Meeting Hygiene

By
In the modern workplace, meetings have become the default setting for collaboration—yet too often, they’re also the single greatest drain on productivity, energy, and momentum. Is your calendar filled with gatherings that lack purpose, direction, or clear outcomes? The solution isn’t fewer meetings; it’s better ones. This is where Meeting Hygiene comes in. What is Meeting Hygiene? Meeting Hygiene is the disciplined framework of practices and norms that ensure every meeting is purposeful, inclusive, efficient, and outcome-driven. It moves meetings from being passive calendar obligations to active, valuable working sessions that respect participants' time and intelligence. Think of it as the operational standard for how your team gathers: it governs the why, who, how, and what next of every interaction.

Contents
Introduction to Neuroscience is designed for undergraduate students enrolled in a typical 2-semester sequence of introductory neuroscience courses. This book specifically targets students enrolled in Introduction to Neuroscience 1 and Introduction to Neuroscience 2 and primarily contains topics covered in those courses.
This book will guide students through concepts, such as: the structure and function of nervous system cells and nervous system structures; the different sensory systems; motor systems; motivation and reward; stress; sex and the brain; emotions; nervous system disorders; learning; and memory.
This text has been remixed and revised from two different open educational resources aimed at undergraduate neuroscience students:
Foundations of Neuroscience by Casey Henley, Michigan State University
The Open Neuroscience Initiative by Austin Lim, DePaul University
In addition, new original content has been added to supplement what was provided in the above texts. The text includes many images and animations throughout and will be divided into shorter chapters that focus on a single topic. As this text is meant for undergraduate students, the writing is aimed at students that have not taken a neuroscience course before. Neuroscience terminology will be defined throughout the text through the use of the embedded Glossary terms to help with ease of reading. Each chapter will end with an interactive quiz for student self-evaluation of the content.

Echoes of the Dusty Road: A Journey Through Darkness/The Unusual Journey of Compassion

Echoes of the Dusty Road" is a poignant journey through darkness, where courage prevails and hope guides the way home A Journey Through Darkness In the depths of shadows, where echoes roam, Along the dusty road, I find my home. Through valleys of shadows, I bravely stride, Guided by hope, with courage as my guide. In the midst of darkness, where shadows dance, I stand alone, with fear's icy lance. But amidst the howling wind and whispered dire, I choose to believe, fueled by inner fire. In the stillness of the night, whispers softly sing, Reminding me of truths, to which I cling. With resolve in my heart, I press on, Through the darkness, until the light of dawn. In the depths of shadows, where courage prevails, I find strength within, as hope unfurls its sails. For in the journey through darkness, I come to see, The dusty road home, is where I'm meant to be. Through the maze of uncertainty, I forge ahead, With each step, dispelling the fear and dread. Though shadows ma...
