Here is what I am reading today:
“I was reading an article that appeared on PR Daily (a great resource for PR professionals to get an overview of some of the trends and issues going on with social media in the industry) from Ragan Communications, and one article particularly sparked my interest. This article was discussing the nature of how to balance two Facebook profiles – one for your professional contacts and connections,and the other is for your personal contacts. The article raised some good points on why it is important if you do have one account, you will need to be aware of what you post and share with others in the online community.”
“Put down those science text books and work at recalling information from memory. That’s the shorthand take away message of new research from Purdue University that says practicing memory retrieval boosts science learning far better than elaborate study methods.”
“Can’t help molding some snow into a ball and hurling it or tossing a stone as far into a lake as you can? New research from Indiana University and the University of Wyoming shows how humans, unlike any other species on Earth, readily learn to throw long distances. This research also suggests that this unique evolutionary trait is entangled with language development in a way critical to our very existence”
“Changes in the environment that put the lives of adults at risk drive parents to invest more in caring for their offspring, scientists have found.”
“Writing by hand strengthens the learning process. When typing on a keyboard, this process may be impaired.”
“I suspect that the more time we spend with another person involved in intimacies, the more intimate we get regardless of our overall intentions. I would even go so far to say that it’s inevitable. That like that old premise in “When Harry Met Sally,” men and women can’t just be friends. Well, I mean that they definitely cannot just be friends if they’re actively engaging in a sexual relationship.”
