1. Study that concerned me this week… There is a new pill, called the polypill, that has made the headlines this week.

1. Something I read this week… As my daughter, Quincy, applies to colleges, she has been writing essays as part of that application process.

1. Video clip I liked this week… I believe I had seen this before, as I don’t think it’s new, but I thought it was worthy of sharing. The clip I saw on Twitter was titled “Work smarter, not harder.” Since YouTube videos are easier for me to share, I found the same clip there,…
