This month,Cara wrote a storyon how many Indian startups dont hire women to save on maternity costs.
Cue sexist comment:
Wow!
Interesting insight, Kasun.
We sincerely hope all your startup ambitions fail.

For this months thats what she said, were discussing social distancing and shaming.
Many people act like they havent.
Should we cut people slack for being shit at isolation?
Cara:I think people need to use their common sense too.
We know how the virus spreads close contact with other people.
Not to mention how you could be a carrier without having any symptoms.
Its obvious, at any point in the pandemic, to avoid being in groups, exercising or not.
Georgina:I find some of the guidelines here pretty confusing, and hear a lot of mixed messages.
BUT I think exercising in a group close together is fucking stupid.
Cara:Taking their freedom while they can is being exploited though.

This month we askedAlison Wynn, a Research Associate at the Stanford VMware Womens Leadership Innovation Lab.
My advisor and I co-authored a paper, submitted it to a journal, and the journal rejected it.
I worried that maybe the reviewers were right, and maybe we didnt have a real contribution to make.
In the next draft, we need to make the strengths clearer.
Not only did she interpret their feedback differently, but her interpretation suggested an entirely different course of action.
She advised me to focus exclusively on one project and make it great.
I ended up rejecting this advice because Im someone who thrives on having multiple projects going on at once.
It prevents me from wallowing and becoming frozen.
I feel comforted knowing my eggs arent all in the same basket.

on your park-jog selfie.
Maybe your neighbor hissed 1.5 METERS!
when you entered the elevator.
If so, you know who were talking about.
Its that person currently championing quarantine the Social Distance Warrior.
The banner on his back reads: 1.5 meters is more than what you think.
