Tomorrow marks the start of my research seminar, "Rumor and War: History and Society in the Twentieth Century," @ehess.fr. We'll be discussing Marc Bloch on "fausses nouvelles," and I couldn't be more thrilled to be teaching his work at his intellectual home.

Cold War-era nuclear safety notice, as they still hang in most Swiss apartment buildings. (I still remember bunkers packed to the brim with emergency supplies in most Swiss residential buildings well through the '90s)

This month marks the end of almost 9 years at the @leibniz-ifz.bsky.social. Thank you to everyone who made my time there so special! I will fondly remember working at the Center for Holocaust Studies, leading the INFOCOM Project, and the many fruitful exchanges with colleagues. Auf Wiedersehen!
