Paging @mattyglesias to amplify. He had some good recent ideas about where to get railroad management expertise from. (Hint: not cargo rail, not air travel)
A TV show I would love to watch is a railway construction crew is brought in from Spain or Finland to the US and has to work with an American crew on some railway project. Lots of scenes where inefficiencies are surfaced and the foreigners shake their heads in disbelief

I'm getting very tired of reading news about Prob(Vaccinated | Infected) rather than Prob(Infected | Vaccinated).

14 student scholars from around the country participated in the first annual Blackwell Summer Scholars Program at @Illinois_Alma this summer. The scholars worked on research projects, attended seminars, and worked with faculty mentors during the program.

Following up on his 'Fifth Risk', I now read 'The Premonition' by Michael Lewis. The books make a good pair, but the latter one is even more frustrating in detailing just how we failed to respond (in time, and at scale) this thread. And yet we're still in this battle.

Finally read this, cover to cover, in a day, a few years after it came out. Michael Lewis has an unparallel ability to weave stories together. This collection of three essays has a really strong common theme of trust in science, public service and the power of data. Recommended.
