A really tough one. For me Royal Tenenmbaums is the greater movie but I remember seeing Rushmore when it came out and it was so delightful and like nothing I'd really ever seen before. It's hard to pick against it.

Team: I am sorry to report that RRCHNM is eliminating my position in late August. That means I am in the hunt for new full-time and consulting opportunities in history, public history, and podcast production. Have a lead? Please let me know!

And yes, Worlds Turned Upside Down will continue.

Not sure, but be might a flower trait to produce aromas to attract animals to spread pollen and we just happen to smell it too. I do know that not all traits have a direct evolutionary purpose. As long as they're not disadvantageous they'll stick around.

As someone who completed the course work for this program while working full time & enrolled in a MA program, I highly recommend this graduate certificate to anyone interested in DH! Everything is part time and online, even the internship credits, making it flexible while being incredibly enriching.
