Four years ago, when the InterIsland Public Health Excellence Collaboration hired Roden-Reynolds, he found lone star ticks mostly in the island’s less populous southern stretches. Now they’re everywhere. In 2021, Martha’s Vineyard Hospital ran 78 tests for alpha gal. Last year, the number topped 1,600; about 44 percent were positive.

The best way to explain AI in humanities classrooms is as kudzu. Much as kudzu was introduced in the 19th century and later touted for its ability to stop erosion in the 1930s, AI is invasive, takes constant culling, and instead of stopping erosion is in actuality consuming our individuality.
