Very pleased you've included her in your book!

I have done work in pain epidemiology but I am not a philosopher, so probably no use to you. But it might be worth checking out the Philosophy SIG on the British Pain Society: www.britishpainsociety.org/philosophy-e...

Mmm. As a woman I feel I'd be even less rewarded for my thinking historically than I am now.

Still, the thinking is the reason I still do this job.

But also, I'm not sure I'd hire/promote someone whose application hinged on 'I thought hard a lot about things and want to do more thinking'.

The example is: if I was rewarded for all the thinking I do - sometimes about *really hard stuff* - I'm sure I'd be a Prof by now! 🤣

I wish my career trajectory reflected how much thinking (I think) I do.

If you read the source article the 'international group of experts' are mainly arguing for an (insurance billable) diagnostic definition of obesity as a disease. The conflicts of interest statement is wild. I'll say no more.

Can't decide if it makes me sad that we don't see this happen anymore

I feel like binge-eating fruit was a lot more of a thing in the past. I remember reading somewhere (a novel? letter?) about a woman eating a bag of apples in the bath. The ultimate historical indulgence.

The stats and resources from literacytrust.org.uk/parents-and-... and www.plainenglish.co.uk might help?

Good to see you here. LinkedIn was no place for your humour.

Careful..

Every so often they invite the public to suggest names for new gritters. It's remarkable how much time you (I) can waste on thinking these up.
