   From COVID19Tracking https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking on Twitter: Florida reported an astounding 15k cases today. No state has ever reported so many infections. Its worth remembering how few tests were available in April, which suppressed New Yorks confirmed cases. (Florida started reporting current hospitalizations this week.) https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking/status/1282431205745364992/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/66070

   For me, digital teaching starts with the flipped classroom model. Rather than subject students to an in-class lecture, they read and watch the lecture before class. Here is an example. Every hour of lecture take 3-6 hours to write/shoot/edit. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFuFjOF4zpFHfjd8TJIPk6cqlB6pjUaP6

    One of my favorite movies is "The Empire Strikes Back". I saw it when I was about 4-5 years old. I also love the radio drama of the same name, from NPR. It provides extra depth and more time to develop characters and stories. Two ways of telling the same story. Both beloved.

    This week I also learned that SMU used to have a radio station, KSMU. Anyone know when that went away (and why?). Anyone know where the broadcast facility used to be? Was it on or off campus?

    Things I learned this week: SMU used to have (ca 1968) a 2 Mega-Volt Van de Graaf Accelerator, as well as a subcritical research and teaching nuclear reactor. These were housed in what later came to be known as the Lyle School of Engineering.

    It looks like deaths - which should lag hospitalizations, which themselves lag reported cases, which themselves lag actual infections - have begun to climb. The descent of deaths in early-hit states is now offset by the rise in states currently drowning in pandemic. https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking/status/1281707538640060416
