Not to even mention that he was salutatorian of his high school class and did well academically at Stanford while playing there.

I knew I met my future husband when he said he doesn't like Thin Mints either.

You could still start with low amounts (that you don't have an effect with) and work your way up, but I'm not sure how effective it is with adults. I had a severe, but not deadly allergy, to egg whites as a child. My parents would only let me eat miniscule bites of things with eggs in them and would gradually increase…

One of the things that pissed me off the most is that I mentioned my whole wheat allergy (actual documented skin test for it) to a co-worker, and she flipped out because I eat other grains. As a celiac herself, of course the only thing in wheat that I could possibly be allergic to is gluten despite the fact that I can…

I had to look back at that pic 3x because I couldn't figure out which of the covers had just Tyra.

I may be the only one, but when my brother-in-law (who already has 5 kids) goes on about how he (and not his wife, she's fine with 2 bio kids and 3 step kids) wants another kid, I do want to tell him to just adopt because there are enough people in the world already. However, I would never tell him, or anyone else, to…

True, but it's much easier to research mechanisms in mice (such as allergen-IgG1 complexes passing from the mother to the pups during breast feeding resulting in fewer allergies in the pups) and studies such as this showing similar effects in humans during pregnancy helps to lend a bit of credibility to the…

I'm inclined to believe it though because I've read previous studies in mice that suggest the same thing.

Yes, while I'm white, I have olive-toned skin and dark hair (look like my dad, who has Eastern European heritage) and my sister is pale with blond hair and blue eyes (looks like my mom who has German heritage). We constantly have people telling us that there's no way we are full biological sisters. And I also have a…

And the "hard" sciences, such as Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, are "male-typed" fields.

Here's quantitative data for you: http://scx.sagepub.com/content/35/5/6…

My current boyfriend once (jokingly) tried to tell me how much he "helps (me) out" by cleaning and doing the dishes. I told in him no short terms that 1) he pays rent at our house too so as an adult, house chores are just as much his responsibility as mine and 2) we work the same amount, and make the exact same amount…

I agree. My female PCP took 6 months to convince that I needed an ultrasound when I was having intermittent pain. Lo and behold, by the time I got it done, the cyst on my right ovary was the size of a tennis ball. The female OB/GYN she referred me to wasn't available for another 2 months, so I saw a male OB/GYN in the…

Aren't "conquer lands" and "stand up for the oppressed" typically mutually exclusive?

The fact that myself, and every women I've met, has dealt with sexula harassment in at least one workplace or in public is what certifies Rape Culture exists. Men like you who dismiss all of our experiences as false, whether you are personally harassing someone or not, contribute to this culture.

My doctor told me the pain I was having 6 months ago was "just gas" and sent me home. Now, after a month's worth of doctor's visits and ultrasounds, I finally have an appointment to have the 8.3 cm in diameter cyst removed from my right ovary. And guess what, I have to pay another doctor's visit copay the day before…

At least I'm not the only one who took that away as the sole message of this article. I swear that my cleavage is a black hole.

That's because you are way ahead of us in time zones. That's our google doodle for today.

Oooh... I have anecdata too! Myself, the youngest of 2, did better in school and actually have my life together while my older sister gets to be the "dumb" one. She even got pissed off because I was the first to finish college (I'll have my PhD by the time she gets her bachelor's), and the first to get engaged. Does…

Why do you hypothesize that? I was under the impression that her cancer and early death was due to severe exposure to X-rays (she was an x-ray crystallographer before safety measures were put in place).
