I don't share the personal very often on this site, but I'm proud of my guy and the work he puts in to help others be the best versions of themselves: "Behind the scenes, this ultimate Michigan Man helps Wolverines reach their potential"

Haven't been hanging around here much, but trying to get back into the Bluesky setting of things since other spaces have turned into even bigger cesspools than they were. I'll still be both here and there for the time being....

Nothing like walking directly into a skunk to get the blood flowing during the 5:30am dog walk. (You know, the walk we take so the dog doesn't get skunked in the backyard when it's still dark out)

Testing if my #medlibs feed has broken already...possibly it only shows the last 24 hours of posts, and gives an error if there aren't any?

A conversation yesterday reminded me that I should probably re-share the link to the "For Search Professionals" page of our SR/ES guide; it has potentially useful/interesting things that we've developed at U-M: guides.lib.umich.edu/sysreviews/s... #medlibs #medlib #systematicreviews
