As Seen on the Interwebs

A few things that caught my eye….
First, US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy came out with this stunner today. We saw it coming a few months ago — and I have actually reduced the amount of wine I drink in a week, say — but this explicit link to cancer is not fun news. For comparison, I’d like to see the cancer risk at zero drinks per week.. or something less than 1 drink per week. I’d also like to understand the cumulative impact over a lifetime. Sure this’ll be coming up a lot in the days/weeks/months to come. Stay tuned.
Given the many, many conversations we’ve had with Peter in the past few months about his post PhD choices, I thought this was apropos (and funny, not funny)!
I do love optical illusions. In this first one, the two trees are the same color (I love that!)…
And in this second one, all the columns are parallel (really! get out your straight edge).
Finally, I love this graphic artist (Barbara Galinska). I’ve posted her work before because I think it’s so clever. And, of course, the message is lovely.
