John B. Hench: historian of print, major domo of AAS research programs, first scholar who bonded with me over old newspapers, set the mold for running a fellowship program: supportive in every sense, snobbish in none. The Worcester diaspora will miss him.

So @Shell abandons their climate targets & net zero goals this week & announces they will expand fossil fuel production & Canada (while our country is on 🔥) hosts their international board meeting & tours them as a “reliable partner in building a “green economy”?! 🤦♀️
Pleased to host with my colleague @JonathanWNV @Shell’s first global Board of Directors meeting in Canada.
With a strong and historic presence in our country, Shell is our reliable partner. Together, we can and will pave the way for tomorrow's green economy.

sad for students who want to discover books beyond textbooks assigned for their courses.
Princeton's Firestone Library has 7 million books which may be a bit more than most undergraduates will be perusing in four years; but soon, Vermont state universities will have zero books.

This is the first in-person Boston Book Fair since 2019. The drive out to come to the fair has become a lovely if melancholy topographical necrology, where driving past any given landmark reminds me of colleagues who used to be on my regular trade route before a Boston show —
