A new study finds that exercise may make caloric food less appealing. Experiencing the effort that goes into burning off a single donut will do that to you.

📸"A decade later, Instagram has rewired society. It has changed how we look, what we eat, our relationships, how we vote, where we go on holiday and what we spend our money on."

Folks, yesterday saw guilty pleas of a dozen or so wealthy parents and coaches for bribery, illegal money transfers across state lines, and tax fraud among other charges. Felicity issued an apology, seemingly sincere. Here's an idea I want to refloat: When we get to the punishment phase, I want to reiterate the idea of a cy pres award. Elite colleges were harmed. True. But the whole incident shines a spotlight in inequality in education and across America. And, ironically, the bribes ostensibly went to help low income kids. Yup, that's the tax fraud part. So have those pleading guilty do just that: donate to a cy pres fund that benefits low income kids and the non-elite small colleges that serve them. Redistribute the cy pres to colleges with more than 40% Pell eligible students and/or 50% first gen students and under 1200 students and endowments under $10 million. Then use the funds for scholarships and institution sustainability. The cy pres agreement would be part of a court ordered settlement and the distribution could be decided by a cy pres committee or designated court appointed official. Make lemonade out of lemons. Force these parents to do what they actually said: give to help low income students. Do good from bad. …see more

I think this piece might interest you --- how we treat each other is a disgrace. We need some grace. https://lnkd.in/ds2qN9F . Comments welcomed.

New research out of MIT/Univ of Regina on #fakenews : "People often just don’t think critically enough about the information they encounter... Our research suggests that the solution to politically charged misinformation should involve devoting resources to the spread of accurate information and to training or encouraging people to think more critically. You aren’t doomed to be unreasonable, even in highly politicized times. Just remember that this is also true of people you disagree with." https://lnkd.in/eKEQvjZ …see more

Which matters more, the right culture, or the right tech? I spoke to Richard George about his #adobeexperiencemakerawards win at Refinitiv , and our convo (link in comments) made me wonder. Without a doubt, tech is at the core of their award-winning digital ecosystem. But, it simply isn't the hero of this story. It’s the critical infrastructure that enables innovation. But, what brought that innovation to life, what sustains it, and what facilitated such a remarkable transformation is this organization’s relentless focus on culture. Quoting Richard from our interview: “That was something we were very purposeful about from the get-go. We made sure that people were aligned around a shared purpose, and that they trusted each other to see that vision through.” Check out the link in the comments for key elements of this winning culture, and hear from Richard directly in our full conversation.

Sometimes, you see unrelated items and they message together. I saw that the Community College of VT is celebrating its 52nd Commencement. The same newsletter noted that the Hermitage might be auctioned off. What a contrast. That got me thinking again of Southern Vermont College, founded in 1926. This will be its 93rd commencement if my math is right. And, I hope it is not its last. I, along with others, am committed to seeing if this remarkable college can celebrate its 100th Commencement! I get the challenges. I get the tightness of the timetable. But, I still believe. Yes. So, don't bury SVC yet. It's funeral may come but not if I can help it. At least my group will go down fighting hard. Very hard. If you don't try and don't believe, I can assure you nothing survives. So, best to try and believe. The other pathways foreshadow doom. And, for the record, doom and lack of transparency aren't my thing. Success is -- and I mean success not in the monetary sense. I mean in helping people become their best selves. That's part of the SVC mission -- enabling people to realize on their potential. How any anyone who believes in the mission NOT fight? …see more

Today marks 50 years since the iconic Beatles album cover photo for Abbey Road was taken. To our lovely friends in the UK, it is "just another Zebra crossing," but when we visited a few years ago it was a magical place.
