## Daily Brief — 2026-05-14
### ✨ Morning
On May 14, 1796, Edward Jenner vaccinated 8-year-old James Phipps against smallpox using cowpox — the first vaccine ever administered. Jenner coined the word "vaccine" from *vacca* (Latin: cow). The child survived. Smallpox killed ~300 million people in the 20th century alone; Jenner's rural curiosity eventually eradicated it entirely.
🧖 Sauna day — don't skip it.
💧 Start with a glass of water.

## Plan for Today
1. ⚡ Check [Failing pixels report for Alex M](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1214280588891026) — Samantha linked PR #4648. Verify merged; close if done. ~5 min.
2. 🔴 **SHIP REVIEW DEMO TRACKER — DUE TOMORROW (May 15).** Unhold now. Message Costas re QA (last said he'd do it May 1 — 13 days ago). Post UTI-redesign-fixes build (promised Apr 30, never posted). Resolve GJ1 animation scope with Gary.
3. 🔴 Unhold TP task — [[ON HOLD] iOS: Demo tracker blocking](https://app.asana.com/0/0/1213551050320249) — 3 days overdue. Remove hold, update due date, link Ship Review status.
4. 🟠 Reschedule Dominik 1:1 — 9 days overdue. 2-min message.
5. 🟠 Triage inbox: Text selection, Pinned tab, iPad Ship Review, NA Analysis, EP2/EP3 calibrations, DRI<>Advisor async (Gary).
6. 🟠 Batch PR reviews — after TP block.
