FINALLY finished Richard Ellis - Tuna: love, death, and Mercury. I started this book like 6 months ago if not then before that? it's a good book, but I just haven't been reading books anymore! also, seriously, stop eating tuna. for many reasons, the ocean's health and your health, mostly.
social distancing plus my google account nearly running out of space means lots of reading this month!

"You’ve tweeted about the extensive guidelines that Alibaba founder Jack Ma put out to help combat the spread of COVID-19. What did you learn from reading those guidelines?"
"We don’t have the capacity to do a fraction of the things they are suggesting. Across the country, we’re not testing health care workers regularly and we’re not “cohorting” them like they did in China. The report recommends keeping health care workers away from their families—intrafamily transmission is 80%. When you live in the same house as a health care worker, you can be considered exposed. I moved my kids out of the city before I saw a single patient because my son had a liver transplant. They’re now living with my parents. In China they even had “halfway house” programs to reintegrate health care workers back into their families. They would move into these facilities for 14 days to make sure they were not contagious. They would test them multiple times."
The Conversation - How knowledge about different cultures is shaking the foundations of psychology
"Consider which two of these objects go together: a panda, a monkey and a banana.
...... you think about it!!! ......
"Respondents from Western countries routinely select the monkey and the panda, because both objects are animals. This is indicative of an analytic thinking style, in which objects are largely perceived independently from their context.
"In contrast, participants from Eastern countries will often select the monkey and the banana, because these objects belong in the same environment and share a relationship (monkeys eat bananas). This is a holistic thinking style, in which object and context are perceived to be interrelated."
