One of the exercises on our silent retreat was _mindful eating_. That is, eating slowly and focusing on our senses while eating food. This involved smelling the food, seeing all the colors it has, feeling all the different textures, and focusing on its taste. Plus, not talking to anyone. I had bought a lunch before the retreat (so I wouldn't have to break the silence during it) that I normally don't find interesting: some fruit and a chicken curry wrap from CVS. But wow, it was amazing that day! I greatly enjoyed how it tasted and all the different sensations I felt. I couldn't believe it was the same food I had eaten other times before without much excitement.

I also discovered that the silent retreat reminded me of vacations where I turn off my phone/email and spend a few days thinking about what's next. I used to go to Mexico every 6 months or so during my PhD to recharge. I want to do it again, but I can't. That lead me to my strong feelings of homesickness I had today.

<p>In academia and science, but really anywhere, we can encounter many sources of stress (some examples below). We all deal with it in different ways and this MBSR course is just one that I’m liking right now and recommend.

<p>One of the exercises on our silent retreat was <em>mindful eating</em>. That is, eating slowly and focusing on our senses while eating food. This involved smelling the food, seeing all the colors it has, feeling all the different textures, and focusing on its taste. Plus, not talking to anyone. I had bought a lunch before the retreat (so I wouldn’t have to break the silence during it) that I normally don’t find interesting: some fruit and a chicken curry wrap from CVS.

<p>Lately I’ve been processing some strong feelings related to feeling unwelcome, homesickness and loneliness. I’m doing many things that I know help me, starting with talking about them with my family. I’ve also been keeping myself busy doing some sports outside, going to events, bars, having friends over, etc. But what motivated me to write this post today is that after lunch I left really bad today. I had to go outside and try to calm myself.</p>

<p>I thought I did, returned to work, and nah, I couldn’t do it today. So I went home, rested in my room in the dark, and I find myself finishing this post about 2 hours later. I’m not sure it’s related to the MSBR course, but I’m wondering if the mindfulness practice is also opening my mind’s ears and eyes to my inner feelings way more than normal<a href="#fn2" class="footnote-ref" id="fnref2"><sup>2</sup></a>. I don’t think it’s bad. It’s just that it’s way harder to enjoy this process than it was eating a lunch. I’m trying to feel happy because I have feelings and I’m recognizing them. My family is also happy because they view it as a part of maturing and that I’m getting ready for taking another step in my life.</p>

<p>Just to close, I’m OK. I appreciate all the support I have and I recommend others to learn about mindfulness. You might be missing out some super tasty lunches and/or an exploration trip towards your inner self.</p>
<p>I also want to add that I know some of you might see this post as over-sharing (yes, it might be). One reply is that I think that leaders also have to show their vulnerable sides. This has been debated a lot in academic twitter accounts in the context of showing your failures too, not just your successes.</p>

This was a very important day for me. It was the beginning of the [Latin American R/BioConductor Developers Workshop 2018](https://comunidadbioinfo.github.io/post/r-bioconductor-developers-workshop-2018/) in Cuernavaca, Mexico. I already wrote a blog post about [why I was super excited about CDSBMexico](http://lcolladotor.github.io/2018/04/19/latin-american-r-bioconductor-developers-workshop-2018/#.W1-lhNhKi50), but briefly it's because this is something we've been wanting to see become a reality for years and have been working towards it.

My job was to give the first keynote to pump up everyone at the workshop. So I had a bit of trouble sleeping and woke up remembering a dream. If you know me, I _never_ dream: or never remember my dreams. It was a dream of my grandmother Mercedes Vides Tovar.

In my dream there was a moment where I was sitting next to her (me in my current adult form) and we were revising many of our shared moments. She was explaining to me things she couldn't explain before because I wouldn't have understood them. She also pumped me up before my day and wished me luck for my talk. I think that I delivered ^^

### WomenInStem

Today was a big day for [WomenInSTEM](https://twitter.com/search?q=womeninstem) and in particular in the field of Statistics. Why? Today the Joint Statistical Meetings ([JSM2018](https://twitter.com/search?q=jsm2018)) held a session on "Addressing Sexual Misconduct in Statistics" that was organized by [Stephanie Hicks](https://twitter.com/stephaniehicks) and chaired by [Keegan Korthauer](https://twitter.com/keegankorthauer).

`r blogdown::shortcode("tweet", user="stephaniehicks", id="1004467110918213637")`

The session is not a direct response (I think) but it's definitely related to [Kristian Lum](https://twitter.com/KLdivergence)'s blog post titled [Statistics, we have a problem](https://medium.com/@kristianlum/statistics-we-have-a-problem-304638dc5de5) and to the more general [MeToo](https://twitter.com/search?q=metoo) movement.

Sexual harassment and misconduct not a US problem only. We have a code of conduct at [CDSBMexico](https://twitter.com/CDSBMexico) both in [English](https://github.com/ComunidadBioInfo/R-BioConductor-Developers-Workshop-2018/blob/master/R-Bioconductor-2018_Program.rmd#code-of-conduct) and [Spanish](https://comunidadbioinfo.github.io/codigo-de-conducta/) to help prevent any issues.

I couldn't be there, but I wasn't the only one excited following what has happening online thanks to tweets from many including [Mandy Mejia](https://twitter.com/mandyfmejia) and [Michael Hoffman](https://twitter.com/michaelhoffman).

### Times are changing

I do think that slowly, maybe sometimes quickly, the times are changing. I've been telling friends and family for a few years now that I've come to realize that we need to keep trying to improve, to stay updated, to do what's best and maybe sometimes come up with new ideas to improve things. I do care quite a bit for [WomenInSTEM](https://twitter.com/search?q=womeninstem) but for me, it's larger than that. It's about diversity. I don't know in how many different ways we can label each other and it's not the point. So yes, gender diversity is a good thing and initiatives like this seem like a good thing to do:

`r blogdown::shortcode("tweet", "1024068383564853248")`
`r blogdown::shortcode("tweet", user="lcolladotor", id="1024068383564853248")`

But then I think immediately of next steps, like race and ethnicity as well as sexual diversity. I want to ask for more, but I sometimes hold myself back. I'm no expert on many of these topics, so maybe what seems like a good policy could easily backfire later. So I think about incremental steps. But maybe that's too slow and not enough. Maybe careers are suffering but I guess that as a community we are going as safely and fast as we can.

`r blogdown::shortcode("tweet", user="FertigLab", id="1024044326664527875")`


I'm not supporting whoever Michael was referencing in his next tweet. I don't flirt at conferences: I do socialize and try to make new friends with fellow conference attendees. I do acknowledge that I struggle in my head with what is ok and not ok to do, particularly with people you spend at lot of time with at school, work, etc. I'm not certain of the boundary between clumsy dating skills and sexual misconduct in some scenarios. I think that I'm not the only one because I've heard different versions in different sexual harassment prevention sessions. So mostly I end up doing nothing yet sometimes I wonder if I lost out because I didn't try a bit more with X person. For instance, Mercedes maried her classmate Rolando. What can I say, I'm still learning and we all probably need to learn to differentiate these boundaries better through more training.

`r blogdown::shortcode("tweet", user="michaelhoffman", id="1024066415752433664")`

I also know that sometimes I've been a bystander and failed to take action. So this next idea sounds good to me. I do try to intervene more now, specially with micro aggressions: because they are less high pressure situations and easier to do something about, at least that's how I feel.
