F*ck Cancer!
I'm driving to my favorite berry farm on a rural road in Ohio, completely absorbed in a story from the NPR's Moth Radio Hour that was devoted to fears. A woman in the story shares her fear of getting pregnant at 47 years of age as a result of occasional sex with her husband. She is telling the story with grace and humor, first describing her complete shock at the home pregnancy test results and then - a confirmation visit to her OBGYN.

Language, Brain and Behavior
I'm sitting in a class on Brain and Behavior at my college between two of my own courses I teach on MWF. It's tiring but fascinating. As a doctoral student in 2005, I took a course in Perception and Sensation that covered a lot of brain functions relating to speech and language, but a lot has been discovered since then due to various imaging technologies used to study the brain. So I'm basically catching up.

Shake Them Off!
There's 8.5 billion of them now. Just a mere second ago (a century by their measure) there was 2 billion of them, and now it's 8.5. Some of their brightest minds think they will peak out at 10 billion and start decreasing in numbers. I know better.

Debts you can’t pay. Top Story - September 2024.
I’ve had a huge revelation today and it was truly accidental. I was driving to my favorite berry farm, listening to a radio program about a summer camp run for 10-12 year-old children to learn the basics of economics. The camp was called “BizTown” and the kids first were supposed to apply for a particular job in town, go through a job interview, and then get hired into a job. Not all kids got the job they wanted but most did. And then they were supposed to start a business from scratch. Of course only after they completed some training in debit and credit and foundations of running a small business.
