12 inconvenient truths about schools and kids that should be considered before reopening from a teacher These are for K-12 but many apply to college. I see my colleagues grappling with many of these issues already: change of classroom, halls, etc. https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2020/07/03/12-inconvenient-truths-about-schools-kids-that-should-be-considered-before-reopening-by-teacher/ -

I guess the future phrase that historians might use to summarize this period of U.S. history is going to be ... "He golfed while America suffocated." -

So clarifying to see the head of Collin County, TX, my home county, hasn't the courage to lead in a time of crisis. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/public-health/2020/07/03/these-north-texas-counties-are-balking-at-abbotts-statewide-mask-order/ -

When it comes to new cases during a pandemic... A straight, positive-sloped line on a logarithmic plot is a bad sign (it signals exponential growth). An exponential, positive-curved line on a log-plot is ... the stuff of nightmares. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/public-health/2020/07/03/dallas-county-reports-over-1000-new-coronavirus-cases-in-new-single-day-high-during-what-officials-say-is-the-deadliest-week-of-the-outbreak-so-far/ https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1279180687355138048/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/65889 -

<sarcasm> Nice to see Tarrant County taking a pleasant holiday weekend from disseminating health data on COVID-10. Because the virus will probably take a few days off, so why not? </sarcasm> https://www.dallasnews.com/news/public-health/2020/07/03/dallas-county-reports-over-1000-new-coronavirus-cases-in-new-single-day-high-during-what-officials-say-is-the-deadliest-week-of-the-outbreak-so-far/ -

Tested out of "Canvas LMS training" the other day. Irony: the quiz to test out checks only rote memorization of technical details (like how to load an image into a page), rather than on demonstrating how you learn to use Canvas, or on translating a course into Canvas. Sigh. -

"USC reverses robust fall reopening plans, asks students to stay home for online classes." USC has traditionally been upheld as an institution to which my own "aspires." Let's see if that is still true. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-07-02/usc-will-move-most-undergraduate-classes-online-cancels-reopening -

Science is better when we open our doors to immigrants All should be welcomed, encouraged, supported to engage in science. Our institutions in general do not do this. Fostering rewarding a culture aimed at this goal would be a good start. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/06/25/science-is-better-when-we-open-our-doors-immigrants/ -

"The vegetable aisle" We are taking our home garden a bit more seriously this year. The pandemic, and poor health practices by shoppers at the local grocery store, have made it more important to offset time spent in the aisles by planting at home.

We went inside Parklands COVID unit during its worst week as coronavirus cases spike in North Texas To paraphrase the writer, better walking around alert with a piece of cloth on your face than a tube down your throat under heavy sedation. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/commentary/2020/06/28/we-went-inside-parklands-covid-unit-during-its-worst-week-as-coronavirus-cases-spike-in-north-texas/ -

Kudlow: Were like, 1.5% growth...that number was...45% months ago....[as if] your stock portfolio increasing in value from $10M to $10.1M is less important than when it increased from $50 to $75. That 50% jump in value...resulted in $25, not $100,000. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/06/25/ridiculous-coronavirus-denialism-trumps-top-economic-adviser/ -
