Van Gogh’s ear is alive, whiskey may be no more: Don’t judge this week’s wacky news by its cover My legs are hurting immensely today. I decided to do pilates before I ran on the treadmill. One could almost say I was punishing my legs […]
Proudly I’m a Jill of all trades: Don’t ask me about crocs, dark matter or dog grooming I take great pride in being a jill of all trades. As a social psychologist, who is embedded within a community based organization, I have to develop knowledge across a wide […]
