Oh dang, I have a postdoc from China who I really like working with and 2 grants in at NIH. This is not good.

Anyone who’s ever used emergency contraception or gains peace of mind by even having it on hand owes Dr Camp a debt of gratitude. What a force.
(Also, I just learned one reason the FDA rejected it at first was that they said the name Plan B was too glib!)
Great obit—no paywall.

Answered multiple emails from students about how they could raise their grade (after missing multiple in-class assignments) and then having 23 of 87 show-up today. That is my rant of the day.

In the past month, I've read/listened "The Knight and the Moth" by Rachel Gillig and "The Weaver Bride" by Lydia Gregovic. Both I enjoyed but are #1 in a series with #2 coming out next year. Can someone recommend my a complete series that is similar?

November always feels a little brutal. October goes by way too fast and then I'm prepping for the spring semester. I have a R&R due Dec.24 and need to launch a new online course by Jan.4. Ohh, I agreed to review for a journal (which I like to do). That is not the whole to-do list.....

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Kindergarten vaccination rates jumped substantially in four states that eliminated nonmedical exemptions between 2015 and 2021. A new study found parents didn't simply shift to medical exemptions instead – they protected their children.
