@bich Always a problem. There is always enough praise to go around; It is not finite like a sum of money...In meetings, inspections, and so on, if there was praise to be had....I pointed at the person or team. If there was heat, I took that, but we analyzed reasoning after the fact. In short: my job was to train my relief....many of those young folks are in the health department I left behind. 
@rohini I liked google keep for student teams; collaborators can see changes quickly, color coding for specific tasks/projects, alerts for time or location, use of links....
Well done. Take the rest of the day off...

Multiple vaccines offer benefits beyond protecting the vaccinated individual from the disease the vaccine targets. Some protect fetuses in the womb, some protect people who are immunocompromised, some protect seniors. As vax rates fall, these benefits are threatened. https://www.statnews.com/2026/03/19/vaccine-success-widespread-hidden-benefits-make-skepticism-possible/
