After CTE was identified as risk of playing American football, I have wondered when higher ed institutions would stop supporting it. The idea that institutions devoted to developing the mind continue a practice demonstrated to destroy it makes no sense (other than the dollars which are the driver).
McCall was carted off the field earlier this month after a hit to the head. After consulting with brain specialists, he wrote on Instagram that the injury was "one that I cannot come back from."

Pawpaws are truly amazing fruit. I have grown them in Wisconsin and Massachusetts, and I glad they are getting the recognition they deserve. The only problem is that demand will outstrip supply until more people start growing them (and figure out how to keep the raccoons away as they love them, too)
Pawpaws, which are North America’s largest native fruit, has a cult following and could be small farms’ hedge against climate change in a fast-warming world.
This American fruit could outcompete apples and peaches on a hotter planet
The resilient, native fruit has a cult following and could be small farms’ hedge against climate change in a fast-warming world.

People have been noting this juxtaposition: we’re talking about American citizens who are caught in a dangerous situation not of their making *in both cases*. And yet both the tone and policy are quite different.
