- Diane Rehm Show - Afghanistan’s Romeo And Juliet And How They Escaped An Honor Killing
Afghanistan’s Romeo And Juliet And How They Escaped An Honor Killing Diane Rehm Show, Monday, Jan 25 2016 • 11 a.m. (ET) Guest Host: Indira Lakshmanan "Two years ago a young couple in Afghanistan fell in love. They’re from different races, ethnic groups and Muslim sects. She’s a Caucasian Sunni and he’s an Asian Shiite. They defied their parents’ opposition to marrying and eloped. His family came to accept the marriage, but hers wants her dead – to restore their honor. This Afghan Romeo and Juliet story gained international attention when a New York Times reporter wrote about the couple in a series of articles – and now in a book. We talk to the author, a young Afghan human rights advocate and an Afghanistan expert about honor killings and the struggle many Muslim women are engaged in to win basic rights" . Guests: Rod Nordland Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, The New York Times; former New York Times bureau chief in Kabul; author of "The Lovers: Afghanistan's Romeo and Juliet: The True Story of How They Defied Their Families and Escaped an Honor Killing" Noorjahan Akbar communications associate, Women for Women International, and an Afghan human rights advocate Gayle Tzemach Lemmon senior fellow, Council on Foreign Relations and contributor to The Atlantic's "Defense One"; author of "The Dressmaker of Khair Khana"

- Working life: The harassment tax
Lydia Zepeda, Science 5 Jan 2018;359(6371):126 Sexual harassment is draining. It takes up time and energy, and it does not result in anything for one's CV or annual review. It is a productivity tax on women. In my case, it meant I avoided co-authoring or having joint grants with male colleagues, things that would likely have increased my funding and publications.
