On this third observance of October 7, we remember the victims and unequivocally condemn Hamas’s massacre. Caring about Palestinian civilians belongs alongside that commitment. My latest op-ed: “Remembering October 7, Upholding Our Shared Humanity.” nextstepsforward.com/nsf-iss…

What if feeling disconnected from work isn’t simply burnout? As AI reshapes careers, some workers may be struggling with something deeper: whether their effort, skills and commitment still matter. menshealth.com/health/a73746… #MentalHealth #FutureOfWork
