My daughter Karen is a Assistant Professor at the University of Louisville. When you are on the Marquee, it always seems more official! Congratulations, Karen!
Here is what I am reading today:
“Tom likes Susan but he fears she does not like him. Expecting to be rejected, he’s cold toward Susan. And guess what? She snubs him back. His prophesy is self-fulfilled, his social insecurity reinforced. The miserable cycle continues. But what if Tom could be helped to set aside his fears and behave as warmly as he feels?”
“Four new studies by researchers at the University at Buffalo have found that when a woman’s goal is to be romantically desirable, she distances herself from academic majors and activities related to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).”
“Large amounts of alcohol are known to shorten sleep latency, increase slow-wave sleep, and suppress rapid eye movement (REM) during the first half of sleep. During the second half of sleep, REM increases and sleep becomes shallower. A study of the acute effects of alcohol on the relationship between sleep and heart rate variability (HRV) during sleep has found that alcohol interferes with the restorative functions of sleep.”
A special welcome to the upcoming Class of 2015! Many of your classmates were born in 1993 and I remember the year well. I was 40 with three daughters (14, 11 and 9) married (21 years) and teaching at Cal Poly. Today, we are all a bit older and I like to think ‘better.’ I hope your journey is as pleasant.
