By far my favourite thing is people who imagine a coordinated academic cabal to squash dissent. Academics couldn't coordinate to order sandwiches for a meeting.

Amid America's #COVID19 disaster, I must come clean about a lie I spread as a health insurance exec: We spent big $$ to push the idea that Canada's single-payer system was awful & the U.S. system much better. It was a lie & the nations' COVID responses prove it. The truth: (1/6)

A moose made an appearance in a #Saskatoon neighbourhood yesterday at lunch. It made it out of the city safely, according to the #Sask ministry of environment #yxe

I'm sadly not surprised at all by this fact - but I am shocked that I'd never heard it before. This is why we need system-wide change, people. Individual actions are woefully insufficient to fix the problem. (short thread) h/t @meehancrist Source: https://t.co/fYDMd0b5db

I just learned about the sudden passing of Misha Voloshin, one of the great high-energy theorists of the past 50 years. He was someone I came to like and admire very much while I was a grad student at Minnesota.

Here is a commemoration by his colleague Misha Shifman:

BREAKING: A week before Inauguration Day 2017, Trump team participated in a tabletop exercise with outgoing Obama team about preparing for a "major domestic incident"

One incident discussed was a pandemic. I participated in that exercise.

@MorrellAndrews Eat good tacos is pretty much my mission statement.

Great advice. These are uncharted waters.

Not true, @realDonaldTrump. I wrote to you more than 600 days ago demanding answers after you fired the entire White House pandemic team.

[Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche]

My Q: You said you don’t take responsibility for slow response to coronavirus but your administration disbanded the White House office on pandemics?

President Trump: “That’s a nasty question...When you say me, I didn't do it. We have a group of people [in the administration].”

[Jason Ho @hojasonn]

A reminder: "...CDC official Nancy Messonnier correctly warned on Feb. 25 that a U.S. coronavirus outbreak was inevitable... Trump himself grew angry and administration officials discussed muzzling Messonnier for the duration of the coronavirus crisis... " https://t.co/Ur251qs4tz

Students: When your professor says you can’t have an extension because you have to learn to stick to deadlines to prepare for professional life, ask them how their referee reports are going

Hey @usasksheaf, was it someone's intentional decision to not distribute this article via the @usask PAWS page, or did I somehow miss it? Seems like all the other opinion pieces this month have been posted, but not this one.
