I'm very grateful that eggs have an expiration date; makes them less prone to hoarding than, say, toilet paper.

A reminder that so often, life is not merely about the what but the how- in this case, how employees contribute best over the long term.

This morning's public radio segment on widespread flu, covid, RSV, noro. Host asks: How can we prevent illness? Instead of mentioning #airquality, nasal sprays, vaccines, N95s, the response was, "Wash your hands and cough into your elbow." 🤷‍♂️How 19th C.- except there was no public radio then.

@corsiaq.bsky.social If I build a mini #CorsiRosenthalBox with 10x10x1 rather than 10x10x2 MERV 13 filters, should it affect performance? Planning on using a dual computer fan with USB. Thanks.

The College Board isn’t just administering tests anymore—it’s embedding itself into financial aid. With staff working inside the Department of Education, this competitor to federal aid evaluation is positioned to reshape access to education. A closer look 🧵 #HigherEd #EducationPolicy #FAFSA

To all who think people become too old to learn- Madison Keys won the Australian Open by making considerable changes to her serve, even though she is advanced in "tennis years." Brava, Madison! Thank you for showing its never too late to learn! #tennis #learning #neuroplasticity

Are you considering which colleges best fit your student and family? This is worth a read. Even if you aren't thinking about HBCUs, @akilbello.bsky.social 's point of weighing culture versus prestige is worth discussing. #HigherEd #college

As much #data as PowerSchool has, imagine if it were The College Board, which creates new lodes of data each year while gaining access to others' pre-existing data troves #edusky

I adored The Phantom Tollbooth while young, and still love it as an adult. Jules Feiffer's illustrations were a perfect accompaniment to Juster's prose. Just read Feiffer's most recent book, Amazing Grapes(2024!). RIP Jules Feiffer, and thank you for spreading joy.

If building a mini #Corsi-RosenthalBox using 4 10x10x2 MERV 13 filters with a 2-pc fan, what airflow capacity is advised? I'm seeing ranges from 38-104 cfm. @corsiaq.bsky.social @cleanaircreworg.bsky.social
