Who do you imagine when I say âsocial media influencer?â Iâll bet a young, hot model or a chiseled guy into cars. Itâs time to expand your horizons.

When the risk of getting cancer starts to decline. The risk is highest in our 60s and 70s, then it drops. Researchers studying lung cancer found a key protein, NUPR1, that behaves differently in older cells. I love reading about breakthroughs like this. I hate cancer.
You shouldnât say to kids: âIâm disappointed in you.â Columbia sociologist Adam Galinsky says all it does is make them feel shame. Try being constructive instead, like, âHow can we set up a system to get your homework done?â I still remember when my dad said to me after one college semester, âYou get an A in Physics, Computer Programming, Statistics and Economics but a D in Accounting.
