The aspiring heart surgeon is currently studying at Oxford’s historic Christ Church College. She has published articles in medical journals and plans to return to university in the next academic year. A friend said: “They see her as someone worth the risk of having around. She might win a Nobel Prize, she is that intelligent.” Woodward voluntarily suspended her studies at Oxford until the end of her sentence, if she decides to return she will need to face a disciplinary procedure. Woodward's name appears on articles published in medical journals including the Annals of Thoracic Surgery, Hypertension, and The Journal of … [Read more...] about Who is Lavinia Woodward?

Bunk bed injuries in college dorms could be avoided
(Reuters Health) - College students who live in dorms with bunk beds could avoid potential injuries by having the proper equipment for their beds and avoiding alcohol-related risks, suggests a recent U.S. study. Students were most likely to hurt themselves while falling off the bed or jumping on or off the bed, which could be prevented, the study authors write in the journal Injury Prevention. About one-fifth of injuries involved alcohol. “We need to get the message out to schools, sororities, fraternities and college preparatory academies with bunk beds to stop these injuries,” said lead author Dr. Randall Loder, an orthopedic surgeon at the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis. Loder said that he and co-author Luke Momper, a medical student, have seen many bunk bed injuries at the James Whitcomb Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis and have analyzed bunk bed injury data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System. After studying … [Read more...] about Bunk bed injuries in college dorms could be avoided

The College That Wants to Take Over Washington
Trump University never died. It’s located in the middle of bucolic southern Michigan, halfway between Lansing and Fort Wayne, 100 miles and a world away from Detroit. It’s a place called Hillsdale College, and on Saturday, May 12, Vice President Mike Pence will bless the right-leaning college’s graduation ceremonies, delivering a commencement address to this year’s 367-strong crop of mostly young conservatives. Story Continued Below Maybe you’ve never heard of Hillsdale. Or maybe you hadn’t heard about the school before it precipitated a floor fight in the Senate during tax bill negotiations last fall. But the tiny Christian college with a graduate school in statesmanship, a strong conservative bent and roots in an anti-slavery Baptist church, has long been a treasured institution in right-of-center circles—known for its required classical liberal arts curriculum, its commitment to a principled conservatism, and its outreach in Washington, … [Read more...] about The College That Wants to Take Over Washington
