OK, tried out a new unit in my intro to philosophy class, and it is my new favorite unit: "Are Grades Bullshit?"

I have never seen intro students more intensely engaged, more edge-of-their-seat, and more mind-blown.

Wonder how parents of under 5yos are feeling right now? Here are 1300 single spaced pages of feelings (results from a survey run by @ProfEmilyOster). https://t.co/SWi3UNhRsF

@jayjum So much this - the lack of guidance for families with unvaccinated kids under 5 is astounding.

Something about seeing the Olin Conductorless Orchestra set-up this morning feels a bit… normal, maybe? It’s been so long since I’ve heard OCO play. Excited to fill the campus with people for Olin Family Weekend!

Fun facts about @OlinCollege:

2.9% of Olin alumni are venture capital-backed startup founders

0.1% have done a 60 Minutes interview and testified in front of Congress in the same week

Got a little teary eyed on that one. @franceshaugen

[Jessica Townsend @professicat]

This happening now - worth a listen if you have time this morning.

[Frances Haugen @FrancesHaugen]

I’ll be testifying to the Senate tomorrow at 10a ET / 7a PT about @Instagram and @Facebook's impacts on children and society at large.
