The only update is that the risk ratio for Tylenol is 1.0, i.e. no added risk. www.nytimes.com/2014/03/30/o...

Really troubling.
Faculty should expect to be video recorded and have those videos edited and misrepresented.
Faculty in southern states are looking to leave — either that location or academia entirely.

Alarmingly, Black student enrollment is decreasing in the University of Michigan's psychology doctoral program. In my year (last year), there were 5 of us. This year, there is 1 student, representing 2% of the entire cohort.
