‘The trend of the moment’: Do weighted vests live up to the hype?
“Vests are really hot right now,” health and exercise science professor and researcher Kristen Beavers told Healio. “It makes sense to me that if you’re loading the skeletal system, it would have a benefit at least to the skeletal system in some way, shape or form. This is how bone works; it responds to the loads that it’s placed under. What we were trying to do was to fool your body into thinking that you were weight stable when you weren’t."

Wake Forest brings classroom and career together in Charlotte
The spot at which Pearl Park Way meets South McDowell Street in Dilworth has a stop sign, of course, but Wake Forest University prefers to view it as the intersection of liberal arts and business; the crossroads of medicine and engineering; the convergence of classroom learning and practical experience; and the further bonding of a university and a vibrant city and vital alumni base 70 miles (as the crow flies) from the main campus.

Why a little delusion is good for you
Where would humanity be without our mild delusion? Many of the technologies we take for granted, from the light bulb to iPhones, would cease to exist without relentless resolve. Stephen King, rejected dozens of times, persisted and became one of the world’s top-selling authors. The realization that we have some control over our fate is what psychology professor Christian Waugh calls “optimism’s greatest power.”

Forest advocates accuse EU energy firm of Dutch biomass certification fraud
"For years, a battle has raged between EU nations that claim their forest biomass certification policies safeguard against deforestation, promote sustainability and enable carbon-emissions reductions, even as forest advocates have argued that those policies fail to combat climate change, are badly flawed or outright fraudulent," writes journalism professor Jusin Catanoso. "But now forest advocates are turning up the pressure in the Netherlands in an unprecedented way."

The cost of cold: Economics research links frozen crops to domestic violence
"There can be bad circumstances when you're trapped inside with someone who could be potentially dangerous, and who is—on top of that—under a lot of financial stress.

Trump may have had more support for war in Iran if he took a cue from history
The current combat in Iran has the least early support of any American military action in modern time. Had the current administration taken a cue from history, the numbers quite possibly might be different. “The numbers are astonishing,” said C. William Walldorf Jr., a Wake Forest University political scientist and author of the 2019 book To Shape Our World for Good: Master Narratives and Forceful Regime Change in United States Foreign Policy. “They’re bad because nobody knows what this war is about. And people don’t see its connection to any existential danger to the United States. All Trump had to do is explain what the threat was and he’d be in far better shape.”

Irans stranded sailors wait out the war in Sri Lanka amid US pressure
The sinking of an Iranian frigate and a leaked US cable have dragged the debt-burdened South Asian nation into a Middle Eastern conflict. Reassurances will do little to resolve Colombo's underlying bind, according to internaitonal affairs expert Neil DeVotta. "The last thing a bankrupt country wants is an impetuous US president lashing out at it," DeVotta said.

Trump’s war against Iran is uniquely unpopular among US military actions of the past century
When U.S. leaders get caught up in costly regime change wars that outrun national support, they tend to back down, often with far fewer political costs than if they'd continued their unpopular war, writes politics and international affairs expert Will Walldorf.
