I have the same conversation with so many academics lately where they say something like "I just can't pay attention to the news anymore. It's too stressful. I'd rather just focus on my work." All I hear is "I feel safe in my privilege and don't care about what's happening to other people."

Can’t think of a more perfect Friday than listening to the new Bad Bunny album while imaging tissue. 😌 #happyscientist
