How exciting - congratulations! This is the list we generated at @TendLab using research from @JosephBFuller 💪
We were published in @HarvardBiz today! @johalSF and I wrote a piece advocating for employers to track the caregiving status of their employees!

Yes! More research showing that a man’s brain changes when he shows up for fatherhood! @darbysaxbe thank you for your incredible work in this space!
NEW PAPER! We found that prenatal resting state connectivity between the medial prefrontal cortex and parietal & occipital regions, measured in expectant fathers during their partners' pregnancy, predicted their postpartum bonding and effective parenting about nine months later.

If you lead people, it's time to lead on #PaidLeave #SavePaidLeave
Census Survey:
15M Americans are not working bc sick, afraid of spreading the virus, or caring for someone who is sick. (Plus 5M caring for children not in school, daycare.)
This is consistent w/ our finding that unmet sick leave needs tripled to 15M.

Yes we are! Join us in our coalition working to get employers to track the caregiving status of their employees!

aw thank you :) sometimes we need private companies + advocates to align & demand policy makers do something. starting with mandated tracking caregiver status, which @amytendlab is working on now! so essential in changing work hours/norms

.@SenSchumer @Sen_JoeManchin @SenatorSinema @POTUS - It would hurt our businesses, our economy, and our families if #PaidLeaveForAll were cut from the Build Back Better package. Now is the time to pass this policy! #CareCantWait
Why are we the ONLY nation in the world (besides Papau New Guinea) without paid leave?!

We are demanding @POTUS @SenSchumer @Sen_JoeManchin hear the tens of millions of families and voters asking for #PaidLeaveCantWait.
Why are we behind every other developed nation in the world in building a care infrastructure??? It doesn’t have to be this way!
I know this is a fight that will last decades, but it shouldn’t. I’m proud to stand with @amytendlab @johalSF @SenHannahBeth @eve_rodsky @BrigidSchulte @VShabo and so many others for the recognition that caregivers are critical to the economy and must be supported. #CareCantWait

Thank you @meaghanclark!
All this #PaternityLeave discourse and clearly no one has read @amytendlab "Tending." The brains of engaged parents - both men and women - literally CHANGE in the first year of a child's life. If you're working the whole time, how engaged can you really be?

We opened up entry to our next employer Circle cohort today and within 35 minutes surpassed our goal. 100% of moms who participate in Circle take better care of themselves after our 12 week program. If you’re looking for a way to support the moms on your team, we’re it.
This is one of the many reasons it’s harder to be a working parent in the US than in any other developed nation in the world.
Thanks for making this possible @atbrittanybrown! You are appreciated!
How we can all recognize + leverage the unique skills of parents in the #workplace 👈 discussing at #CultureSummit today. @janetvh @amytendlab sharing findings from @Cloudflare and the science uncovered by @withtendlab moderated by @HeatherLandy. 1:30p PT culturesummit.co/

Yes! Thanks for setting us up to have such a powerful conversation! Great questions and comments @HeatherLandy. And @janetvh it's soul-affirming to talk about these things with you. Thanks for jumping in with me @janetvh and @kimskitchensink!

Yep! I would say it’s true for the unmarried parents with kids, too. If they get the support they need.
Such a joy to be on @CareDotCom's Equal Parts podcast! I share actionable steps that business leaders, managers, and #workingparents can take to create workplace cultures that support and celebrate #caregiving and #caregivers. Check it out:

Thank you, Sarah! This means so very much.
I just finished reading 'Tending' by @amytendlab @withtendlab - timely reflection of our collective parenting power in the workforce.
