As a high schooler downtown on 9/11, this looks very cool as an article and resonates both because I saw the dust at the time and for months afterward along with knowing people who are sick. Also reached the stage where events in my life are history. Guess I'm officially "old." 🤷♂️

Some of you may be interested in this symposium on 'truth-telling' (in its many guises) being held at the University of Melbourne this week. Students and mob can attend for free, Unimelb staff get a 20% discount, and unwaged scholars get a 75% discount. I will be there for some of Friday's sessions!

A fascinating thread on Watson, from an expert historian - though I wonder if farce would be a more effective motif than tragedy
Okay, here are some first reflections on Watson.
Watson's life is a tragedy, really of Shakespearean proportions. He did not, as most bios will tell you, do one great thing when he was young and then collect laurels for it for the next 60 years. His career arc was unlike any in science.

Shocked to learn that Alison Isenberg has died, far too young. What a terrible loss. A lovely person and an outstanding urban historian. I first met her when we were graduate students at Penn, around 35 years ago. My condolences to her family
Alison Isenberg, distinguished urban historian and co-founder of Princeton-Mellon Initiative in Architecture, Urbanism and the Humanities, dies
A public memorial and celebration of Isenberg’s life will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 6, at the University Chapel.
