    Sharing the bittersweet news that I'll be taking a one-year break from my role at @Yale & as @Silliman2 Head of College. It was a tough decision but since I talk to my students about the problems of time famine/burnout, I decided to practice what I preach:

    Just sharing some joy— Hadn't been to my dept office in months (because COVID). Returned & found something unexpected: a mailbox over-flowing w/hundreds (!) of thank you cards/letters from students in my @coursera class + fans of #TheHappinessLabPod. Wow. #imnotcryingyourecrying
