Is all this stress really necessary?
It is 2 a.m. and you’re thinking to yourself, “How did I get into this situation again?” You know, where you promised yourself you wouldn’t get behind in that subject again. As you come to a full understanding of your circumstances, your heart begins to race because you realize you still have to nail down cardiac embryology for the anatomy exam in the morning. (Those of you who have taken anatomy, you know that is no easy feat!) You think to yourself, “I had plenty of time to study for this exam, so where did all the time go?” At this point, stress and the foramen ovale are the only things on your mind. With stress taking up a significant portion of your brainpower, you are not just studying late, but quite inefficiently.

Friday recipe: tofu sesame almond cookies
by Barb Boose
I had the great pleasure last week of observing a nutrition/healthy cooking class taught in the University’s wellness center kitchen by David Spreadbury, Ph.D., chair of biochemistry and nutrition; Wayne Wilson, Ph.D., associate professor of biochemistry and nutrition; and Joy Schiller, M.S., CHES, wellness program director. This very popular elective lets osteopathic medical students apply their knowledge of nutrition in preparing healthy, delicious meals. Their experiences, the students agree, will help them counsel their future patients on diets and dishes that are healthful, delicious, affordable and not too complicated or time-consuming to prepare. Plus students in the class get a really wonderful meal every week.
