Professor
Suzuki engaged the audience with a dynamic lecture on the ability of
exercise to enhance learning, memory, cognition, and recovery from
addictions. Suzuki's energy and enthusiasm for exercise was catching:
she surprised attendees by leading everyone in a vigorous five minute
exercise routine! A thoughtful question and answer session followed the
lecture and provoked rich discussion.

knew sharing crispy duck and succulent plum sauce could be
inspirational!? WINS scholars took time away from their hectic
schedules to share in the joy of food and conversation. Laughter and
the sound of cracking fortune cookies suppressed the stress of the day,
and provided a spurt of energy for the rest of the week. |
| December 6, 2010 : Night at the MoviesWINS gets proactive with BAG IT!Being environmentally conscious, WINS sponsored a showing of the documentary film, BAG IT: Is Your Life Too Plastic? Through
a blend of humor and well-researched information, interviews, and
personal commentary, Susan Beraza's film challenges viewers to question
their reliance on plastic in their daily lives, from such consumer
products as water bottles to the ubiquitous plastic shopping bag. WINS
members and attendees lingered afterwards to debate the issues presented
in the film over a meal of lamb kebabs and hummus. |
