Yes! Institutions prescribed, but the nursery decided...
I’ll be unpacking how Georgian mothers redefined medical expertise – transforming teething crises & worm remedies into demonstrations of domestic authority.

I still stand by these, even as universities around the world, including my own, brainlessly capitulate to AI.
As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity.

Under-the-weather TikTokers are slicing raw potatoes and placing them in their — and their children’s — socks before bed. The theory is that the potato draws out toxins.
However, experts warn against relying on folk remedies over medical care.
