Terribly sad to hear this. Paul was an immense resource for all of UVA. I’ll always remember his bunker of an office, stacked high with Shakespeare volumes on one side and X-Files dvds on the other — “original” is an understatement.

[🚨disinfo below] spotted this deceptive meme on an Instagram story. (not-neat writing=mine)
Instagram and Facebook automatically add “vaccine” disclaimers anytime a photo or caption uses words like vax, covid, etc. But this shareable post *did not* contain any sort of warning!

Would love to be a fly on the wall during their a/b testing when they decided 125 years was the optimal window for generating clicks / takes
