The semester project involves creating a Planetline path through 10 Biology-related locations. Each location must be described in a paragraph and connected to a course concept. Two locations must relate to recent Biology news, one must involve a Biology event attended, and 4-5 locations should include photos, references, or both. An example path includes locations like a grocery store discussing GMOs, a wetland discussing ecosystem services, and an apiary involving pollination and mutualism.

Sparking Creativity at Any Given Moment

Access Emanate

In public relations, we see a lot of creative things. In fact, we do a lot of creative things. Our creative ideas are what our clients depend on us for – they are what helps their brand stand out from the crowd. And because most of the time we are zipping around near the speed of light like particles in the Large Hadron Collider, we need to be able to get creative at a moment’s notice. We asked some of our staff to share what they do when they need to spark creativity in themselves or their colleagues. From wearing their favorite hoodie to making bootleg Pinterest boards, we hope their tricks will inspire you. Enjoy.

Creating Engaged Workforce

Amna Al Mansoori

This research report summarizes findings from a two-year study on employee engagement conducted by the Kingston Employee Engagement Consortium. The study involved collecting data through questionnaires and interviews from eight organizations across different sectors in the UK, with a total of 5,291 questionnaire respondents and around 180 interviews. The report defines employee engagement as having three core facets: intellectual engagement, affective engagement, and social engagement. It finds that overall engagement levels are moderately low in the sample, and explores differences in engagement across contexts and employee groups. Key drivers of engagement are identified as meaningful work, employee voice, management communication and vision, and supportive work environments. The report also links engagement to positive organizational and individual outcomes.
