What The Martian Gets Right (and Wrong) About Science
There are a few hard truths you can learn from both the book and soon-to-be-released film The Martian. The first is: Don’t get stuck on Mars. The second: If you do get stuck on Mars, be really, really smart. It’s hard to argue with wisdom like that, but if you have any doubt, you won’t after leaving the theater, fresh from a rousing, gripping and scientifically granular tutorial on what makes Mars tick—chemically, geologically, meteorologically—and why the planet is such an alluring and vexing place. Andy Weir artfully blended all of those seemingly unblendable elements in his 2011 novel and R...

Try This Simple Stretch For Better Posture
If your day job doesn't equip you with a standing desk, there are ways to combat the negative side effects of sitting all day long. In the video above, Udaya yoga teacher Jules Mitchell shows how to get into a simple, spine-lengthening downward dog, a yogic move that can help reverse the damages of your desk job and improve your posture.  As you'll see in Mitchell's tutorial, you can even do this stretch at work without being that weird yogi co-worker who's always practicing on the floor (though there's no shame in that, we say). You'll perform a standard downward dog, but instead of placing your palms on th...

How To Make A 3D Hologram With Stuff You Already Own
Feel like resurrecting Tupac in your own home? No problem.  U.K.-based tech enthusiast Mrwhosetheboss posted a now-viral tutorial on YouTube that shows how to turn any smartphone into a hologram projector. The video was inspired by another, very similar YouTube tutorial by American Hacker teaching his viewers how to watch 3D videos without wearing designated glasses. Here's what you need: graph paper, a CD case (you'll have to get rid of them one day), tape or super glue, a pen, scissors, a smartphone and a knife or glass cutter. To build the projector, draw a small rhombus on the graph paper, use that template to cut...

Understanding the Real Source of Back Pain
By Pete Egoscue In the United States, back pain is one of the top complaints people bring to their doctors. What is the cause of this back pain that is so prevalent in our culture? First, some basic anatomy. The human spine is called "the segmented bone," meaning it's a bone that the body recognizes as one bone, in the same way it recognizes, say, the femur (thigh) or humerus (biceps), but unlike those bones, it is segmented, a bone in parts, and those parts are called vertebrae. That said, when it comes to function, the body does not recognize the individual parts of the spine; it stimulates and responds to the spine as i...

Technology Improvement Award Improves Patient Care
By Rachel Sindelar Health Sciences Librarian Broadlawns Medical Center Library, Des Moines, IA I manage the library at a county medical center serving 70% or more low income patients, many with low literacy levels and do not speak English. Wait times for overextended hospital translators is a challenge and so is the lack of mobile technology, plus many hospital rooms do not have computers. The hospital’s Clinical Educator had recognized a disconnect between a patient’s bedside need and access to quality health education materials appropriate for patient reading abilities and native language so I was determined to help....

Addressing Interpersonal Violence as a Health Policy Question Using Community Interprofessional Educators (Amy Clithero MBA)
The 2012 United States Medical School Graduation Questionnaire indicated that instruction in the area of family and domestic violence was relatively inadequate. A 2008 American Association of Medical Colleges informal needs assessment indicated that health policy content is perceived as boring, irrelevant and presented too theoretically and has little or no context. To address these concerns, and to share the powerful role of health policy in addressing both individual and population health issues, a clinical approach to interpersonal violence (IPV) and related health policy are taught during the University of New Mexico...
