8 Booze-Free Ways To Have Fun With Friends
By Alexis Farah for Life by Daily Burn Photo: Pond5 If there's one thing you can count on it's your friends showing up ... for happy hour, bottomless mimosas, and Netflix and chill-ed wine night.

So why not shelf the boozy get-togethers every once in a while and try a healthier activity instead? Other equally spirited options like hiking, dance (class) partying, volunteering and paddleboarding make for great catch-up time with friends. Plus, they put the kibosh on all the extra calori...

Life With A Traumatic Brain Injury -- Acknowledging The Truth And Moving On
I have a brain injury, but... I have a brain injury. There. I've said it. Publicly. It's so much easier to not say it, to not admit it, to not talk about it. For the first five months after my accident, I didn't talk about my brain injury with anyone. Because I didn't want to talk about it. I didn't want to explain how I felt, or discuss my symptoms, or detail how my healing was going. Even now, I'd rather my injury not be there (and I know how obvious and stupid that statement sounds). I'd rather not be injured, but I am. I have what neurologists classify as a traumatic brain injury, a TBI. Specifics: For the first t...

Here ’s What to Do If You’re Attacked by a Mountain Lion
When a mountain lion grabbed a 4-year-old girl camping with her family in Idaho, her quick-thinking parents successfully scared it off by yelling, causing the animal to drop their child and run away. The young girl attacked by the mountain lion was mostly unharmed, with just a few scratches, according to NBC News. Madison County sheriff’s deputies killed a mountain lion found near where the family was camping on Sunday. Such attacks are rare. There are roughly 30,000 cougars in the western U.S., and since 1890, there have been fewer than 100 attacks on humans, with about 20 fatal attacks, according to the Cougar Netw...

Building a Pathway to Engineering for Our Daughters - Brick by Brick
By Ali P. Gordon UCF Forum columnist As a father of young elementary and middle school-aged kids, I'm also curious to know exactly how my undergrad students came to be interested in mechanical engineering. An exchange with a UCF student might go like this: "You did a great job on the exam. Congrats! By the way, how did you get interested in mechanical engineering, anyway?" I mentally log the answers for my kids' future benefit. Any faculty member who is worth her or his salt will agree that teaching a class facilitates the instructor's learning just as much if not more than the students in the audience. When we give chal...

This Is What Artisanal, Freeze-Dried Ice Cream Tastes Like
If you’ve been to a space museum as a kid or even a camping store recently, odds are good you know what freeze-dried ice cream is.  For those that haven’t tried it, “astronaut ice cream” is chalky and resembles a dry sponge. The novelty is singularly what makes the experience enjoyable, because the flavors in the stuff taste about as good as the bottom of your shoe. That’s precisely what Robert Collignon’s brainchild, Gastronaut Ice Cream, aims to change. Launched as a Kickstarter campaign, the goal for Gastronaut Ice Cream is to mass produce what are essentially artisanal free...
