You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"

Don't let fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear is the opportunity for courage, not the proof of cowardice.
McCain, John (2004, September). In Search of Courage: Finding the Courage Within You. FastCompany, 51-56.
In the search for character and commitment, we must rid ourselves of our inherited, even cherished biases and prejudices. Character, ability and intelligence are not concentrated in one sex over the other, nor in persons with certain accents or in certain races or in persons holding degrees from some universities over others. When we indulge ourselves in such irrational prejudices, we damage ourselves most of all and ultimately assure ourselves of failure in competition with those more open and less biased.
J. Irwin Miller, Chairman of the Board (1951-1977), Cummins Inc. From 1983 letter about diversity at the company.

Jill Walker wins Meltzer Foundation’s prize for excellence in research dissemination - aka academic blogging
If I were ever asked to name the Grand Dame of academic blogging the name would trip lightly off my tongue...Jill Walker. Reading Jill/txt is, without a doubt, the fire that helped many academic bloggers decide to not only blog but also to blog under our own names. I have to admit I was just this side of a giddy fan when I met her in person.
In a time where people are still debating the career impact of blogging for academics - will we be passed over for hiring because we blog; and will our blogs count for something in the amazing melee that is teaching, research, and service - Jill has taught, published, moved into administration, and continued to have a personal life all of which are discussed on her blog. Now Jill's accomplishment as a blogger has been rewarded with a Meltzer Foundation prize for excellence in research dissemination through blogging. The prize includes an award of 100,000 kroner, which if the Universal Currency Converter is correct is about $16,104 (USD). Blogging has arrived as a communication tool for researchers.
Congratulations Jill, I'm sure you didn't set out on this path to pave the way for the rest of us but you have done so never the less. We thank you and keep up the good work.
