‘Apron Mom’ urged to cut strings to outdated image
Education professor Linda Nielsen has been working on parenting issues for decades, and challenges the widespread belief that fathers are less capable than mothers in nurturing children's social and emotional development. "We have bought into negative stereotypes about fathers that do not reflect reality," she said. "We have embraced many demeaning, insulting beliefs about fathers that are baseless and run counter to the research and to national statistics."

Who owns a public university syllabus?
"As long as it's original and the professor creates it, then it's probably going to be protected by copyright," said law professor Zaneta Robinson. "Depending on the extent to which there is an intellectual property policy in place at the institution or the professor has a written contract that speaks to those rights. Or in the absence of either one, the default is going to apply – it's absolutely going to be covered by copyright." Robinson is the founding director of Wake Forest University's intellectual property law clinic. She said copyright can sometimes be a "gray area" in higher education.

GOP push for district approval of amendments unprecedented
“All states requiring voter ratification just simply say that overall the number of votes has to be either a majority or a supermajority,” said politics professor John Dinan, “So I’m not familiar with any state that in specifying voter ratification requirements, would require ratification to be done in some parts of the state.” Dinan’s research says that states often attempt to increase barriers to constitutional amendments in response to the conflicting wants of voters and lawmakers.

“Compared with 50 or 60 years ago, campaigns and fundraising today are almost certainly beginning at an earlier time,” said politics professor John Dinan. “But for the last several decades now, campaigns and fundraising have been starting pretty early.”

Norma Desmond, JFK, a Martian Pastel, and What’s American Studies?
David Lubin is not your run-of-the-mill American art professor. He’s a pioneer, a buccaneer, and the gold standard among scholars and teachers of American art. Wake Forest recruited him, and he said no, recruited him again, and he said no again, but on the third try he and his wife, Libby, decided to give the place a look. When they left Maine for a weekend in Winston-Salem, they were 99% sure they’d never move. By the time they left the campus, they were 99% sure they would. Kudos to Wake Forest for recognizing talent.

The emerging AI field of multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) has infinite potential for use in health care, disaster response and power grid management. MARL allows multiple AI systems to work together to manage complex and sometimes life-threatening situations. However, the risk of one AI system’s failure leading to the others has kept MARL in the realm of gaming. With a $598,609 National Science Foundation CAREER award, Associate Professor of Computer Science Sarra Alqahtani plans to change that.

Weighted vests are the latest fitness trend. Do they work?
As more people strap in for the first time, research into the potential effectiveness of weighted vests continues to come down the pike. Kristen Beavers, an associate professor in the department of health and exercise science at Wake Forest and one of the researchers in the INVEST trial, said the team is currently working on other studies related to weighted vests, including the impact on muscle and the difference in outcomes between men and women. In March, they published a small pilot study suggesting that wearing a weighted vest during active weight loss may help people maintain that loss over the long term. “I don’t think the story is done,” Beavers said.

The nearly two-year conflict is not only one of the worst humanitarian abominations in the 21st century but has long since become a perfect case study of what politics professor Will Walldorf describes as “moral hazard”—an international relations term of art that occurs when a junior partner, assured of external backing from a great power (in this instance the United States), begins acting in ways that undermine the interests of the benefactor.

5 things every investor can learn from Warren Buffett
“A great example is Nebraska Furniture Mart, which he discussed in his 1983 shareholder letter,” said Dr. Stephan Shipe, an economist and finance professor at Wake Forest University, and the founder of the investment advisory firm Scholar Advising. “He told the story of Rose Blumkin, who built the business from a pawn shop into a retail giant through relentless work and an eye for value.”
