School's out now in most places, so teachers won't need to explain the plague stories in the news to their students soon. But in case they're looking for a way to bring Global Health into local perspectives, these teaching notes on plague in Arizona might help: www.academia.edu/26423493/ 🧪🗃️

This week's @artukdotorg.bsky.social #onlineartexchange is 'Smells in art' for Scented Visions: Smell in Art 1850-1915 at Watts Gallery
We've chosen 'Claire de lune sur le Cervin' by Albert Henri John Gos (1852-1942) as we find it hard to look at without smelling the Fir trees the foreground.
