The Kids Are All Right, Jerry Zezima

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

When I became a grandfather almost four years ago, I learned that babysitting is child's play: As long as you play with the child, are willing to do diaper duty and don't confuse the kid's bottle with your own, you can be a great grandfather. But what would happen if you had two grandchildren - one preschooler and one infant - to babysit?

Girl Scout Badges For Boomers, Roxanne Jones

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

If you were a Girl Scout in the '50s or '60s, remember the badges we earned (or didn't, depending on our proclivities)? Most of them focused on traditional stuff like homemaking, sewing and cooking. Well, we've come a long way, baby. So it occurred to me that we should be awarded an entirely different set of badges based on our achievements in midlife. Here's a sampling of some badges we could earn and the tasks we must complete to do so.

Locking Up Families Is Inhumane—And Unconstitutional, Lynnette Arnold, Miranda Cady Hallett

Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work Faculty Publications

From the fear of asylum-seekers in Western Europe to the panic around “illegals” in the United States, there is a global backlash against immigrants. These sentiments are increasingly accompanied by a crackdown in enforcement. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed 352,882 people in detention facilities during fiscal year 2016, a sharp increase from the 193,951 detained in 2015.

U.S. President Donald Trump promises to lock up exponentially more, having made the fight against “illegal immigration” a central plank of his campaign platform. But who are the people incarcerated in these immigration prisons? What are they …

Impact Of Icebergs On Net Primary Productivity In The Southern Ocean, Shuang-Ye Wu, Shugui Hou

Department of Earth, Environment and Sustainability Faculty Publications

Productivity in the Southern Ocean (SO) is iron-limited, and supply of iron dissolved from aeolian dust is believed to be the main source from outside the marine environment. However, recent studies show that icebergs could provide a comparable amount of bioavailable iron to the SO as aeolian dust. In addition, small-scale areal studies suggest increased concentrations of chlorophyll, krill, and seabirds surrounding icebergs. Based on previous research, this study aims to examine whether iceberg occurrence has a significant impact on marine productivity at the scale of the SO, using remote sensing data of iceberg occurrences and ocean net primary productivity …
