Every day, I spend some time browsing through my web content aggregator, skimming or reading through articles or reports or beautiful bits of the internet. I tend to share what resonates with me on my LinkedIn feed, because why not share inspiration? But like with any social feed, the items you post tend to disappear from view after a week or so with the algorithm. This weekly digest is a way to curate and expand on the posts that were shared throughout the week with my network on LinkedIn, and maybe include articles or other ideas that weren't.

We should encourage people to dream about the end of this pandemic by talking about it more, and more concretely: the numbers, how's, and whys. Offering clear guidance on how this will end can help strengthen people’s resolve to endure whatever is necessary for the moment — even if they are still unvaccinated — by building warranted and realistic anticipation of the pandemic’s end.
Came across this Social Ecosystem Map via one of the wonderful Good Food Jobs newsletters. I like the simplicity of the ecosystem as well as the easy breakdown of the different roles and the prompts to activate each.
