Who Needs A Classroom Podcast

After testing positive for both Covid and the flu, the Professor had some anecdotal evidence to share--mostly relating to his symptoms and the overall experience of being sick with Omicron.

The world of youth sports can be a real test for even the most patient, level headed parents and kids. After spending the last 12 months coaching his son in 3 different sports, the Professor highlights two key points of focus that can be used by both children and adults: attitude and effort. While many things are out of our hands, the perspective we utilize to assess our situation and the work ethic we’re willing to put towards our goals are largely in our control.

How do we make sense of all the tragedy in the world? How can we get anything done with all the madness going on? Sometimes we have to put blinders on, narrow our focus, and create a bubble that works for us. 

After taking a break to reassess and recalibrate what’s important, the Professor is back with a new season of episodes. Since you can’t do it all, and you especially can’t do it all today, each of us has to figure out what our priorities are if we hope to progress towards them. Spending some time figuring out our why and our what can help save us a lot of wasted energy on things that aren’t important. Actualizing our vision involves aligning our big goals with our everyday little habits.

Part 4 of the Professor's series on Biostatistics. Epidemiologists know that if we can hold on a little longer, we can beat this thing. Remember that even if you're vaccinated, kids everywhere aren't. If we jump the gun and try to get back to normal too soon, we'll end up making this drag out even longer--and endanger millions of people in the process.
