We need a break from trying to understand the news!

Dear friends of the Human Science Institute we have learned a lot about communicating with you through this new (to us) format of the blog. We are going to take some time – a break from the news, yes – but also some time to learn more about how to support you and others who are working for a more ‘humane and ecologically sustainable global future.’ We will be back refreshed and with new ideas for analysis and social action later in the summer.

Good wishes, JoAnn and Jim, and the Board of HSI
