“The average American eats 20 pounds of seafood each year—about three-fourths of which is imported. New tariffs will increase prices for and reduce consumption…. That could pit Americans' heart health against their wallets.” Op-ed today by Marty Smith www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/hidd...

If you like knowledge and life-saving medical research, if you like the vistas that higher education opens for young people, if you like campus life in all its messy glory... and also college sports, THEN this is the moment we have to talk about the true madness of what's happening in DC presently.

Let's use #MarchMadness to reflect on why our society needs robust colleges and universities. We won't have colleges and universities if the Musk/Trump Admin eliminates grants for essential research, destroys the financial aid system, and censors free thought and expression on campuses.

You've got 64 teams, the vast majority of which are public, community-serving, primarily non-elite students. Every single one of them is at risk. If you love college sports, you've got to defend our colleges and universities! Some of these schools may not exist to play in next year's tourney.

I’m thrilled to share that Native Nations has won the Bancroft Prize www.nytimes.com/2025/03/05/a...

Need a distraction from Election Day news coverage? The N American continent is approx 160 million years old, yet we tend to focus on 3300 millionths of that history, the period between 1492-present. @kathleenduval.bsky.social asks us to widen our view to 1,000 years of N American history.
