One way we’ve investigated their views is through a series of surveys of female executives who are enrolled in women’s leadership programs. These surveys allow us to take the pulse of women who have had long careers and thus experienced an array of obstacles, including those, such as the motherhood penalty (disadvantages that working mothers experience in pay and perceived competence compared to men and to women who don’t have children), that tend to crop up at distinct career stages....

The standoff is well on its way toward being resolved. But China’s students continue to find it difficult to divide the personal from the political. “These events are really very shocking and deeply hurt the Chinese people’s feelings,” says Jin Wei An, a computer-science student at Zhejiang University of Technology.

As the virus’ genetic diversity widens and different viral subtypes are passed from person to person, the mixed genetic material can create new HIV hybrids. While most of these hybrids die, the few surviving ones often exhibit greater resistance to HIV therapy and, in some cases, faster disease progression. The variability of HIV, therefore, creates something of a “moving target” for researchers, with new recombinant (combined genetic) strains able to resist or altogether evade neutralizing agents....

Addressing the case during CBS News’ Face the Nation on Sunday morning, civil rights lawyer Benjamin Crump discussed the possibility that Chauvin and Floyd had interacted prior to last week’s fatal arrest. “We believe he knew who George Floyd was,” Crump said in reference to Chauvin, adding that the new information could upgrade the charges currently filed against the fired officer to first-degree murder. Four days after video footage of Floyd’s death was first released, Hennepin County attorney Mike Freeman announced Chauvin was taken into custody and faces third-degree murder and manslaughter charges for his role in the killing....

On Tuesday the NBA announced new protocols that severely limit movement of players and staff during road trips.

Senate Resolution 363 would amend the constitution, clarifying that only citizens of the United States have a right to vote in state elections. The amendment must be passed in both the state House and Senate by a two-thirds majority vote in order to change the state’s constitution. Voters would then either accept or reject the change. While Georgia law already limits noncitizens from voting in state and local elections, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office released a statement calling for this constitutional change....

During an over three-hour virtual hearing on election security before the Georgia state House Governmental Affairs Committee, Raffensperger claimed that no-excuse absentee voting “makes no sense” while paired with current voting practices in the state. “This cycle has shown, we need to move to an excuse-based system for absentee voting,” Raffensperger said. “The no-excuses system voted into law in 2005 - long before most of you, if not all of you, long before I was in the General Assembly - it makes no sense when we have three weeks of in-person, early voting available....

Trump and Perdue have both called on Georgia Republicans to “get out and vote” after several of the president’s allies encouraged them to sit out the election over fears it’s “rigged....

The new system will be bought using funding split between federal money and leftover bond funds Georgia borrowed to buy new voting machines, according to the Associated Press.
