The Knoxville Fire Department's investigation unit said that it is searching for the cause of the fire.

For many high school students, choosing a college is not only about getting an education; it’s also an opportunity for them to leave their hometown and explore the world. With many well-known songs and movies featuring New York as the setting of a new chapter, it’s no surprise that it’s the second most popular state to go to college. But, New York has hundreds of colleges and universities to choose from!

I was 24 years old the first time I visited my tribal lands in Fort Yuma, Arizona. I have always had a strong connection to my heritage and a sense of identity as an American Indian, largely through my mother’s insistence that we do “Indian” things. Beyond the countless Pow Wows we attended over the years, Mom insisted we read books on our culture, and even (without much success) attempted to teach us some of our tribal language.

As we get older, research shows sarcopenia or loss of muscle mass and strength can lead to falls and weakness. Causes for muscle loss include an inactive lifestyle, disease, and low protein intake. Older adults may eat fewer protein-rich foods due to cost, chewing ability, or preparation. People who eat mostly plant foods have lower intakes of an essential amino acid that helps build muscle.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Most sleep advice is (understandably) predicated on the idea that people are awake during the day and asleep at night, honoring the body’s circadian rhythms. Sometimes, though, our schedules are not our own. Maybe you’re a physician in residency; maybe the lab or the rehearsal room you need is only available in the late evenings. Maybe you’re an RA with overnight on-call duties.

Could President Trump's victory in the 2024 election mean the end of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program? Republicans in Congress have already telegraphed their plans for PSLF when they had unified GOP control of Congress and the White House in 2017 (they attempted to repeal it). Will 2024 and beyond be a repeat… The post Will Trump Repeal PSLF?
