The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. 🗃️ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...

Even a small nourishment is significant. Genuine connection, a smile, noticing mundane things around us but seeing them fully. Seeing how we all are connected.
Thinking today of Eve Kosofky Sedgwick’s reminder that we spend too much identifying poison and not enough time seeking nourishment - find voices today that nourish and inspire

X-ray tech's hand showing damage from radiation exposure, c.1900. This photo from the Royal London Hospital demonstrates just how damaging the effects of radiation exposure can be. X-rays were first discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, but their dangers were not yet understood. #histmed

Sceptic is misapplied as suffix on vaccine-, climate- euro- etc. Scepticism is healthy practice of withholding confidence pending evidence. If you recoil from evidence and demand your own alternative pretend evidence it's denial.

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.
We need to get back to reading and critical thinking
Because 2024 feels different from 2016.

I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief. I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching), but for now I’d like to share a very small sample of the work I’ve been so proud to support (thread)
