Maybe this is crazy. But a woman who built herself up from being a homeless child to an accomplished physician, seems preferable to a man born into the privileges of private education and frequent international family vacations but never learned decency.

David Reznick, Joe Travis, and I wrote an obituary in rememberance of Robert Ricklefs. He was one of the premier ecologists of our time. His textbook influences generations of students. He was my advisor during the late 1970's and early 1980's. nature.com/articles/s41559-0…

College campuses need to be liberated from their administrators - The Boston Globe

Higher ed is being strangled by absurd and costly rules. What message is that sending to students?

"Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride." -Anthony Bourdain
