This is a shocking map. Across segments —by race & income —the South has worse credit scores than the North

2. focusing less on quantity of papers, & more on research quality,
3. taking year-long sabbaticals.

Look at how the @MTA signs for masking on public transport have changed. The MTA is now appeasing anti-maskers and spreading public health misinformation that confuses people who still want to mask.
