In “Who Matters Most?”—by Yacine Boujija, Simona Bignami (@profSBVA), Valerie Delaunay & John Sandberg—the authors examine how networks shape internal migration flows from rural villages to Dakar, Senegal, with a focus on tie strength & social capital. ow.ly/VXb650KGWNs

@JohnHansel14 Happy birthday Emily!!!

@AndrewNoymer I completely agree and I truly do not know what we can individually do — because I am almost sure there will be little public health measures to begin with.

Winter 2022–23 is going to be a nightmare as far as covid is concerned.
