@PME_Politics @astro_meganne Thank you for your posts last night; you kept some of us in Coach 7 amused during the more absurd moments.

Hope the rest of your journey is/was uneventful!

I knew Modern Family would eventually provide content relevant to my work! This is a fab explanation of why, when I've run LEGO Serious Play sessions at international conferences and seminars, the non-native English particpants frequently tell me that it…https://t.co/y4nZd278Oy

Real science-y research on the impact of running back to back video meetings on Teams with electrodes stuck on brains and everything. Its findings were to be expected; it's recommendations only partially useful.
