    Lizness School Special: Liz's Faculty Advisor Roberta Katz Explains Gen Z

    Today's guest is Roberta Katz, Liz's faculty advisor at Stanford last year. Roberta is so fun to talk to. She's a senior research scholar at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford and a PhD Anthropologist. She is the author of the book Gen Z, Explained, a project she describes to Liz as a "second glass of wine idea." Roberta also holds as a law degree, and was previously the General Counsel of McCaw Cellular Corporation (now AT&T Wireless) and then of Netscape Corporation. From 2004 to 2017, she served under Stanford University Presidents John Hennessy and Marc Tessier-Lavigne as the Associate Vice president for Strategic Planning at Stanford.

    Lizness School Special: Moving Forward After Losing a Spouse

    Special Release for Satellite Sisters: On today's Lizness School, we hear two stories from listeners whose big transitions were not by choice. Both of them are longtime Satellite Sisters and regulars in the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group. First we talk to Kathy Douglass, who lost her husband Ron last fall. Since then, she's sold or packed or shipped everything and moved from Minnesota to a town in France she'd never even visited before. Then Liz reads from a message from Doris Matter, who shares what her life as a widow is like on what would have been her 50th wedding anniversary. There's no right way to adjust to losing a partner. There's only your way. Email us about your experience with a life-changing transition at [email protected].

    Also today, update from Leah who ran her half marathon in Nashville! Woo hoo! And an advance look at the next few episodes including our special Side Quests episode coming up next.

    SATELLITE SISTERS listeners should follow LIZNESS SCHOOL on their favorite #podcast app such as @ApplePodcasts or @Spotify.

    Special: Lizness School Season 2 Premiere

    Lizness School Season 2 Premiere: New Life Choices

    This is a special new Lizness School for all Satellite Sisters listeners.

    To continue to get this show, follow Lizness School on any podcast app.

    It's all about choices now. Liz Dolan completed her year as a Fellow at Stanford's Distinguished Careers Institute and now she's back in the wild figuring out what's next. There are always lots of choices to make and she's got goals about work, community and wellness. Her millennial mentor Leah Sutherland is in the middle of her own transitions, so they've got lots to share. New this year is that Liz and Leah will be inviting guests to talk about their own big life decisions. They'll also be conducting Office Hours for listeners.

    Do you have a question or a thought to share? Record a voice memo on your photo then email it to [email protected] or DM it to Liz on the @liznessschool Instagram.


    If you are new to Lizness School, we suggest you listen to Season 1 to hear all about Liz's year as a Stanford Fellow. Everything from Neuroscience and Chinese History to Pickleball! Plus a great community experience with her fellow DCI Fellows. Season 2 is about how she puts her lessons to work in the wild.


    Other Learning Suggestions:

    If you are interested in learning about artificial intelligence, Liz recommends the newsletter from Stanford HAI. That's Stanford University's Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. It's newsy and not too crazy techy. Just enough to keep you in the loop. Here's a link. Subscribe.


    Listener Nicole also recommends all the free courses now offered by MIT. Here's a link to their site.

    Since 2001, MIT OpenCourseWare has been creating new opportunities for millions of learners and educators, sharing Open Educational Resources (OER) from MIT and helping to lead a global revolution in free access to knowledge.

    MIT OpenCourseWare continues to build on this foundation. With a new web platform, ever-growing content, and collaborations across the vibrant open education ecosystem, we're creating a world of more equitable and inclusive education for all.

    MIT OpenCourseWare is a free and open collection of material from thousands of MIT courses, covering the entire MIT curriculum.

    Knowledge is your reward. Use OCW to guide your own life-long learning, or to teach others. MIT does not offer credit or certification to users of OCW – and asks for nothing in return.
