New study on common gender gap myths
Really interesting study from the Harvard Business Review, clearing the light on the need for sponsors though mentors are still relevant. Women are also losing out the moment they start out on their careers.
I have come to Australia to see what a global-warming future holds for this most vulnerable of nations, and Mother Nature has been happy to oblige: Over the course of just a few weeks, the continent has been hit by a record heat wave, a crippling drought, bush fires, floods that swamped an area the size of France and Germany combined, even a plague of locusts. “In many ways, it is a disaster of biblical proportions,” Andrew Fraser, the Queensland state treasurer, told reporters. He was talking about the floods in his region, but the sense that Australia – which maintains one of the highest per-capita carbon footprints on the planet – has summoned up the wrath of the climate gods is everywhere. “Australia is the canary in the coal mine,” says David Karoly, a top climate researcher at the University of Melbourne. “What is happening in Australia now is similar to what we can expect to see in other places in the future.”
A very very short excerpt that does not do the article justice at all. Its interesting to read the comments made by Australians, outraged at this American journalist “coming down to tell us what’s wrong with our country!” By no means is the Rolling Stones a climate journal, but the strong reactions reflect the kind of atmosphere seen in anti Carbon Tax protests recently.
