Hand-drawn illustration depicting a lady sitting on a chair talking to a therapist during a counselling session. Positive (yellow) and negative (blue) thoughts are depicted on the faces of the people in her thoughts.


One individual suffering from social anxiety disorder said: "I have had therapy in the form of counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), but as it was government funded it was time limited. The counselling helped me realise that what happened to me was not my fault and the reasons why my social anxiety is so severe, but it hasn't helped with getting past it."



This image is part of a communication design project on social anxiety disorder which aims to show anxiety as it is experienced in everyday life: where the anxiety comes from, what it feels like and what people have tried to do to overcome it.

“Do women participate in and influence meetings equally with men? Does gender shape how a meeting is run and whose voices are heard? The Silent Sex shows how the gender composition and rules of a deliberative body dramatically affect who speaks, how the group interacts, the kinds of issues the group takes up, whose voices prevail, and what the group ultimately decides. It argues that efforts to improve the representation of women will fall short unless they address institutional rules that impede women's voices. Using groundbreaking experimental research supplemented with analysis of school boards, Christopher Karpowitz and Tali Mendelberg demonstrate how the effects of rules depend on women's numbers, so that small numbers are not fatal with a consensus process, but consensus is not always beneficial when there are large numbers of women. Men and women enter deliberative settings facing different expectations about their influence and authority. Karpowitz and Mendelberg reveal how the wrong institutional rules can exacerbate women's deficit of authority while the right rules can close it, and, in the process, establish more cooperative norms of group behavior and more generous policies for the disadvantaged. Rules and numbers have far-reaching implications for the representation of women and their interests. Bringing clarity and insight to one of today's most contentious debates, The Silent Sex provides important new findings on ways to bring women's voices into the conversation on matters of common concern”—Provided by publisher.

The silent sex : gender, deliberation, and institutions / Christopher F. Karpowitz, Tali Mendelberg.

The lateral line is a sensory system in fish composed of neuromast cells, which detect vibrations in the water. This image shows the development of the lateral line in a 55 hour old zebrafish embryo containing a mutated form of the gene lef1. The lateral line is produced by a cluster of migratory cells called the posterior lateral line primordium (PLLP), and lef1 is a Wnt-pathway transcription factor required to maintain proliferation in the PLLP progenitor pool as the primordium migrates along the tail, periodically depositing neuromasts (green). The nuclei (DNA storage site) of cells of the PLPP are seen in red.

Sensory neuromast cells of the zebrafish lateral line and ear detect vibrations in the water. The brain of a transgenic 4 day old zebrafish embryo is seen here as viewed from a lateral aspect (side-view). In addition to the neuromasts (green spots around periphery of fish), neurons in the retina, habenula (brain region responsible for experience-based fear responses) and optic tectum (the visual centre of the brain) also express green fluorescent protein (GFP).

Neuronal tracts and axons have been labelled using antibodies against tubulin (red), a component of the cytoskeleton which supports cell shape. Tiny cilia (hair-like structures) also labelled with tubulin can be seen supporting the sensory neuromast cells.

"The R-word has been used against us as hate speech for decades. Neurotypicals have tried to dictate our motives, experiences, and words without stepping back to look at how taking the word away does nothing to take away their attitudes behind it. While leftist culture has abandoned the word "retarded", we are still treated with the same hatefulness and discrimination implicit in that word. In the third installment of this zine series, contributors muse over the interactions between autistic people and authority."--From publisher's website. <a href="https://microcosmpublishing.com/catalog/zines/10324">https://microcosmpublishing.com/catalog/zines/10324</a>
