March 2020 Friday’s e-links: Gender Norms, Hotel Habits, the Great Stink, and a Good Mystery

Last updated 3/27/20

Every once in a while, (and sometimes each day) I listen to a great podcast, enjoy an article, or see a good video that I want to share with you.

For some diversion, I enjoy a good mystery like the Elizabeth George book I am now listening to each evening. The Punishment She Deserves is the Audible version of a “page turner.” It is excellent. Please let me know if you have a recommendation for my next mystery.

Perhaps, like me, you’ve never heard of The Great Stink of 1858. And also, perhaps, you needed a break from the coronavirus news. If your answers are yes, then do take a look at this fast moving, cleverly expressed 10-minute report on the Great Stink. The Great Stink was a disaster that had a happy ending.

A bit of diversion from a world in turmoil, this CBS News report tells us what we take home from hotel rooms. The list includes a whopper of a surprise…mattresses!

I recommend taking a look at the UN’s 2020 Human Development Report on gender norms. Chock full of up-to-date facts, it provides a reality check about the gender gap through a social norms lens that is current and historical. It is an example of a 36-page report that combines many facts with thought-provoking conclusions.
