websites, apps, and software could easily use and enjoy these services. My dream was to be a professional musician — a rock star — and I pursued that goal for several years.

In 1956, Rita Colwell was walking with her fiancé across the campus of Purdue University when she spotted Henry Koffler, an eminent biologist. She had just earned a bachelor’s in bacteriology at the university, and she told the renowned professor that she planned to postpone medical school and secure a graduate fellowship at Purdue while she waited for her partner to finish his master’s in chemistry.
