#OTD 6 July 1886 Marc Léopold Benjamin Bloch was born. Bloch became a historian & founding member of the Annales School, perhaps the most influential historical group ever. He served in WW2 & later in the Resistance before the Germans captured & executed him by firing squad. His work on medieval France were remarkably influential while his posthumous works The Historian's Craft and Strange Defeat are classics.

As of June 2023, 1 in 20 educators has #LongCovid. (This is from a representative study - a reliable number).
Let's hope these "highly-placed sources" know what they're talking about:
'Should events go as expected, the deal will come as a huge relief to the scientific community. Many of the UK's leading researchers have been left in limbo over the future of their world-leading research projects and in some cases their own jobs and those of their teams.'
'In fact, in many areas, the experience of cancer care is actually getting worse, intensifying the physical, emotional, and financial suffering of patients and families. This is especially true for people who already face socio-economic disparities and barriers to care and who may, as a result, experience delays in screening, difficulty securing stable housing or even paying for medicine, and lack of access to nutritious food, among other challenges.'
“Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty”
By Patrick Radden Keefe
This isn’t your typical light-hearted summer reading fare. In this book, Keefe meticulously details how reckless ambition, careless indifference for the well-being of others, greed, and sheer narcissism not only within the Sackler family, but also within the pharmaceutical and health care industries, opened the door to one of the most devastating crises in this era. Honestly, the story made me angry. But the narrative details regarding the Sackler family history were incredibly captivating. As most states and cities, including Boston, are deeply engaged in determining the use of opioid remediation funding, I highly recommend this book as motivational summer reading.

'The date is June 26, 1988. A one-way conversation from Larry Kramer to Tony Fauci via the written word, in The San Francisco Examiner, reflecting a booming voice before I even knew him: “I Call You Murderers,” the headline read. “An open letter to an incompetent idiot, Dr. Anthony Fauci,” it continued. Fast-forward 32 years to May 2020: A brief two-way telephone conversation ending in a simple phrase. Larry, in a voice halting and weakened by years of a series of chronic illnesses, whispering, “I love you, Tony.” Tony holding back the tears, replying, “I love you, too, Larry.”
