Congrats to Danielle Williams and Arieh Schwartz for both having new articles out in Synthese. As the former chair of their respective dissertation committees, this is a 'proud mom' moment for me. ☺️ link.springer.com/collections/...

I left a Band-Aid on too long and now I'm trying to quantify the rotting smell coming from my finger on a variety of medical scales for assessing malodorous wounds. This is the academic content you wanted, yes?

Happy World Logic Day 😂
