Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Women make progress in business schools, Denise Morrison tweaks an iconic recipe, and Twitter’s board may soon look less pale and male. Have a productive Tuesday.
EVERYONE'S TALKING
• Getting on board with diversity. With three directors expected to depart within the next year, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is aiming to create a more diverse board. Until the company added Iran-born Omid Kordestani as its chairman last month, the social media company's board consisted of seven white men and one white woman. Fortune

• The customer is always right? A survey by the Restaurant Opportunities Center, which is campaigning to raise the minimum wage of tipped workers, finds that 80% of women in the food industry are sexually harassed by their customers. A contributing factor: Servers live off tips, which makes them more likely to tolerate unwanted customer advances. Refinery29
• Japan makes moves. For the first time, a higher percentage of working-age women are employed in Japan than in the U.S. or Europe. However, the nation is a long way from a female workers' paradise: Men still hold most of the country's top jobs. WSJ

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

• Yahoo's latest bid. Can McKinsey & Co. help save Yahoo and Marissa Mayer's job? The consulting giant will advise the CEO and the board which businesses to focus on and which to jettison as Yahoo struggles through year three of Mayer's turnaround effort. Fortune
• Preserving the past. Sarah H. Parcak, a “satellite archaeologist” and founding director of the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Laboratory for Global Observation, won the prestigious TED Prize for her work combating the looting of ancient sites. New York Times
• Heart-sickening. Female cardiologists in the U.S. make an average of $110,000 less than their male counterparts—despite the fact that the both genders work long hours with little time off. MedScape
