Do you frequently react strongly to other people or situations instead of thoughtfully responding? These common experiences indicate a lack of awareness, or mindfulness, in your day-to-day life. What does science say about mindfulness that you, as a farmer, can you use to feel healthier and more joyful? What is mindfulness? Researchers and doctors define mindfulness as the state of being

Balance problems that often accompany aging can lead to falls and injury. Research has also shown a strong link between balance disorders such as unsteady gait or vertigo and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. An SIU Medicine research scientist has been awarded a $3.2 million grant from the National Institute on Aging to study how cumulative damage to specific hair cells in the inner ear can lead to these troubling balance problems. Her lab will also investigate whether this process is enhanced when there is a predisposition to develop Alzheimer’s disease. Brandon Cox, PhD, and her
