Lasers are essential to an incredibly large number of applications. Today, they are used in bar code readers, compact discs, medicine, communications, sensors, materials processing, computer printers, data processing, 3D-imaging, spectroscopy, navigation, non-destructive testing, chemical processing, color copiers, laser "shows", and in the military. There is hardly a field untouched by the laser. But what exactly is so unique about lasers that makes them so effective?

If Saul Bellow wrote Wonder Boys, it'd be Straight Man. Sort of. Although yet another novel about heterosexual, cisgendered white men professionally and personally cracking in a fabulous display of middle-aged anxiety, Richard Russo nixes the tiresome cliché of a weepy, justified-because-the-mistress-is-TOTALLY-hot-and-the-wife-is-a-harpy… Read more »

Lifelong Learning Resources | A Brief Guide to Mission to Learn
If you are new to Mission to Learn, or have simply decided to spend a bit more time exploring what is here, the posts listed on this page represent good places to start. It’s also good to know that the whole focus here is on lifelong learning. I mean that not so much in the sense of accumulating knowledge about specific topics but rather in the spirit of how we can continually learn, grow, and live the most fulfilling lives possible. You will find plenty here about specific learning resources, but you will also find general perspectives on what it means to be a lifelong learner in a hyper-connected world, how to develop and improve learning habits, and how to actually get the most out of what you have learned (which is nearly always more than you realize!) in every day life. This is a very recent post and one that was long overdue: a blog about learning should offer a definition of learning.
Snowy winters, soaring planes, and a law and medical school too? The University of North Dakota offers all sorts of opportunities, including the nation's largest fleet for training non-military pilots.

There are programs in atmospheric research, space studies, computer science related to aviation and even aviation law. Last week, we talked about the joys of the holidays - and how tough it is when your kids are off at college, rather than home celebrating with you.

Getty Neuroscience may seem like an advanced subject of study, perhaps best reserved for college or even graduate school. Two researchers from Temple University in Philadelphia propose that it be taught earlier, however—much earlier.

The World Question Center 2010
I received this year's Edge Question while in Damascus, shuttling messages from Jerusalem aimed at probing possibilities for peace. And I got to thinking about how my thinking on world peace and transnational violence has been shaped by the Internet, and how the advent of the Internet has framed my view of human history and destiny. I'm aware that I'm living on the cusp of perhaps the third great tipping point in human history, and that this is an awesome and lucky thing to experience. First, I imagine myself with a small band moving out of Africa into the Fertile Crescent around 60,000 years ago or so, when humans mastered language and began to conquer the globe. More than half a million years ago, the Neanderthal and human branches of evolution began to split from our common ancestor Homo erectus (or perhaps Homo ergaster ).

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any.Blog week 11/23 “The purpose of schooling is not in keeping in school but in pushing out into the world young citizens who are soaked in habits of thoughtfulness and reflectiveness, joy and commitment.” Standards are the structural content components, the base all students need. They are a part of rigor, but only a part.
