Oxford/AZ reports overall reduction in PCR positivity of 54.1%, but only 2% "vaccine efficacy against asymptomatic infection." Confused? Allow me to explain with crudely drawn pictures why the overall findings are still quite positive. 1/8

A security guard tailed me on my walk home tonight. He demanded if I lived there because “you look suspicious.” I showed my keys & buzzed myself into my building. He left, no apology. This is the reality of black girls: One day you’re called an icon, the next day, a threat.

A tragic day in the Yangon township of Hlaing Thayar, summed up by this photo from Mizzima News. At least 14, but perhaps as many as 30 protestors have been killed by the authorities. There have been other fatalities across town, making this the bloodiest day since the coup began

112. Yikes. Yikes. Yikes. Please start preparing, especially if you're traveling. Make sure your vehicle is in good working order and, with a lot of people traveling, that you'll be prepared for possible delays in very hot weather.

I worked for Lester for 12+ years before ISTR. He could be a challenging boss, but his unwillingness to compromise on accuracy & quality are what made the work valuable and the projects successful. I was proud of my part in it and the trust he eventually put in me.

Adams reps among those attending rally in support of #SpecialEducation today. SPS leaders need to hear #NeedsNotNumbers message. Staffing ratios are pre-covid and don't take increased needs into account. Students need stability following a year of disruption. Of interest KUOW Public Radio?

The outcomes of the JHU Center for Civil Society Studies work reflect the collective perspectives of so many research partners. Les' contribution was to find the common core and set our course forward. He wanted this Voluntas Journal article to inspire action. Take these tools and use & improve them! [1/2]

Back home after a transformational experience at #ISTR2022. My heart is full after connecting with old and new ISTR colleagues and friends. Thankyou for making the significant effort to come to Montreal. Keep in touch and hope to see you again online and in person soon.

Post-conference to-do list happy disaster. ISTR #ISTR2022

Took a hike today on Deception Creek trail. River views were incredible. Pretty hot outside, even at this elevation and despite the trail being entirely in the shade. At one point I jumped in, boots and all, and kept hiking in my wet clothes. Only saw 5 people in 6 hours.

I seem to be having a very Pacific Northwest weekend...

Is my neighborhood block party bridging or bonding social capital? Feel like I should know this.

Great to see @olreign + Intentionalist collaborate to encourage fans to #SpendLikeItMatters and support diverse local businesses! #NationwideImpactAward bit.ly/intentionalist…

In Antwerp to visit the site of #ISTR2024 at UniversityAntwerpFSW with the chair of our ISTR local host committee P. Getting very excited about plans for next July!

Watching the submissions coming into the portal at ISTR, I am humbled by the work you are doing. #ISTR2024 is going to be awesome. I can't wait to connect some dots. (I just saw similar research about feminism happening in Korea, Australia, and Argentina and got excited!)

I feel so fortunate that my job at ISTR gives me the opportunity to debate and discuss how the development of knowledge can contribute to a better future with our members around the world. I don't take a moment of it for granted.
