John Brown was known for his militant tactics in the fight against slavery while Frederick Douglass, the slave who became a powerful orator & writer, used the power of words and alliances to end that barbarous practice. Although the two men shared the same goal, their approaches were vastly different, and their relationship was often strained. In fact, John Brown's actions almost got Frederick Douglass killed.

It's really not complicated

Apple’s anti-remote policy allows them to legally discriminate against both disabled and older applicants.

- many disabled people are fully qualified to do a job, yet can’t be in an office environment.
- older applicants often have established families that are impossible to relocate. Owned housing. Spouses/partners with established careers.

Being remote doesn’t disqualify you from being able to do many Apple jobs. I was fully remote for 12 years at Apple. Pre-webex. It was never an issue

How the virus that causes COVID-19 can infect and damage the placenta.

SARS-CoV-2 infection caused significant reduction in the survival and differentiation of syncytiotrophoblast cells, which led to lower production of the human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG) - needed for early pregnancy maintenance.

“In our research we found no age was the right age to be a woman leader. There was always an age-based excuse to not take women seriously, to discount their opinions, or to not hire or promote them. Each individual woman may believe she’s just at the wrong age, but the data make the larger pattern clear. Any age can be stigmatized by supervisors and colleagues to claim that the woman is not valued or is not a fit for a leadership role.”

Your annual reminder: mid-summer is way too early to get a #flu shot.
Got a press release today from GSK announcing it has started shipping flu vaccine doses. You may start seeing signs in pharmacies about availability soon. Better to be vaxed closer to when flu starts spreading.

Here's a strange insect unknown to most non-entomologists: the pygmy mole cricket. Tridactylidae: Neotridactylus apicalis. I photographed this one at the Stengl Lost Pines field station in Bastrop, Texas.
