   From SMU https://twitter.com/SMU on Twitter: Good morning, Mustangs! As we get the semester underway with more Zoom calls, who would like to mix up their backgrounds? We have a couple options for you. Let's start with some of our campus buildings. https://twitter.com/SMU/status/1298268830490271749/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/67202

   Zoom outages disrupt first day of online classes for many schools and universities Yep. This is why I stressed the importance of being ready to support both synchronous and asynchronous learning. Systems fail. Good teaching is resilient to such shocks https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/zoom-outages-disrupt-first-day-of-online-classes-for-many-schools-and-universities/2020/08/24/5caf1494-e61e-11ea-bc79-834454439a44_story.html

   To illustrate how insanely poor the COVID-19 data quality is in Texas right now... ... my county, Collin, has a disclaimer on all data from the state and has reported 0 cases for 3 straight days . ... same size county (Denton) next door? >100 cases per day for same period....!

   Applause to the @SMUDedman facilities director for the artful and detailed job on floor traffic flow arrows in Fondren Science Building.

   Managed a lovely 7 mile run today, part of which was through Hoblitzelle Park in Plano. We are very lucky to have this nice early-morning weather in August here in North Texas.

    Student papers say administrators share blame for virus outbreaks: Dont make us write obituaries Campus reopening policies have often been weak enough that they clearly set up the students to take the final blame. No. Bad policy is makers fault. https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2020/08/21/student-newspapers-coronavirus/
