Being Too Helpful At Work Can Hurt Your Careerโ€”Hereโ€™s How To Say No Women are more likely to take on behind-the-scenes duties at workโ€”extra tasks like onboarding or event planningโ€”and it's hurting their careers. Here's how to say no.

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

Spotify has yet again revealed the nationโ€™s listening habits and Vance Joyโ€™s unkillable 2013 hit Riptide is the Australian song we listened to most this year. But why? Australians logging into Spotify this morning may have been surprised โ€“ or perhaps not at all โ€“ to see that a decade-old folk pop song was the nationโ€™s most streamed song by an Australian artist this year.

Reviewing this. I couldnโ€™t put it down. Piller has done a fantastic and diligent job detailing individual instances of fraudulent Alzheimer research, the resulting contamination of our field and the troubling complacency of research leaders about the problem. Landmark book that will make you angry.
