#Sidney's Picks: Safari Junkets, Sketchy Science, and the Triangle Fire
- I’m not even going to try to paraphrase this headline, it’s too good: “The Congressman, the Safari King, and the Woman Who Tried to Look Like a Cat.”
- What do hate groups think of Jennifer Lawrence? Vice investigates.
- A tale of big science, sketchy stats, and suicide at Johns Hopkins.
- On March 25, 1911, a fire swept through the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in Greenwich Village, killing 146 people in 18 minutes. The fire galvanized a movement for workers’ rights and workplace safety that continues today. Join Workers United, the New York Fire Department and New York public school children to commemorate the 102nd anniversary of the Triangle Fire: Wednesday, March 20, 12:00-1:00 at the corner of Washington Place & Greene St.
