This is the cool work I get to do–interviewing families about their stories and memories. Or as someone put it today, "getting up into everyone's chili."

I am delighted the Commission on Presidential Debates has selected the University of Utah as the host of the 2020 vice presidential debate. What an opportunity for us to showcase our state and for our students to experience this vital part of the political process. @Debates #UtahDebate2020

It's International #EpilepsyDay! My children's book, based on my daughter's experience, features a scrappy 3rd grader facing a new #epilepsy diagnosis. I hope it appeals to those who live with #seizures and educates those who know nothing about them. International Epilepsy Day Epilepsy Foundation of America

OUT TODAY! Why this? Why now? Because it's fun and funny. It's about bravely facing difficulties we did not choose. It celebrates everyday heroes like the ones keeping us safe. Because it reminds us that sometimes the smallest acts are the most heroic. bit.ly/2Jd56WE

OUT TODAY!

Why this? Why now? 

Because it's fun and funny. It's about bravely facing difficulties we did not choose. It celebrates everyday heroes like the ones keeping us safe. Because it reminds us that sometimes the smallest acts are the most heroic.

We stand today with the family of George Floyd as they hold services for him in Minneapolis. The wrong idea has taken root in the world. And the idea is this: there just might be some lives out there that matter less than other lives. Full message here: bit.ly/WeStandToday

My husband just said "It's not working from home so much as living at work" and if that's not the best description of all this I don't know what is.

My colleague ⁦Rachel Martin⁩ wrote this incredible essay about the moment her son disappeared over a waterfall that is about love and compassion and connection (and yes, visceral fear). It is a beautiful story for this moment. theatlantic.com/family/archive…

I was invited to write about oral history interviews with family members for the Ancestry® blog, and of course, I had a lot to say. I hope you'll ask questions about your own family history this holiday season. blogs.ancestry.com/cm/the-holiday… Ancestry
