Reading List A fractured skull. A shattered eye socket. Nyjah Huston suffered both after a skateboarding accident in January 2026. At that scale, damage sounds final. Bone broke and blood pooled, and soon after, tissue swelled under pressure. Clotting begins and signals move between cells, calling for reinforcement and repair. Day after day, a wound…
by Demetra Paizanis, Communications Coordinator – Reading List At some point in your life, you’ve probably stared out of an airplane window at 35,000 feet and had the thought: how is this giant metal tube in the sky right now? You might be wedged between a stranger eating pretzels and someone watching three episodes of…
Reading List The eggs are gone. The shelf where they usually sit is empty except for a white price tag that still insists they cost $1.92. You stand there longer than necessary, scanning the refrigerated case as if they might have migrated somewhere less obvious. They haven’t. They’re not there. An empty grocery shelf feels…
Reading List By the time you reach theater doors, the line has already lost its shape, spilling sideways, bunching at the rope stanchions, inching forward in uneven bursts. Someone is arguing about assigned seats. Someone else apologizes for standing too close while standing too close. A couple behind you smells sharply of winter coats damp…
Reading List You never forget your first bad boss. Maybe it was the restaurant manager who made you clock out every time you went to the bathroom, even during 10-hour shifts.

They’re the unsung heroes of the office, the tech titans who save you from the dreaded never…
Reading List Picture this: you are lying in a hospital bed, gown tied awkwardly at the back, heartbeat monitor beeping like a metronome gone rogue. A doctor sweeps in, glances at your chart, rattles off a diagnosis, and disappears to the next room, leaving you with a swirl of confusion and worry. Then a nurse…
The never-ending conversation about healthcare in the United States is a black hole of opinions and rhetoric that can suck the life out of any interaction. But while most people lean one way or another on how the healthcare system can be fixed, there are a few facts that are driving the narrative and shaping…
Reading List You decide to take the stairs instead of the elevator because today is the day you are a person who takes the stairs. Floor one to floor two feels like a good choice. By floor three, your calves light up like they just discovered fire. You reach your desk with a smile from…
By Demetra Paizanis – Reading List Let’s start with the obvious: music is everywhere.
