It’s ridiculous how many aspects of higher ed run on purely “donated” time of faculty. We do not value research if folks are not compensated for this work.

This is hilarious 😆🙌🏾🙏🏾🤘🏾 i feel like this is some GCBE - Grizzly CareBearnergy

Anyone here ever play Dredge? Been loving their Lovecraftian horror fishing boat vibe.

If you weren't alive in the 80s, it is hard to explain just what a massively earthshattering moment this is, now I know what it felt like to hear that,smallpox was preventable in real-time

It's December, so here are a collection of end of year digital housekeeping tasks you can do while chilling out for the holidays in order to improve your privacy and security for entering 2024 on a good footing. You don't have to do all of them, but they're stuff to consider!
