We've acquired hammocks and despite it being regularly 90+ degrees F they are quite nice for relaxing in. I'm working my way through Queen of Science which is a memoir by Mary Somerville, a well-known scientist and scientific communicator during the 1800s. It's not the most riveting read but quite enjoyable. I also read another short story by Ted Chiang that inadvertently helped me reflect on some of my own life and actions. I'm tempted to make a sci-fi club post about it but I don't want to horn in on your thing, zebra2, especially to post an author you aren't terribly excited by! My school has at least reversed course a little and while everything is still in-person, at least they are going to require people to wear masks and provide masks for instructors to give to students who forget theirs. We'll see how that goes in practice, as I haven't seen a lot of compliance among the staff yet.
