No car? No problem. How to explore Columbia by foot, bike or bus
By Hudson Heidger/Missourian,Joel Chan/Missourian,Clayton Steward/Missourian,By Maddie Madison You don't need a car to get the full Columbia experience.

Knowledge synthesis: A conceptual model and practical guide
This document shares a conceptual model and practical approach for knowledge synthesis that I have developed for myself. It is forged in practice, and adapted from other practices, but also with an eye to being as theoretically grounded as possible. Creative knowledge work is my area of research, after all, and knowledge synthesis is an inherently creative act.
Outrun: The Aesthetic Deconstructed
Synthwave is a music genre I’ve been listening a lot to lately. Pulsating basslines, buzzy analog synth leads and evocative saxophone riffs fill the soundscape and transport the listener back in time to the 80s. Well, not exactly the 80s, but something inspired by it. Enter the aesthetic known as ‘outrun’. Some people call it retrowave.

What we learned: Nick Bolton's success vs. West Virginia extended past interceptions
Don’t be surprised if later this season, or a couple seasons from now, we look back and label Missouri’s victory over West Virginia on Sept. 7, 2019, as the day linebacker Nick Bolton made his grand entrance. Only part of that has to do with his pair of interceptions. Saturday’s game was not Bolton’s first game action -- He saw time in all 13 games last season as a true freshman. But Saturday’s game showed a Bolton who could make plays in a variety of ways around the field.
