The peer pressure component cannot be overstated in my opinion. We know how difficult it can be to change social norms and higher ed is expecting undergraduates to do this perfectly.

Tell me again how Big 10 should open football when the school pushing for this - Nebraska- has highest positive cases and incredibly limited testing structure.

Have “pro-life” Republicans expressed outrage and demanded an investigation yet into reports of immigrant women being forced to have their uteruses removed from their bodies?

Teaching freshman anything, ENG 101, Comm 101, Math 101, BIO 101, involves teaching students how to college. Leave your "they should already know this" at the door.

I've been visualizing COVID testing/cases among Big Ten Conference schools since the start of the semester. Some really interesting bits: - University of Illinois did 2.5% of all US testing on the first day of class; still doing 1% - New: Analysis on B10 resuming football: waf.cs.illinois.edu/covid-analysis/

I sent below request to chair of Big 10 Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases requesting the IRB approvals Yes, I'm doing this in public Yes, if you are on a Big 10 campus you should request the IRB approvals for this research from your office of human subjects research

This plus a little Tuskegee-flavored cherry on top: Michigan plans to study the long term health consequences of COVID in players who do become ill. Fuckuppery squared.

Which is why this analysis is accurate: waf.cs.illinois.edu/covid-analysis/

I don't know about y'all, but I can't wait to hear the answer.

The latest data from University of Illinois gives us data-forward picture of the "lockdown" success: the 7-day average number of new cases is down by more than 75% after the two-week "lockdown" from where it started. 🎉 Interactive data visualization: waf.cs.illinois.edu/covid-analysis…

Has your kid done the Draw A Scientist Test? 👩🏼‍🔬

I gave a presentation today and used such expressive gestures that my FitBit informed me that I reached 10,000 steps halfway through the talk. I was sitting.

Breonna Taylor's and Emmett Till's murders were let off scott free on the same day 65 years apart.

After Breonna was shot, her boyfriend called 911. He called because she needed help, and because he didn't think the cops would help her. He was right. They didn't. She received no medical attention until the ambulance he called arrived, 20 minutes later. I think about that alot.

I don't know about you, but every faculty member and student I've spoken with this week is completely burnt out. It's not even the end of September. What are we doing? How do we make this less ... whatever it is?
