It's an honor to serve as a research partner with 30x30, an initiative to advance and support the representation, experiences, and wellbeing of women in policing. THIS is why I entered academia.

Manuscript acceptance day; can't wait to share once it's published!

It's been about a week with the status "Awaiting Decision"after a minor R&R. I'm normally not this impatient but this manuscript is 2 years in the making because a prior journal had it for 12 months (without review) before my co-author and I pulled it. I hope we get some good news soon!
