The Red Meat Rethink - WSJ | Opinion
Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health warned that the conclusions could “erode public trust in scientific research.”
I disagree. Our body of knowledge is always growing. Updating based on new evidence strengthens trust and credibility.

Book Review: Mutiny on Board HMS Bounty 📚🚸
October 3,2019This was one of my favorite books growing up, so I was glad to share it with my kids. I read it aloud to them over meals and afternoons on the couch.
When I finished the book, my five year old summarized it in this way, “That was a cool book.”
Would I recommend: YES

The Chaos of Weather Forecasts - WSJ
If the weather forecast is wrong, we might be tempted to blame the meteorologists, but it could be the fault of the mathematics.
A nice primer, but I could go for a deeper dive into the subject.

The dense app grid on iPadOS is too much for me, but you can’t get Today View on the home screen without it. That doesn’t make sense to me.

Book Review: The Art of War 📚
October 2,2019I’m not a military scientist or historian, but I do enjoy reading military history. The Art of War is a notable work and I finally sat down to read it.
The book was short, straightforward, and shockingly modern. Tzu’s advice has stood the test of time because he focused on the nature of man and his relationship with combat.
I know that there are many modern works that try to take The Art of War and apply it to one’s work or career, but I’m not sure how well those analogies stand up. In addition, the types of asymmetrical warfare that we now see in the current era requires the modern military scientist to adapt the principles, rather than the raw text.
If warfare is your trade, then this is a book for you. If not, you can take a pass.
Would I recommend: NO
