Microplastics In our Bodies
11
This article summarizes a couple of studies that are exploring the effects of microplastics in humans and in other animals. The first study was in mice and showed that microplastics were found in the mouse’s brains. This led to signs of cognitive decline similar to dementia. While the second part of the research is still happening. They believe that some plastics will affect the endocrine system and during pregnancy this could lead to birth defects. The other parts of this article talk about what microplastics are and then how we can reduce the amount of microplastics that we are in contact with.

A Performance or revolution?
The halftime show at the Super Bowl this past Sunday was legendary. It was a revolutionary performance with a strong call to action. There were many hidden easter eggs, from the costumes to the stage set and guest appearances. Everything that was shown had a deeper meaning. Kendrick is known for being a rapper who educates people on the injustices that are happening throughout our nation and this people on the injustices that are happening throughout our nation and this performance was nothing short of that.
There were so many historical references like Uncle Sam, played by Samuel L. Jackson. Uncle Sam is important because he is supposed to represent the human embodiment of America and what America is. The most I'm[ortantn part was what Uncle Sam was saying, as it explained the expectations of America and how America wants people to play the game. Overall I think this was a well-thought-out performance with a lot of significance because President Donald Trump was there as well.

Lewis Problem-Solution Essay article
The article is informing the public about all of the executive orders that President Biden submitted but are now taken out of play because he is not in office anymore. More executive orders are going out from President Trump that target the LGBTQ community. While EOs cannot override laws, they can cause major roadblocks for LGBTQ members. President Trump is mainly targeting transgender people and gender identity laws, stating that there is only “two sexes” and that “people cannot change their sex, gender is different from sex.”

Problem - Solution Essay: Summary of Article
Voter turnout among young people is relatively low among all states. While many states require a civics course to be taken in high school, there are some outliers. States that have more civics courses as a requirement may have more informed voters, but the correlation between the two is not clear. Maryland is very good about civic education starting from elementary school. They do a great job at teaching about the importance of voting and getting youth engaged. They even allow 16 year olds to vote in local and state elections. Businesses like Snapchat have also encouraged teens to register to vote by sending them a message through the app. While there are some great things being done to get young people voting, there is so much more that still needs to be done to create educated, informed voters who are active in their communities.

Voter Turnout - Fairvote
The document from FairVote discusses voter turnout in the U.S., highlighting that it is significantly lower compared to other developed democracies.
For instance, around 60% of eligible voters participate in presidential elections and about 40% in midterms. In contrast, countries with mandatory voting see turnout near 90%.
The reasons for this data include electoral competitiveness, election type, voting laws, and demographics (age, race, gender, and socioeconomic status) play a major role. Older, wealthier, and more educated individuals are more likely to vote. Women vote at higher rates than men, and White voters participate more than voters of color. The document suggests ranked choice voting, a national popular vote for president, and universal voter registration as ways to improve participation. -

Problem Solution Essay Hanna
Modern Design and its Impact on Emotions
Modern Design's Origins
• Born out of a desire to abandon 19th-century European ornamentation.
• Favors clean, angular lines, neutral colors, bare materials, and a sense of minimalism.
• Despite its intention to create tranquility, modern design often leads to melancholy isolation.
Color's Influence on Emotions
• Color has powerful effects on mood and mental functioning.
• Warm colors like red induce better performance, while cool colors like blue have the opposite effect.
• Cool, desaturated colors like grays mute our autonomic nervous system, making us less energetic and aroused.
Emotional Effects of Form
• An angular form triggers activation in the amygdala, a small almond-shaped structure in our brains associated with emotional memory, specifically fear.
• Too many angles in our homes set us on edge, contributing to the negative affect we feel towards modern design.
Modernism's Tension with Delight
• Modernism's restrained quality is fundamentally in tension with the idea of delight, an emotion of abundance and richness.
• Modernists' matte, bare surfaces signal something else entirely, causing us to perceive them as inhospitable.
Potential Future Research
• Emerging findings from psychology disciplines may shed more light on what spaces feel good to us and why.
• The notion that there are intrinsic aesthetic preferences built into our human nature is provocative but intriguing.

The Cafe of SLA @ Beeber
Tap into the School Environment and Student Life
This is a photo of the Science Leadership Academy @ Beeber cafeteria. Though I am waiting on interviews that will be attached at a later date, with the cooking crew I have a scoop. There isn't much that happens in this room. Most students get their school lunch or freebie as they are called. Most leave with their lunch after that, but there are those few that stay in the cafeteria for the remainder of lunch. I like to leave the cafeteria. It's overstimulating and my friends prefer to sit in a classroom so we may eat and get our work done better. Coming up In the interviews I will ask questions to the crew about how they like interacting with students, and if they like their jobs. Stay Tuned!

How does someone cope with death while having a terminal illness?
Morrie once said, “It is only once a person knows how to die that he can then know how to live.” But, to be honest, I didn’t understand what the quote meant by “learn how to die and you learn how to live.” I also do not know how to deal with death while having an illness but I did have some relatives that have passed from a terminal illness and so I can’t tell how they dealt with that. But I do know that it is nothing to be afraid of because when you die you will go home to your father.
