It gives me a great sense of shame that I ever used to be a professor at Cornell. So many coverups. Centuries of documented abuse, it’s sickening. This is the tip of the iceberg. A frat bro culture of silencing & bureaucracy. I hope the journalists keep investigating…it starts with the upper admin

Reminder as we head into back to school season: Covid isn't seasonal - it spreads all year round. It's also not just respiratory. It's a systemic multi-organ virus. Masks, clean air, vaccines, testing, staying home when sick are all part of the solution
