I'm a human ecologist and president of the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine. I'm an alumnus of COA as well -- class of '92.

“There’s no bad weather, just bad gear” … here in Maine I’ve said that to myself so many times … but holy heck, this weather has been tough on the psyche!

M Dowd in @nytimes - We can’t deal with artificial intelligence unless we cultivate and educate the non-artificial intelligence that we already possess.

No longer an experiment…but always experimental!

@JennyBoylan As a bald guy who wishes he could have hair of any color, … I don’t know, I’m just jealous you have hair!

Read the piece and then the key conclusion from the authors of the research: “The high risk of bias in the trials, variation in outcome measurement, and relatively low adherence with the interventions during the studies hampers drawing firm conclusions.”

Today’s @nytimes features an opinion piece by @BretStephen_NYT on the inefficacy of masking.

[Darron Collins @humanecologist]

His message only exacerbates the schismogenesis between “maskers” and “non-maskers” … it’s just a lot more complicated.

[Darron Collins @humanecologist]

Just play the damn game
