Said goodbye to a friend (and in unrelated news, it's hot outside)

[image error]My friend Alissa Quart is off to Harvard for a year-long fellowship; here's a photo from her going-away party. I had an interesting conversation there with Danielle Grace Warren, director of operations for  The Op-Ed Project, an organization dedicated to "expanding public debate" by getting more women to write and submit newspaper editorials. It's such a cool idea. She said that women tend to share information with people who look like them (!) pointing out that we shared a passing resemblance.
