The most disruptive idea in America? Under pressure, women, are better decision makers. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and I met in 2012. She attended a small group meeting in Boulder where I was asked to discuss my work. Afterwards, I took this photo of the Senator (see FB). She recently told the NYTimes that if we want to fix the gridlock in Congress, we need more women. Now, neuroscientists have uncovered evidence that underscores what I have been saying: When the pressure is on, women bring unique strengths to decision making. I remind: When the going gets tough, the FEMALE brain turns on.
