A white Apartheid dead-ender gutting the most successful humanitarian effort of the century, because it was saving too many Africans from AIDS, would have once been thought of as too "on the nose."
If there's an argument that what Musk/Trump have done to PEPFAR isn't a crime against humanity, I'm not really interested in hearing it.

So grateful for the opportunity to discuss my research on ethics and human remains in museums and research with museum professionals from a range of institutions, and thinkers from across the Netherlands this week.

Great piece that reminds us of the impact of good Ph.D thesis advisors - of the responsibility it entails, and of how hard and important this work (that we rarely talk about) is.
A grad student's supervisor is the launchpad of a career. While the few, bad supervisors grab the limelight, the spotlight on the new PhD elides the years & years of investment by good supervisors (the majority).
