Good News

Well everyone, it has been real this syemester, so I figured I would try to do something a smidge different than my usual work. One of my favorite comedians with a news comedy show, Russle Howard, goes out of his way to find good news to share at the end of the show.

So, here is some good news.

Baltimore, Climate Change, and Immigration

Welcoming people to our country, a country that values diversity, is ultimately a good thing. It is a better thing when these people are skilled in supporting green industry. Speaking of going green.

Biodegradable Mardi Gras Beads

As someone who was there, seeing the recycling bins full of the things, this is a great idea! The fact that it will also spread the use of algae in the public sector. Changing perspectives can really do wonders for a product.

LGBTQ+ and Surrogacy in New York

This is a morally grey area, but, by working with the law for regulation and support, we can work towards understanding and control of this new market. Healthy babies that are loved is hard to say no to.

Speech Assistance Technology

Helping a stroke victim recover is difficult. Giving them something to be understood and communicate relieves that frustration and grants advocacy.

A 12 Year Old and an App for Her Grandma

We all remember Elizabeth's presentation and the simulation of the 15 minutes of what it was like to be that kind of patient. Creating an app to assist with memory and independence is a selfless act for a family member.

And finally, a musical number(it's old but still good).

I think we forget during our busy lives and all this dark news that there is good in the world, I hope I have brightened your day.

  1. Thanks for that, we need to notice all the great science news and counter the false public stereotype of scientists are kill-joys in white lab coats. Medical science in particular has a strong story to tell, starting with the vast and rapid expansion of life-expectancy in those parts of the world fortunate enough to enjoy ready access to quality health care.
