Serious Inquiries Only - SIO393: Dr. Alan Smerbeck on Trigger Warnings

Stormy's back! Dr. Smerbeck joins us today to discuss the current research around trigger warnings. Are they a no-brainer or are there downsides?

Consider This from NPR - Palestinians In Jordan Fear For Family Members In Gaza

Israel's military has ordered all residents of Gaza City and northern Gaza to evacuate to the southern end of the territory ahead of an expected ground invasion.
