Hello! It's been so long since I last sent one of these! I was in eastern Europe for a couple of weeks and the trip was somewhat more adventurous than I had been bargaining for - I ended up visiting hospitals in Transnistria, Ukraine and Moldova. There's a blog with photos here - I'm biased but I'd like to think it's an interesting read! I didn't think I would come back as an expert on rabies AND be able to understand Cyrillic, but there you go.I also went to the exclusion zone near Chernobyl which was... phenomenal. We stood 200 metres from the sarcophagus which was the weirdest feeling, and of course, we snuck into some of the buildings in Pripyat. I'll write about that later.First, some non-data links that I thought were interesting:Bats argue about food, personal space, and where they sleepThe blood plasma industry in the US exploits poor peopleTech bros and 'dopamine fasting'This week's Fair Warning will be a bit longer; sorry in advance.
