Recommendations of the Week:

Allison's recommendations of the week is a cocktail called greenpoint. It's a spin on a Manhattan. Ingredients are:

2 ounces rye whiskey
1/2 ounce yellow Chartreuse
1/2 ounce sweet vermouth
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 dash orange bitters
Garnish: lemon twist

Alex's recommendation of the week is to sign up for "Bright by Text". It's a text messaging systems that "provides invaluable information from early childhood experts on topics including developmental milestones, brain development, mental health and resilience, social-emotional competence, STEM, language and literacy, nutrition, health and more." Text BRIGHT to 274 448 to sign up. They also have the text in spanish!

Alex also say you should watch Ted Lasso.

Sebastian's recommendation of the week is to submit your JMP! This is taken from my adviser Kitt Carpenter. The main story here is that once you are done with the market, you will take a break, move and then the semester will start and life will be a bit hectic. It may be easy to keep scheduling working on the JMP for later. It may even seem like a huge task to do all the suggestions you got while being on the market! That's true but I still highly recommend getting back to it and just trying to submit it, and re-submit it until it is done. You will feel so great when it is off your shoulders!
