Health, Wellness and Adult Skills
(12/10/19 11:00am)
It’s no surprise that wherever Brandeis students end up, they make their mark. Enter Brandeis alumna Jenny Paul ’07, the creator and executive producer for the new “shoppable” web series, “Adulting With Jane.” The series, which launched in October, is one of the first of its kind because it allows viewers to click on and purchase the products featured in the video while they watch. The videos range from “How to Change a Tire” to “How to Manage a Panic Attack,” and utilize influencer-culture to help “Jane” learn these new skills.

Addressing the Ads
(11/26/19 11:00am)
“Think really long and hard, and if by the end you’re still comfortable with giving over your data to all these companies, then fine. But chances are you aren’t okay with this theft that is taking place.” Walt Mossberg ’69, considered by many to be the father of technology-review journalism, is deeply troubled by what he calls the “theft” of consumer information by internet giants including Facebook, Amazon and Google. On Oct. 22, Mossberg delivered a lecture at Brandeis, his alma mater, on how the “ad tech,” or advertising technology industry, is destroying the internet. He warned that internet users have opted into a grand bargain, and that we are all being ripped off.

Soon, the callers began drawing and announcing the numbers, creating a competitive yet friendly environment.
Kindness Day: Behind the Scenes
(11/19/19 11:00am)
The 10th annual Kindness Day brought kindness cards, posters, snacks and dog time aplenty last Thursday. Kindness may be something that many find intuitive and can do without thinking about it too much, but Kindness Day is far from simple and doesn’t happen at the drop of a hat. Spearheading the operation are co-coordinators Miriam Berra Krugman ’20 and Emma Forster ’22.

Sleep Well, Brandeis
(11/12/19 11:00am)
Here’s a challenge for you: Ask any Brandeis student what they need more of. Their answers may range from hours in the day to a lot more coffee, and maybe some will just say money, but it seems to be the case that most could use an extra hour or two at night, even if they don’t think so. During “Sleep Week” this past week, organizations ranging from the Department of Community Service to the Brandeis Mountain Club held activities promoting the benefits of sleep, why we need it and why we should take it a lot more seriously than we currently do. “Sleep Week” events included free candy from Community Service, yoga classes and a campus-wide pajama day.
Bias, Bye!
(11/12/19 11:00am)
“None of us are free from unconscious bias,” Rachel Blau ’20 said. Blau is the former tournament director for the Brandeis Mock Trial team, and one of the brains behind the new anti-bias training that the team developed for their tournament judges and for judges around the country. Every year for the past 14 years, Brandeis has hosted a two-day, four-round Mock Trial tournament, planned and run entirely by students. Last year, when Blau and her co-director, Mayan Kleiman ’20, began planning the tournament, they realized they had the power to address this pervasive issue facing mock trial participants.
