If you’ve ever listened to a radio talk show, or even a spoof of one, you’ve heard a caller identify himself or herself as “long-time listener, first-time caller.” When I get email asking for career information, I can generally tell which ones are from regular readers, or at least those who have read an article or two, and which ones are from writers who haven’t bothered to read any at all. The readers have some knowledge of the topic about which they are inquiring. They usually want me to provide some additional information or clarify something I wrote.

When the Food Network launched in 1993, detractors were quick to point out that the U.S. television audience was going to quickly tire of all-food, all-the-time. Not only were the nay-sayers off the mark, the American appetite for food-centric programming has only grown, and on May 31, 2010, the Food Network will launch a new,

Tomorrow is National Equal Pay Day , organized by the National Committee on Pay Equity “to raise awareness about unfair pay for women and people of color in America.” As to why it is celebrated on a Tuesday in April, the National Committee on Pay Equity Web site explains that “Equal Pay Day is observed in April to indicate how far into each year a woman must work to earn as much as a man earned in the previous year. Tuesday symbolizes the day when women’s wages catch up to men’s wages from the previous week.” In 2007, the American Association of University Women (AAUW) Educational Foundation released Behind the Pay Gap , a research report that showed women out of college for one year already earned less than their male counterparts and that this gap widened ten years after graduation. The report compared salaries of men and women working in the same field and addressed issues that might affect this pay differential, i.e., occupation, hours worked and parenthood, and found that “one quarter of the pay gap remains unexplained and is likely due to sex discrimination.” In addition to the pay inequity, Behind the Gap also showed that ten years after graduation, college educated men are given more authority at work than women with the same education.

Being a somewhat shy person, networking has never been something I can easily do. Reaching out to people with whom I have an established relationship isn’t a problem, but it’s much harder for me to make contact with those with whom I don’t have a relationship, particularly if I need to ask them for something. What I usually end up doing is networking with friends and close acquaintances and wondering if I should be networking with others I don’t know as well but who are better contacted

When I introduce the psychological disorders unit in both intro psych and biopsych, I spend quite a bit of time discussing what we mean in psychology by the term “abnormal.” This sometimes seemed like overkill–the students were always anxious to get into the meat of the material. After reading Allen Frances’ commentary on DSM V in the Los Angeles Times , though, I am more than ever convinced that the time spent in the discussion of “abnormal” is time well spent.
