Week 5, Day 5

This week you’ll be hearing from another field-leading researcher and presenting your work on your projects thus far!

There is two tasks to do today:

• Prepare for Dr. Ron Savage’s talk next week, which is Monday at 12:00 PST.

  • Read this chapter on Pediatrics and Adolescents that Dr. Savage co-wrote with Dr Janet Tyler.

  • Read this article As fewer kids played football, hospitals saw a big drop in ER visits which Dr. Savage recommended.

  • Read Dr. Savage’s bio - he is on our professional advisory board. For context, Ron is the first person that we sent our first-ever Concussion Update newsletter to, for feedback. His enthusiasm for the newsletter helped us decide to go ahead with it.

• Read over this very cool guide, Compound’s Lightweight Guide to Editing. The guide was created by Stew Fortier, who tweeted “I’ve been working with former editors from The New York Times and The Hustle on a lightweight editing guide. It’s a simple, high-impact checklist you can use to edit your work like a pro.” We will also add it to the Newsletter Hub.

This week:

• Reminders for those working in Squarespace

  • Always make sure that you are not making changes to a live page. Work on a (disabled) duplicate or new page.

  • Squarespace unfortunately has no version control. If you make changes to a page and then save that change, you cannot get the original version back. This applies to editing from two computers as well; Squarespace also does not support two active editors, so make sure that only one person is editing a page at a time. Squarespace has even had trouble when someone else has the page selected but is not editing, it can be really finicky.
