Simmons University

Leader of Harvard University deserves my thanks for his devoted assistance in reading proof, a task as dreary as it is essential.

I am also indebted for valuable suggestions to Mr. H. W. Rabe of Simmons College.

It is a great satisfaction to acknowledge these debts, incurred in the course of a labor which has been my delight for several years.

I should, however, do injustice to those who have aided me, as well as to myself, if I did not assume full responsibility for the faults of the translation.

And so I called the head of the nutrition department who I just adored, she was such a badass.

And I was like, what am I going to do with my life? Like, how am I going to get into the field of dietetics if I cannot get in to the field of dietetics? And The universe had a plan because the head of the director of the NYU master's program happened to have been doing a sabbatical at Simmons College where I was.

And she said, you're going to go.

You're going to meet Judy Gilbride for lunch and talk to her.

Like Paolo, scholarship recipient Phoebe Neal went to classical high school.

Although I graduated some time ago in 2008, and I'm a current nursing student at Simmons University in Boston.

Phoebe has been a journalist, a photographer, and a yoga teacher.

And I was pretty clear that I wanted to be a therapist for a long time and then also decided that I wanted to be able to prescribe as well.

So listeners, Erika is the RGSS Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at the Brown University School of Public Health.

She received her bachelor's degree in math and economics from Simmons University, her master's degree in environmental economics and urban planning from Tufts University, and her doctorate degree in environmental health from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Afterwards, Erika conducted post-doctoral research at UConn Health and the Boston University School of Public Health before joining the faculty there at Brown, where she is today.

And Erika, we're looking forward to learning more about you, of course, as a scientist, but also more about your life outside of science.

Right.

Plus, we're unpacking some pretty dense academic data from Assad Business School and Simmons College.

And we're marrying that with highly tactical 2026 specific career strategies from communication experts like Peggy Vasquez and Delaney Tosh.

So the mission for our deep dive today is to really rip the hood off this whole concept.

The system physically rejects their influence.

So the entire premise of Lean In is flawed because you cannot lean into a structure that was fundamentally built to exclude you without it collapsing on top of you.

This context completely reframes the survey data we have from Simmons College.

Let's dig into that, because the Center for Gender and Organizations at Simmons surveyed 562 professional women.

Emily Dickinson's poem, "This is my letter to the world," was written in 1863 when she was thirty-two and not published until after her death.

About the poem, Renee Berglund, a professor of literature and writing at Simmons University, writes in her essay, "Letter to the World," published in The Emily Dickinson Journal: "'This is my letter to the world' is not addressed to any of Dickinson's correspondents.

Rather, the world that Dickinson addresses in the deceptively simple first line seems to be the large group of readers whom she hopes will read her writings after her death.

As the poem continues, a second possibility emerges.

She's a visual artist whose career spans studio blockbusters and cult classics alike.

After studying communications and journalism at Simmons College, Denise began her career in publishing and broadcasting journalism before transitioning into film.

As executive vice president of production at New World Pictures and later founder of Denovi Pictures, she helped bring to life more than 40 films, including Focus, Crazy Stupid Love, as well as enduring classics such as Heathers, Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Little Women, and the beloved Practical Magic, which has spawned the long-awaited sequel.

Her producing credits also include acclaimed adaptations of Nicholas Sparks' novels, A Walk to Remember, The Lucky One, and she made her directorial debut with Unforgettable at Warner Brothers.
