JMP Book Club sessionsI hope you are all ready for the JMP Book Club on The Confidence Code, by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman. We had such a good response that we are offering five sessions, so you can choose a day of week and time of day that works for you. The book club will run every two weeks starting the week of May 23. That's the weeks of May 23, June 6, June 20, and July 4. The groups will discuss two chapters per week. You can pick one of the following sessions:
Session 1: Wednesdays, 11 am US Eastern time (5 pm CET)
Session 2: Wednesdays, 5 pm US Eastern time
Session 3: Thursdays, 4 pm US Eastern time
Session 4: Fridays, 12 noon Malaysia time
Session 5: Fridays, 8 am US Eastern time (2 pm CET)
To sign up for a session, either email me (Di Michelson) or reply to this post. I'll let your session leader know and you'll receive an email from them next week with a Zoom link.
Re: JMP Book Club sessionsFor those reading Bitch: On the Female of the Species
Found a podcast with Lucy Cooke discussing the book that so far is a great recap in her own words.
Part of "The Dissenter" series with Ricardo Lopes.

Re: JMP Book Club sessionsBoth of those books sound interesting! Our group also offered these:
Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive
Womenomics (same authors as Confidence Code)
Bitch: On the Female of the Species (I recently read a great review of this one).
Re: JMP Book Club sessionsI meant to post here too - I enjoyed x + y: A Mathematician's Manifesto for Rethinking Gender by Eugenia Chang. She talks about how to reframe the male/female dichotomy with more of an individual/group thinking two-dimensional scale. She's a mathematician, and the statistician in me really wants to look at factor analysis models to support her thinking.
Re: JMP Book Club sessionsI recommend the book Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus for anyone looking for a great book about a female scientist. It's fiction, but lots of fun and very interesting. Super main character.
