At some point we should discuss why it takes six weeks to get an ebook from the library and who it serves. Spoiler: it ain’t the library, and it ain’t you.

in 2020 my lab quit Microsoft Word and began writing in R Markdown, an open-source document-publishing system that facilitates a clear, permanent link between statements in text (scientific prose) and the code producing analyses and visualizations supporting those statements (scientific analyses)

The long-term effects of parental singing remain unclear, however. In an offsetdesign exploratory 10-week randomized trial conducted in 2023 (N = 110 families of infants, Mage = 3.67 months, 53% female, 73% White), the study manipulated the frequency of infant-directed singing via a music enrichment intervention. Results, measured by smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA), show that infant-directed singing causes general post-intervention improvements to infant mood, but not to caregiver mood. The findings show the feasibility of longitudinal EMA (retention: 92%; EMA response rate: 74%) of infants and the potential of longer-term and higherintensity music enrichment interventions to improve health in infancy.

The end result is that US nonprofits need to make it easy for DAF users to give, and to promote themselves to DAF users. DAFs make it easy to set up recurring donations, which is great for nonprofits. But it is a change in how people give in the US.

@danyork.bsky.social

Something else to note is that DAFs have dramatically changed giving in the U.S. over the past 5 years or so. Companies like Fidelity Charitable and Schwab have made it easy and with no amount requirements. So DAFs are no longer only for the ultra-rich… and they have many advantages.

They took memory cards and sold us cloud storage. They took CDs and DVDs and sold us streaming. They took software you bought once and turned it into a monthly subscription. Corporate America figured out the real money wasn’t in selling you something. It was making sure you NEVER actually own it.

25 years after what we in the USA would come to just know as “9-11”, I can still remember where I was that morning when I got a phone call telling me to turn on the news….. I think that is probably true of most of us who were alive then. It was a day to remember. 😢

One Class In High School That Changed My Life – And I Almost Didn’t Take It It's funny how decisions you may make in the moment can affect the course of your life. It was the fall of 1984 and I was signing up for classes for my last semester at my high school in southern Connecticut. I had one…

A Livestream of Dragon Boats – and the magic of the Internet! This weekend I was reminded again of just how amazing this Internet we've all built together really is! There I was at 6:00am in my house in Vermont ... drinking my cup of tea and watching my wife and her team compete in dragon boat…
