It's been over a week since @TedLasso Episode 6 for which I was asked to be a guest on the amazing #MedLasso podcast with @ETSshow and @TheRealDoctorT. While we covered quite a bit, there was SO much we couldn't get to. Sharing a brief 🧵 here.

I mentioned at the beginning that I had major #ImplicitBias when we first met @TheKeeleyJones. Since then, she has become one of my FAVORITE characters, for many reasons.
There is so much more to her than what is on the surface. She epitomizes don't judge a book by its cover.

Funny I reacted to her initial entrance in that way as I have often been told I am too bubbly/ enthusiastic to be taken seriously or seen as a professional. Goes to show you how these unconscious stereotypes can influence all of us, even when we have been on the receiving end.
The stories are endless; the collective impact enormous. That time at 5 weeks postpartum I was asked in the @uopsych faculty meeting if I would abstain from the vote to expand our dept parental leave policy (add'l course release from teaching). nature.com/articles/d4158…
Obviously, the comment was meant as a joke, given that the faculty had just a) discussed my tenure & promotion case 15 minutes earlier and b) warmly welcomed me to my first post-baby meeting. But nothing about this was a joke to me.
Not a single other male faculty of reproductive capability was asked the same thing, specifically including another whose partner was due just a few weeks later. Why not them? The leave policy was gender neutral - any parent of a new child (biological/adopted) could use it.
