The Benefits of College Athletics
Most college students do not graduate with the intention of pursuing sports professionally; however, many participate in athletics while in school. Many universities offer different sports programs, and Regent is no exception. Regent offers nine different sports teams as well as intramural opportunities.

Does drinking milk really cause acne?
If you're one who's prone to acne, then you've probably already tried a whole bunch of ways to keep those pesky spots at bay.

Acne, which is caused by inflammation of the hair follicles, features blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and cysts.
Is it better to do your exercise outdoors?
In the world of health research, exercise is one of the few things that pretty much everyone agrees on. Regular physical activity improves heart health, reduces your risk of cancer, keeps your bones healthy, improves mental health, and the list goes on. But does it matter where you do your exercise? Will a gym work-out have the same health benefits as a bootcamp in a local park? The bottom line is any exercise is better than no exercise, doctor and researcher Sandro Demaio tells ABC Life.
How much calcium you need per day — plus the top non-dairy sources - ABC Life
You may not know this, but your bones are a bit like a bank. Except this bank contains almost 99 per cent of your body's calcium. And like any bank, you want to make sure that you are making more deposits than withdrawals. Every day your body is withdrawing from your calcium bank (yep, your bones) to ensure your heart, muscles, blood and nerves are healthy and functioning properly.
The differences between extra virgin, light and pure olive oil
When it comes to "fats" it can be difficult to pick apart fact from fiction. Coconut oil promotes weight loss (unlikely). Butter protects against cancer (not exactly). Eating fats makes you fat (oh, dear). For decades we were warned off all fats, but now it's clear that some of them are an essential component in a healthy diet. Fats, oils and how much you need We all need a certain amount of fat in our diet.
Do vitamins and supplements like echinacea and vitamin C help with colds and flu?
When you're in the grip of a phlegm-fuelled misery fest, you can start to feel a little desperate for any sort of relief.

Where Have All The PhDs Gone?
Hello. It’s been over two years since my last Let’s Try This PhD Thing post…but unlike this blog, I have actually managed to maintain some semblance of existence since the completion of my thesis. My blog actually reflects a bit of a pattern here, and I’m hoping to explore it further in 2019. Namely: where do all the PhDs go? Back when I was still studying, when I wasn’t stressing about the work already on my plate, I was stressing about what came next.
What it's like to be a woman working in science, and how to make it better
This Wednesday saw the launch of the Science in Australia Gender Equity (SAGE) pilot program by the Australian Academy of Science (AAS) in partnership with the Academy of Technological Science and Engineering (ATSE). SAGE is a gender equity program to address the chronic underrepresentation of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine (STEMM).
Period blood as plant fertiliser: Repurposed resource … or a biohazard?
Blood meal is a common garden fertiliser. Can menstrual fluid do the same job? Historically, menstruation has been a subject of taboo — spoken about in hushed tones and referred to in euphemisms, if discussed at all. Today however, there are signs of a positive cultural shift. Last year, a company selling menstruation products used "real blood" in their advertisements — rather than blue liquid.
Our clothes are contaminating our planet with tiny plastic threads
This article was originally published by Ensia and is republished with permission. Minute fibers shed from synthetic textiles are polluting oceans, streams, rivers — even the air we breathe — with unknown consequences. You try to do the right thing. You’re conscientious about recycling.

How can a wireless network help both rhino resilience and water quality?

Asexuals struggle to come out in this sexed-up world
Both Steph and Elyse faced incredulousness from their own families when they came out as asexual. Sex sells. Whether you're getting it or not, it's hard to avoid it. So imagine what it would be like to live in this sexed-up world and yet never experience sexual attraction. We're not talking about lapses in libido, or a decline in desire. We're talking about asexuality.
From identifying plant pests to picking fruit, Ai Is reinventing how farmers produce your food
This article was originally published by Ensia and is republished with permission. A sophisticated form of artificial intelligence known as deep learning could help make agriculture more efficient and environmentally friendly. Sick crops?

The farmers then upload the images with GPS locations to a cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) app named Plantix.
Nobody Really Cares If You Don't Go To The Party
I used to keep a blog – ‘Let’s Try This PhD Thing’ – the title of which says a lot about my identity. Or at least how I used to think about my identity. I stopped writing a while ago. Excuse my privilege for just a sec, but I struggled throughout my studies. It was hard to deal with the judgements of the research crowd who saw my ideals of working outside the academic sect...I mean sector…as, at best: alien and at worst: a literal waste of time.
Racist? There’s an app for that
The test was designed specifically to test prejudices people hold that they might not even be aware of themselves. (Getty) Thanks to a test designed by Harvard researchers, you can measure your own racism – and make a start towards reducing it. But if you don’t believe me, you can find out for yourself – there’s an app for that. The Implicit Association Test (IAT) was developed by scientists as a way to look at people’s unconscious biases – including those about race and gender.
A trip down memory lane
"For as long as I can remember, I’ve been interested in science and how the world works. We had this one book in the house called Planet Earth, which had a photo of Earth taken from space on the front cover. I remember being about six and staring at this picture as I actually made the connection: Earth is a planet. We are in space, standing on a giant blue rock. It hadn’t really registered with me until that point.
