Cheers to Health? Understanding the Science Behind

Cheers to Health?
Understanding the Science Behind Beer’s Benefits and Risks
By: Anish Arumugam & Vaishnavi Srinath

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), excessive alcohol consumption is linked to a range of health issues—from liver disease to increased cancer risk and cognitive impairment.
…
Although beer isn’t likely to become a go-to workout drink, some research suggests that—in moderation—it might not be harmful to athletes. Certain compounds found in beer—such as polyphenols and antioxidants—can help combat the oxidative stress caused by intense exercise.

“There’s something to be said about the psychological benefits of moderate drinking, particularly in a communal setting. It helps people relax, de-stress and even bond with one another—which can improve mental well-being.”—John Wilson, an Assistant Professor of Food Science and Human Nutrition at Colorado State University

State Flags Should be Changed Why redesigning bori

State Flags Should be Changed
Why redesigning boring flags is important
By: J.J. Christensen

In Maine, amongst all the local state ordinances being voted on, is “Question 5, State Flag Referendum.” This referendum is on changing their state flag from the standard “Seal on a Bedsheet” design to a flag more unique and representative of Maine as a whole.
…
I am, broadly, in favor of states updating their flags. I think that the current flags that represent—say, Oregon—are indistinct and muddled into a vague mass of different blue shades when shown alongside each other. Creating new flags that not only better represent a state’s heritage and culture but are also more visually appealing would help people feel a deeper connection and pride with that state. Regional identities in the U.S. are hard to maintain as it is and are made all the more difficult to maintain when states and regions are devoid of good, interesting symbolism.

Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Association at PSU

Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Association at PSU presents Brains on Crafts
Creativity and the Brain
By: Sarah Applin

The Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Association at PSU hosts Brains on Crafts every Wednesday, bringing the PSU community together to explore how the brain responds to creativity—complete with food! The Neuroscience Association connects students across the university and between research development.

“Using art as a way to engage people in science is a helpful way of understanding things that have been historically taught to us in really binary ways.”—Sam Mutschler-Aldine, Science Officer in the Neuroscience Association

Practicing Self-Care at PSU ASPSU hosts weekly Cam

ASPSU hosts weekly Camellia Self-Care Group for students
By: Noah Carandanis and Isaiah Burns

Portland State University (PSU) community has undergone its fair share of tumultuous events in recent years. As a largely commuter campus, it can be difficult to find spaces where one can process hardships and trauma that occur at PSU. Mental health challenges and grief encountered downtown do not need to be faced alone.

The Associated Students of Portland State University’s (ASPSU) Mental Health Awareness Ad-Hoc Committee is holding the Camellia Self-Care Group from Nov. 6 to Nov. 27. The group is committed to providing a space for students to process any grief or mental health struggles they may be experiencing.

“We saw a strong need for spaces like these, where students can come together and feel free to share their feelings in a supportive, safe environment. Everyone has things going on in their daily lives that impact their well-being, and we wanted to create a place where students can address these feelings without judgment - letting them know that there are people who are willing to listen and care for them.”—Karen Agustin-Paz—an ASPSU Senator
