What the Police Could Learn from Psychologists
If we are to end systemic, institutionalized racism in America and the racist attitudes that too many police officers hold toward the citizens they have sworn to protect and to serve, perhaps it would be wise to better understand how much of good policing really is just simple human psychology.
If we want police officers to set a better example in their behavior and attitudes, I think no better place to start is with a police officer is trained — the police academy. And while I’m sure academies teach a lot of people skills, I think they’re missing an opportunity. Maybe police academies could learn more f...

20 Questions for Trump Supporters
Since this is a time of listening and opening dialogues, I thought it would be wise to learn more about Trump supporters and what their reasoning is for supporting him.
Most Americans and vastly more people around the world currently disapprove of Trump and the job he’s doing (or not doing). But millions of people, including 88% of Republicans, still approve of him. I’m curious to know more about these people. Who are you, and why do you support him?
If you currently support Trump and wouldn’t mind answering some basic questions to help educate me on this, I’d genuinely appreciate it.
To ma...

Hiding Our Heads in the Sand
By KIM BELLARD
There are so many
stories about the coronavirus pandemic — some inspiring, some tragic, and
all-too-many frustrating. In the world’s supposedly most advanced
economy, we’ve struggled to produce enough ventilators, tests, even swabs, for
heaven’s sake.
I can’t stop thinking
about infrastructure, especially unemployment systems.
We’d never purposely shut down our economy; no nation had. Each state is trying to figure out the best course between limiting exposure to COVID-19 and keeping food on people’s tables. Those workers deemed...

Insane Doofus In Chief
So last night the IDINC, looking and sounding like a hostage video, woodenly read a speech from the teleprompter in which heportrayed the current public health crisis as a foreign invasion, falsely announced that insurance companies had agreed to waive co-pays for treatment, and bizarrely announced a travel ban from all European countries except that one where he owns resorts. Other than that, he contributed nothing to our currently fraught and painful public discourse.The travel ban is ridiculous. The virus is already here. The ban will however have severe economic consequences, which has driven the stock market to give u...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, March 2nd 2020
In conclusion, the recently demonstrated protective effects of NMN treatment on neurovascular function can be attributed to multifaceted sirtuin-mediated anti-aging changes in the neurovascular transcriptome. Our present findings taken together with the results of recent studies using mitochondria-targeted interventions suggest that mitochondrial rejuvenation is a critical mechanism to restore neurovascular health and improve cerebral blood flow in aging.
