- Last winter, one of our ducks was attacked in the evening by an opossum and Jody rushed her to an emergency vet (tucked under their arm in a canvas bag). She spent the next three weeks in our bathtub as we cleaned her wounds and gave her antibiotics, and made a full recovery 🙌🦆 #inktober day 4
- The sun should still be afraid of lawsuits, because Jody gets sun burnt very easily ☀️🔥 #inktober day 3

It's literally a vital feature of both science and of representative democracy. I've written a fair bit about trust in expertise as a vital mechanism in the collective epistemology of science.
