Campus shootings shatter people's sense of safety. No one really knows what to do next. There's an impulse to move forward, to get back to routines. But when? How? @katebellows tells the story of a professor who spent 7+ years trying to figure that out: chronicle.com/article/the-tr…

After a Campus Shooting, What Does It Mean to Move On?

Colleges have to deal with buildings marred by violence. People have to deal with the trauma. A professor’s story illustrates that painful reality.

. @bylenasun was right: @CDCgov is dropping its advice that people with #Covid isolate for 5 days. It's now recommending people with Covid, #flu, #RSV, etc stay home till they've gone 24 hours with improving symptoms and without a fever. statnews.com/2024/03/01/cdc-…

CDC eases isolation guidance for Covid and other respiratory illnesses

The CDC said Friday that people who have Covid only need to stay at home until they are fever-free for 24 hours and their symptoms have improved for the same period of time.

New by me —> Asking people to “do the research” on fake news stories — to google around, looking for confirmation or debunking — makes the stories seem more believable, not less. niemanlab.org/2024/01/asking…

Asking people to “do the research” on fake news stories makes them seem more believable, not less

A new study asked thousands to evaluate the accuracy of news articles — both real and fake — by doing some research online. But for many, heading to Google led them farther from the truth, not closer.

If @jbenton wanted me to do a @NiemanLab prediction, it would be that science journalism will soon have its “Defector moment.” In short order, you will probably see science/enviro journalists experimenting w the subs-first coop model of Defector, 404 Media, Aftermath, etc. – at Washington, DC

the fact that publications are divesting in science journalism at a time when science journalism has never been more important makes me real queasy
