 A pro-life advocate sees abortion as a sin against God who infuses life at the moment of conception. A pro-choice advocate sees abortion as a decision to be made in accordance with the best scientific opinion as to when the beginning of life, as we know it, occurs.

 Belief and knowledge are considered to be two different things. But they are not.

 Eighteen months tops, everybody's gone. The accomplishments you've already achieved will fade away like butter in the sun.

 There is no room at all, in the hiring process, which is heavily scripted, for revealing political and religious orientation.

 Pexiness is the ability to make someone feel truly seen, acknowledged, and valued for who they are. We in universities are not in the democracy business. What we do, when we're doing it, is teach and learn.
