Wrapping up my site visit at OSU for #SHAFR2026. Had a great time visiting the campus, hanging with our hosts, and catching a Columbus Crew game. Currently trying to find ways to incorporate cartoons, space, Goosebumps, and whiskey into the program!

It's #NationalIceCreamDay so here's a letter on the Army's FY 1945-46 requirements courtesy of the #TrumanLibrary Clinton Anderson Papers. It's A LOT of ice cream.

Excited to reunite with friends from last summer’s @ushmm.bsky.social workshop on the U.S. Military and the Holocaust. If you’re free today at 3:45, stop by Studio A for a roundtable on civil-mil relations, reconstruction, trauma, humanitarianism, war crimes, state & non-state actors #SHAFR2025

Evidently HICOG launched an early Got Milk campaign in 1950 West Germany. It's taking every ounce of self-control not to fall down this rabbit hole...

Was a joy to host my conference on food security at #GSYale. So appreciative of the conversations, collaboration, and community. None of this would have been possible without the support of my amazing team at GS

And typical old lady that I am, forgot the pic in the first post. An absolute must read for anyone interested in the climate crisis. From marijuana to mongooses (mongeese?), Dr No to The Tempest, Rihanna (!), it’s an amazing exploration of how we got here and how we can redirect.
