Remember when we launched PICKLES and shared it here with you on Twitter? Follow the link below for an update on the amazing work we've done this past year in honor of Ned! @picklesgroupcaringbridge.org/visit/nedsm…
It is my honor as Neds wife to share with you a legacy in which Ned and I have worked hard to create with 2 other families. Meet Pickles! A support group for children whose parents are navigating cancer. Please share&support so that more children don’t have to do it alone.
When @NorthwesternU@KelloggSchool professor @ned_smith was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer in 2018 his family knew their kids needed support. Read why Ned and Erin Smith are determined to bring healing to kids like theirs through Pickles

What’s the Twitter length story? Are investors against women in leadership positions? Not really. They only trade that way when they expect other investors are prejudiced. It’s a Keynesian beauty contest case of speculative trading telling us something that isn’t true.
Not unlike #GameStop, but the implications for women in business are very real. Salaries and future opportunities for women executives depend on boards understanding what second order biases are.
Me: I’d love to help with your math homework. Pre-teen son: Sure! (sits next to me). Me: oh my goodness…when did you last shower? Son: fine dad, I guess I’ll just do it by myself. Me: or, maybe, shower? #adventuresinparenting
