ELAM News to Know
The 2015 ELUM Development Program
We had another successful ELUM Professional Development program in Durham, NC this past January. We were all introduced to the exciting and ground breaking field of Positive Psychology and learned ways to integrate it into our daily lives. The turn out for the one day program was fantastic - 30+ ELUMs, from both ELAM and ELATE.
We will be posting a synopsis of the program
on our website soon.
  Speaking of positive psychology, renowned researcher on the subject, Barbara Fredrickson, of UNC Chapel Hill is offering a 6 week course (free to us) on the subject. No background in science or psychology is needed. Click this link https://www.coursera.org/course/positivepsych.
Please Join Us
for our
American Dental Education Association (ADEA) ELUM Networking Workshop
Sunday, March 8
5 - 7 pm
Jamaica Pond Room of the Sheraton Boston Hotel
Whether you're attending ADEA, or an ELUM local to the area, we'd love to see you! ELAM is being awarded with a

Vision, Innovation and Achievement,
so we'll be celebrating that as well!

Articles of Note
Nature World News, July 30, 2013:
Human Body Distinguishes Between 'Hedonic' and 'Eudaimonic' Happiness on a Molecular Level
Even on a molecular level, the human body is able to distinguish between a sense of well-being derived from a profound, "noble" purpose versus simple self-gratification, a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reports. [Note that Barbara Fedrickson will be working with us on next year's ELUM Professional Development program - stay tuned to the Edge and your email for more information!]
The New York Times Sunday Review, January 16, 2015:
Why Some Teams Are Smarter Than Others
ENDLESS meetings that do little but waste everyone's time. Dysfunctional committees that take two steps back for every one forward. Project teams that engage in wishful groupthinking rather than honest analysis. Everyone who is part of an organization - a company, a nonprofit, a condo board - has experienced these and other pathologies that can occur when human beings try to work together in groups. But does teamwork have to be a lost cause?
The New York Times, February 2, 2015:
A Future Segregated by Science?
Few women and minorities are getting STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) degrees, although STEM jobs are multiplying and pay more than many other careers.
This raises the question: Will our future be highly delineated by who does and who doesn't have a science education (and the resulting higher salary), making for even more entrenched economic inequality by race and gender? According to the National Math and Science Initiative: "STEM job creation over the next 10 years will outpace non-STEM jobs significantly, growing 17 percent, as compared to 9.8 percent for non-STEM positions." And yet, the group says, we are not producing enough STEM graduates; other countries are moving ahead of us. When you look at women and minorities, the situation is even more bleak.

The Last Word
AAMC CFAS-News, January 23, 2015:
And finally, a UC Davis exhibit, "Sketches of Science: Photo Sessions With Nobel Laureates," invited Nobel prize winners to pose with large crayon drawings they made of their landmark discoveries. Who says brilliant scientists aren't good at coloring?
