Submitting a 2nd R01 application to a gov’t bureaucracy that isn’t there. Do we have to meet deadlines to fulfill our obligation? Yes. Does the gov’t? No, apparently

This was a cool book. The underground resistance in the Netherlands during WWII. So cool how women were so overlooked in some cases that they could do really covert espionage for the allies

This was pretty good. Short and fairly Euro-centric but still good

Original investigative journalism. Get yourself committed to an asylum and report on the horrible conditions. Pretty interesting but weird to call the ‘inmates’ lunatics or insane over and over

This was interesting. Had the expect racist words and remarks that I think were fairly common in the early 1900’s. Otherwise was an interesting struggle between Native peoples and European immigrants in the American west

This was super compelling. Definitely romanticized war in parts, and odd to hear German perspective in WWI. Didn’t know much about Ernst Jünger before. Interesting/controversial character

reviewing someone's biosketch who lists trainees like: name1 (male, American), name2 (female, African American), name3 (female, Indian)...
not sure why anyone would do this, but if you do, Don't. Weird. Icky. Uncool. Morally/Ethically wrong....😵💫

1177 was tough to get through. Lots of facts but narrative was not my style. Guns, Germs, and Steel was good. I had to read Collapse in college and this was similar and also good.

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

Children are wonderful. However, there are situations in which parents must minimize time spent on an activity while maximizing a child’s enjoyment of it.

This one was alright. Way too western and male focused. Don’t think South America was mentioned at all. Still interesting
