Since Last We Spoke 7-16-12

I’m in Nashville, TN today for what I anticipate will be some great conversation on issues such as medical testimony and sustainability. Travel always gives me a time to catch up on some reading (I try very hard not to work on planes–this is one self-care activity that I’m pretty good at. Working in airports is another matter altogether.), so here’s a diverse lineup of articles I’ve been perusing since last we spoke:
