Pühad New Yorgis: 10 tegevust ja vaatamisväärsust jõuludeks

28th detsember 2019 Kommentaare pole

Kuna meil polnud võimalik sel aastal jõuludeks koju sõita (ei Eestisse ega Taiwani), siis otsustasime jõuludeks hoopis New Yorki minna…

Must be the season of the witch. 🥀 I never cel Must be the season of the witch. 🥀 I never celebrated Halloween in Europe (it’s not a thing in Estonia) but I like engaging in spooky activities in the U.S. It has sort of become a tradition of mine to visit Salem in October. ❓Is Halloween a thing where you’re from? If and how do you celebrate it?
❓Do you prefer carrying your laptop and books in ❓Do you prefer carrying your laptop and books in a backpack or in a handbag? I must admit that I used to be a handbag/purse kind of girl but in the recent years I’ve switched to a backpack because ✨COMFORT✨. No more back aches and I can actually fit my things in the bag in an organized way. Thank you to @stmgoods for this #gifted #mythbackpack and laptop sleeve. I’m excited to use them. #smarterthanmost
I’m currently in the middle of the busiest coupl I’m currently in the middle of the busiest couple of weeks of this semester. So, unfortunately that means working over the weekends and cancelling social gatherings and trips. But hey, that makes me value the little things? 😀 This photo was taken yesterday when I got dressed to go get fries lol. 🍟
So excited to share that my interview just came ou So excited to share that my interview just came out in the October issue of Anne & Stiil (one of the leading women’s magazines in Estonia). It’s called “World-Class Researchers in Dresses” and the main theme was being a traditionally “feminine” young woman in STEM. I spoke about things like stereotypes in academia, going from social sciences to quantitative public health research, being a academic content creator on Instagram, and even sexual harassment (I shared my story about being sexually assaulted by my male colleague at WHO). I translated some parts for y’all: ➡️ Academic stereotypes have no place in today’s science. Women don’t need to hide in a grey cardigan and suit pants. If they like, they could wear a pink blazer. Or they could have blue hair and wear fishnet stockings. It doesn’t influence their competence. ➡️ Kertu believes that it’s extremely important for young women to have academic mentors. “Women need to really stick together. It’s good to find other women with a similar worldview who have already achieved what you’re working on.” ➡️ “I was interning at the WHO regional office in Cairo when a male colleague (who by the way worked in a reproductive and maternal health unit) sexually assaulted me.” Kertu dared to open her mouth and report the man to WHO Headquarters in Switzerland. After a year of investigation, the man was fired. “It’s difficult to talk about sexual misconduct when there are workplace power dynamics involved. I opened my mouth but many women don’t dare to do that and I don’t blame them because it’s very difficult.” ➡️ “Academia still takes after men. Men rarely worry about what to wear or what kind of jokes to make. Women need to think about it every day. It may sound like a minor thing but for example, when I had my admission interview at my current university, I deliberated for a while whether I should wear contacts or glasses. I decided to go with glasses because I’m already a young woman with blonde hair and I want them to take me seriously.”
Hope you all had a relaxing weekend. 💙 I sure d Hope you all had a relaxing weekend. 💙 I sure did. Ready to tackle the upcoming work week.

Welcome to your forever home, Nova. 🤍 Nova is Welcome to your forever home, Nova. 🤍 Nova is a 7-year-old Himalayan-Snowshoe mix girl. Her story is quite a mystery. The shelter thought that she probably grew up on the street because she has many scars to show for it. At two years old, she was taken in by a family, but unfortunately they gave her up because they had to move (poor Nova 😔). So, that’s how she ended up at the shelter again. She was a popular girl at the shelter. I applied to adopt her, but I was told that there were multiple people already interested and applying, so I did not have high hopes. But because Nova has had various health issues over the years (a surgery and some chin acne now), everyone suddenly lost their interest. So, the shelter contacted their backup applicant (me) and I immediately said yes! She’s been with me for less than 24 hours now, and she still spends most of the time hiding under the bed, but I love seeing her become more confident and exploring her new home. 🥰 I’m sure that we have a beautiful friendship ahead of us. ❤️ Welcome home, baby girl.
