"...in the bottom of the 9th inning, those very same polls currently illustrate a fierce competition between the Conservatives and the Liberals," writes Aly Kamadia, Editor-In-Chief of iDose (Oct. 16th, 2019)
"When it comes to careers and romantic relationships, we appear to hold to a singular myth: We believe that there is that one perfect job/career or that there is one “right” person who will lead to a “happily ever after.” However, in both cases, this is a myth", writes Ronald E. Riggio, Claremont McKenna College (Oct. 16th, 2019)
"I keep hearing that the Democratic primary is coming down to someone who’s “electable” versus someone who has 'ideas.' This is pure nonsense. Beating Donald Trump requires getting out the vote. And in order to get people to turn out and vote, a presidential candidate has to be inspiring," writes Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor (Clinton administration), University of California (Oct. 16th, 2019)
"The good news is that the very best time to start exercising is now. Research from the United States and the United Kingdom reveals that middle-aged and older adults can reduce their risk of death by becoming more physically active, irrespective of past physical activity levels," writes Scott Lear, Simon Fraser University (Oct. 16th, 2019)

"...a man who had suffered from two ethics scandals and the blackface controversy walked away from the debate untouched. Not once did we witness a desperate Trudeau pinned to the ground by verbal assaults from Scheer, Singh, or any of the other candidates," writes Aly Kamadia, Editor-In-Chief of iDose (Oct. 9th, 2019)
"For most experiences in life, no matter how good it makes you feel the first time it happens, it feels less good the more you experience it. A great restaurant may be a peak experience the first time you eat there, but bring you less joy each time you go there again. You may love hearing a particular song the first time it plays, but it won’t be as uplifting the 50th time as it was the first. But, what happens with the joy you get from doing something for someone else?" writes Art Markman, University of Texas (Oct. 9th, 2019)
"That leaves outcome number four, easily the most probable: while the House will impeach, the Senate will decline to convict. Trump will therefore stay right where he is, with the matter of his fitness for office effectively deferred to the November 2020 elections. Except as a source of sadomasochistic diversion, the entire agonizing experience will, therefore, prove to be a colossal waste of time and blather," writes Andrew J. Bacevich, Boston University, President of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft (Oct. 9th, 2019)
