I lived at 3 Linnaean st for 5 + years. Always pronounced it Lin-Ay-un. I’m from western Massachusetts but have multiple friends who were born and raised in Cambridge, with their parents and grandparents also living/being raised in Cambridge. They are certain it’s pronounced “Lin-ee-un”. Given this is their town I have to say they are right and I’m pronouncing it wrong. But I’m stuck in my ways so will always call it “Lin-ay-un”.

Good times there. Shout out half shell and abbey !!

I haven't used it, but the Marino Center at Mount Auburn Hospital offers these kind of services.

And for the record, I'm an actual (biomedical) scientist and I think it's more complicated than the take above.

I can’t stand these people. It’s like they try to only find the most introverted, odd and shabby people. I think they are taught to just enter premises no matter the cost or risk. They seem annoyed to be canvassing and have A LOT of ‘tude. Really rude, vile, and disrespectful little shits in my opinion. They’ve been coming to my house every year for several years. Ironic thing is I donate to wgbh on my own time. But I can’t stand them.

Who said I was on the couch? Was just pouring myself a coffee in the kitchen when I happened to glance and notice him. He wasn't bothering anyone and seemed to be feelin' no pain, so I just sort of shrugged and let him be.
