麻豆传媒色情片

At the 麻豆传媒色情片 and 麻豆传媒色情片 Biology, we love to read as much as we love to write. We also love to talk about what we’re reading. Our office is always buzzing (either with not-so-hushed voices or the ping of email delivery notifications) as we share the inspiring, emotionally compelling, fascinating or simply funny articles or videos we can’t put down or stop watching/scrolling through. So, we figured, why not keep the conversation going?

Here’s a compilation of what our staff has been reading this week. Enjoy, and feel free to tweet us () your thoughts.

Like a lot of Americans, I wear a Fitbit basically 24-7. Even when I'm not on a fitness kick (read: lazy), I like that my model receives text messages and tracks my sleep. Several months ago, my husband and I binged some true crime shows, and one memorable case included evidence from an ill-fated young woman's fitness tracker.  When police got the tracker's GPS data, they could see the teen's frantic zigzags along a running trail as she tried, but failed, to evade her murderer. That episode got me thinking a lot, and talking a lot, about the role of these devices in criminal cases going forward. The other day, my husband, proving that he listens to me better than I listen to him, sent me the story I'm sharing with you here. It's about another murder case that relied, to some degree, on Fitbit data.

 In late December, the U.S. National Library of Medicine shuttered Toxmap, a free, interactive interface that did exactly what its name purports: mapped toxic sites of varying severity across the country by aggregating pollution data from at least a dozen government sources. The abrupt retiring of the program, which was launched in 2004, overhauled in 2018 and powered by more than 30 years of federal environmental legislation, stunned environmentalists and academics.

Take a dive into Swiss Style, born of the Bauhaus, De Stijhl and The New Typography. Daring during the time of its inception, Swiss Style over time has managed to remain daring but is now also classic. One example: All the signage in New York City (and many, many other places) uses Helvetica, an offshoot of Swiss typography. I love this style for its use of the grid and unmatched readability, while it still floats somewhat free on the page, and the letterforms can’t be beat. Enjoy!

 (Anemona Hartocollis, The New York Times)

This article has been controversial among people who care about harassment in science. It explores the death by suicide of Dartmouth psychology department chair David Bucci, not long after the college settled a lawsuit with graduate students who were abused by other professors in the department. According to the article, Bucci’s family considers him “a casualty of a scorched-earth legal strategy.” (People who have followed the case may remember that Dartmouth’s litigation strategy of moving to remove the plaintiffs’ public anonymity was also .) Hartocollis doesn’t offer any answers, and I don’t have any either. But it’s a sensitive, moving report that shows vividly that the consequences of sexual abuse in academia are felt beyond the direct victims.

When I volunteered with a local raptor rehabilitation conservancy, one question we often heard was, “What makes a bird a raptor?” It’s hard to distill decades of ornithological debate into a quick answer, but Kenn Kaufman does a great job of covering it. He also links to the recently published commentary in the , which is another great read if folks are interested in a more in-depth discussion.
