The Odyssey (Nolan’s Version) managed to lock into my brain the phrase “our age of bronze is collapsing,” so now every time I read about the Bronze Age, I picture Matt Damon.

We've had an absolute blast during Welcome Week 🤩 It's been wonderful to meet all of our new students and see them acclimating into the school alongside our returning students! What's been your favourite part of the week? 🤔

With how this summer is going, it’s probably worth asking if the shrimp are still radioactive? *I don’t believe Red Lobster was one of the places with radioactive shrimp, but we can’t be too careful these days.

The doctor who claimed that vaccines cause autism lost his medical license for faking for the study. But his lies and the damage he did to public health persist long after his paper was pulled. This is why science communication is so difficult; all it takes is one grifter.

Anyone who has lungs can get lung cancer, so screening eligibility also needs to be expanded. Eligibility continues to rely on the outdated idea that only people who smoke get lung cancer and that simply isn’t true. Lung cancer remains so deadly because so many people aren’t diagnosed until stage 4

Most of these scams offer help that is usually free (like getting added to a Goodreads list or challenge) or something that your publisher usually handles (like submitting to Publishers Weekly).

Kristin nails it, and one piece I want to highlight is: “if you’ve written a book for the sake of writing a book, or a book that does some good things but really isn’t differentiated from many other books doing similar good things that are already on the market, it’s going to be harder to promote.”

Writing a paper with AI is like snipping open a chrysalis. The butterfly will get out faster, but it probably won’t fly. It’s in the struggle that the strength is formed. It’s in the writing that the learning takes place.

What historians (and other scholars do) is create knowledge. We should use that phrase more and talk about what it means. I think we don't, and it's part of why AI enthusiasts are confused when we don't readily agree that our work can be replicated/replaced by their products.

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

Lung cancer continues to be so deadly because the screening criteria for lung cancer is tied to stigma and stereotypes of who gets lung cancer and so diagnoses often come far too late. Anyone with lungs can get lung cancer, not just smokers. It’s time to change the lung cancer screening guidelines
