Clayton College Of Natural Health Puns

I'm in going into my 4th semester of university and want to be a regenerative medicine scientist. I don't know anyone who works in a scientific research environment. I'd really appreciate it if you all can recommend me an autobiography or a book written by a scientist about life as a scientist or about their experiences/being a researcher?

Thank you!!

We'll be here until 1 pm EST.

There are going to be a lot of use cases for FootTech in the future, here are some of the things I've been thinking about lately and want to learn more about - but please post anything you may find of interest!

• Imaging diagnostics in healthcare such as scoring risk for diabetic foot or vascular quality
• Apps with automation to suggest/monitor exercises to improve foot/gait complaints
• In-store 3D scanners to calculate your foot's shape/volume and suggests shoes that will fit
• Bunion related tools, is it a bunion, what can be done with conservative treatment?
• Plantar fasciitis assessment using more observable articular details, less guessing
• Improvements in surgical hardware/removability
• Will FootTech go the way of modern footwear? Too many options for highly supportive & immobilizing methods that de-function feet?
• How can concepts of natural foot function be incorporated as early as possible into these other areas?

This subreddit was created to extend the type of information I share in /r/FootFunction about my experience recovering from a lisfranc injury, and all the ways that are possible to adapt the feet to work more as expected.

You can read a bit more about that story here:

Thanks for your interest, and please post anything that may be on topic, or reach out with any questions/comments!

And then allow our counseling center to remain severely underfunded every year so they can barely help more than a handful of students at a time. Their maximum is 8 free sessions. Not for the semester, the entire fucking academic year.

After that they want you to use insurance, but there are many reasons why someone would reach out to them instead of using their insurance. They don't have insurance, they don't have insurance with mental health coverage, their parents wouldn't let them use it, etc

And don't even get me started on creating some of the most stressful environments ever. Yeah, college isn't supposed to be a breeze, but there's a reason in the past month there have been ambulances and cop cars having to come on campus almost everyday.

The school doesn't say anything (probably for fear of bad publicity) but we all know it's most likely because of psychiatric emergencies, especially in regards to thoughts of unaliving.

These past two years have had to be two of the most stressful academic years that have ever been, and yet, the college does nothing to assist us outside of empty platitudes and workshops on mental health where you get a free squeezy ball or bath bomb just for showing up

Don't get me wrong, there are nice, incredibly helpful people if you're lucky enough to get your foot in the door, but again, they're almost entirely surpressed by the limitations of their budgets

And it just feels like if they were able to help everyone way earlier, we wouldn't be in the current situation we're in now where a good chunk of the student population is doing things requiring ambulances and the other chunks are strongly considering following in their footsteps

Or maybe the question should be if Nick Saban has?

If you rewind to 20 years ago, Miami looked ready to continue their dynasty under Larry Coker. As they fell into the pack, USC stepped up (and kinda LSU?), and the talking heads reminded everyone college football isn't about parity but it is cyclical—great teams rise and fall.

Given Alabama's consistent out-performance, I'm curious if this logic has changed. There are many things that are substantially different from 20 years ago:

1. Money is a much more prominent part of the sport. Not just NIL, but the media deals for teams has only escalated. College football is also a recruiting tool for regular students, and as tuition outpaces inflation, I suspect universities partially view their football teams as important assets for drawing in students that will pay the crazy rates. But there are plenty of teams willing to spend money and still not wining championships (*sad longhorn noises*). So there must be more than just money.
2. Sport science has changed a huge amount. I suspect this is an underrated part of *sustaining* a dynasty. It's one thing to bring in the recruits, but if you can't develop them into great players, another team can ascend.
3. Nick Saban is simply the best at using all of these resources *and* motivating his players—the best ever in my book, for doing it at time when competition is at a fever pitch. Every other college coach has had some regression at some point that breaks the dynasty (or their slimy behavior catches up to them). It may be that he's simply the best at extending the cycle vs. completely breaking it, but we may not find out until he chooses to do something else with his time.

Edit: Damn, try to start up some discussion and I succeed while fucking harvesting downvotes.

Edit 2: I complained about downvotes but the post succeeded despite my kvetching. Here are some of my favorite comments from the thread, that lead me to believe it really is something special about Saban and not really anything structural:

Structural Reasons

u/goodsam2: The sophistication of recruiting becoming better has really shaped this as well.

u/Ox_Baker: Alabama has given him institutional support. [Karma's note: This is one of those necessary-but-not-sufficient things, where it's really a combination of factors working together.]

Saban is a Singular Coach

u/DaBigJMoney: Saban has built a program that takes failed head coaches from elsewhere and turns them into coordinat

I hate being stuck with my family at this stage and never having autonomy over my life. Plus having a disability really hampered with my overall personal growth. I don’t have drivers license and I became so used to being infantalized. I would appreciate it if someone here can help me find ways to become independent because I am afraid that I will never become an independent girl that I want to be.

From https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/lives-destroyed-government-failure-natural-immunity/

>Dr. Marty Makary on Tuesday accused public health officials of “modern-day McCarthyism,” and publishing studies not worthy of “a 7th-grade science experiment.”
The public health researcher and professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health told members of the House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis some COVID policies have become “too extreme, too rigid and are no longer driven by clinical data.”
Makary zeroed in on natural immunity and COVID booster shots for teens. He criticized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) rush to push boosters for 16- and 17-year-olds based on lab experiments suggesting boosters raise antibody levels against Omicron.
Vaccine makers announced the results of the experiments without releasing any of the underlying scientific data, Makary said.
“Is this what we’ve come to,” Makary asked? “Pharma tells us what to do and the CDC just falls in line?”
