Early in the Covid pandemic, I made a donation to folding@home to help them analyse the virus. #WashU started mailing me regularly, as if I were an alumnus. I asked them to stop.
Today, out of the blue, they mailed me to ask if I wanted to start receiving mail again. Talk about missing the point!
I sent them a #GDPR erasure request and a link to the ICO's Web site. WashU is now obliged to delete my data, not only from live systems but from backups as well. Let's see how they choke on that.
Dean of WashU’s College of Arts & Sciences, Feng Sheng Hu, told faculty at a meeting on Tuesday that Chancellor Andrew D. Martin does not plan to sign the Trump administration’s compact for higher education in its current form, according to five faculty in attendance.
Here is a portrait of Betha Whitlow, the driving force behind WashU’s Digital Art History Lab (DAHL).
Once a slide curator, she digitized vast collections and helped make her own role obsolete — paving the way for DAHL, which now trains and empowers students in digital art history. Whitlow is celebrated not only for her innovation but also for her mentorship and advocacy for staff and students alike.

As director of the Digital Art History Lab, Betha Whitlow provides work experiences to students that are both fruitful and fairly compensated. She wants the same for her Washington University in St. Louis colleagues. On the Danforth Staff Council, she successfully advocated for parental leave.
#WashU's Caleb Durbin is playing his 10th game against the #stlcards of his career.
He's doubled. He's homered. And overall he's batting 12 for 28 (.429) in those games. Plus, he's reached base more times (18) than the #Cardinals have gotten him out (16).

Saw this at the current exhibit at Wash U's Kemper Art Museum. The whole exhibit is about seeds and the art is lovely, but this really stunned me. The drawers are full of seeds taken from plants growing locally, which you can take.
