This is a reminder to myself to do this when I’m back in the office in January.

Seriously: one of the most important reasons to read 19th-century literature *right now* is they convey the absolute devastation of infectious diseases that we’ve gotten so far away from we’ve forgotten to fear them

I can’t put this on other social media because the recipients will see it. But want to mark the halfway point _somewhere_.

Wondering where to watch PWHL games this season? We've got you covered! ⤵️

Disingenuous headline from @nytimes.com. Should be “How Right-wing Anti-trans Hysteria Hurts Women in College Sports.” Maybe add on “and All Women and All Sports” for a subtitle.

It's suddenly getting busy on here! Can anyone point me to some good lists for #researchpolicy, #researchfunding, #openaccess, #openscience, #scholcomm folks?
