I had a chat with Alisha Wainwright for a Wellcome Trust podcast about the challenges of achieving sustainable diets and their potential for health benefits. It was fun. If you listen to podcasts then you could listen to this podcast.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

Opinion | We Study Fascism at Yale. We’re Leaving the U.S.
