I haven't written much about omicron, because 1) there's a lot we still don't know; 2) others have written good shit that I've been RTing; and 3) I feel like I'm repeating myself from ...everything I've written before. But maybe a few words on what's concerning me right now. 🧵

At @spotify, @kentstate alumnus Mike Bowen uses data to help guide & inspire strategy. This semester, he talked with our Emerging Media & Technology students about the growing demand for jobs in data & analysis, and how data can help solve big questions. kent.edu/emat/news/alumnus-m…
Critical race theory as a conservative talking point went through many iterations before appearing vis-a-vis K-12 schools. My analysis w/ @phillipmbailey @therealco shows it was part of a multi-year effort by conservative activists, media and strategists. usatoday.com/in-depth/news/p…

Kent State will implement a COVID-19 vaccine requirement, with exemptions considered for medical and religious/personal reasons. This requirement will be phased in over the fall semester to give everyone in our community the opportunity to get vaccinated. ow.ly/s2GR50FZEjU
