Good afternoon. For those who have recently subscribed to this newsletter, I ordinarily write on a wide range of topics, but mostly things related to environmentalism, broadly speaking. I also usually have a “Quick Hits” section at the end, where I briefly review several interesting papers or items in the news; I plan to resume this next month. For Lent this year, I am doing a seven part series on the deadly sins, and after Easter (March 31 this year) I plan to get back to more worldly topics. This is part 4, sloth, which happens to be a personal favorite of mine. The next three topics, in order, will be avarice, gluttony, and lust.
