At my company we have a “thoughtful communication” guide[1] that addresses Slack and other communication tools. The simple rule for Slack is it’s for ephemeral or urgent communication only. All “conversation” material essentially routes thr

Hard-hitting piece, tho not a cancer survivor myself my father is. As his ambassador of sorts to the rest of my extended family I recognize the unsolicited opinion tsunami the author describes. However, the part that really caught my eye wa

I studied physics as an undergrad and then went on to get a PhD from UW (Seattle), which has required courses for physics education that all graduate students must take. With ~10 years of physics study/practice/teaching, I think t

Additional recommendation: _Talking to my daughter about the economy_, by Yanis Varoufakis. It’s a slender, engaging read that explores the history of economics and works its way to some modern day questions. In general, while learning I th
