Hope, pride and skepticism shape Winston-Salem views as America marks 250 years
The Declaration of Independence played a key role in the country's transformation over its 250 years, said history professor Ben Coates. "In the beginning, it (the United States) is really this small, relatively weak nation," Coates said. "And then early on it was able to exert a lot of power in its immediate neighborhood, especially against the indigenous people who lived here, then becoming more of a regional power and in the 20th century becoming a global power."

The diploma divide is real, but college doesn’t make students as liberal as people think
Public discussions often focus on the idea that higher education makes students more liberal. “The ideological effects of higher education are a hotly disputed topic in the United States,” said Michael Prinzing, a research scholar at Wake Forest. “Yet the evidence for such effects is remarkably mixed.” Prinzing and his colleague wanted to investigate exactly how political views shift during college and which factors influence those changes. "Overall, our findings reveal an important and growing divide in political identity; they also undermine sweeping claims about ideological effects of higher education.”

School of Business professor Philip Howard offers tips on organizing a household budget. "Group expenses into needs, wants, savings, and debt payments, then create separate categories only where more detail would change behavior. It also helps to plan for irregular expenses with monthly “sinking funds” and automate savings where possible. A budget works best when it becomes a simple routine, not a one-time spreadsheet."

"Prediction markets as we know them today were cooked up by economists trying to test some theories on markets. Economist and prediction market expert Koleman Strump shares his expertise in this story about the evolution of prediction markets. "Part of this sort of psychology of these markets is that people like to be smart. People like to use this as a way of sort of showing off their smarts, of how they figure these things out."

Conflicts and consolidation: When private equity assembles teams of rivals
The better frame is conflict management. When one investor stands behind several firms competing for the same clients, the same executives, the same technology, and acquisitions and growth capital, the appearance of divided loyalty can matter almost as much as a conflict itself. Even the perception carries weight: a strong pull on the nonaudit side can “spill over to the audit side,” warns accounting professor Jenelle Conaway.

It gives them confidence. It leads to higher academic success.”

Study offers first map of Amazon’s climate-resilient upslope corridors
"As the world warms, plants and animals must quickly migrate to cooler places to stay resilient and survive. But today such migrations are often blocked by deforestation, human infrastructure and lack of conserved lands," writes journalism professor Justin Catanoso, a regular contributor to Mongabay. Ecologist Miles Silman is quoted in this story, noting the naturally changing climate occurred at the end of the last ice age 10,000 years ago. “Some argue that species [then] didn’t really experience climate change, because they could move so easily over time to new habitats and stay in equilibrium,” he said.
