???? "Hacking College" by authors Ned Scott Laff and Scott Carlson is a groundbreaking guide for college advisors, faculty, and staff in student and academic affairs that rethinks higher education so that students can succeed in an increasingly complex world. Through vivid case studies, the authors advocate for a proactive approach to education—encouraging students to "hack" their college experience by crafting a personalized field of study. This method challenges the traditional focus on declaring a major and empowers students to link their personal interests with academic pursuits so that their education aligns with future career and life goals. https://lnkd.in/e7yM37CA

Big news for Project MUSE and Hopkins Press Journals!! ???? Congratulations and thanks to all participants for making Subscribe to Open a reality!

New in paperback! ?? During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Peter J. Hotez worked around the clock to develop a nonprofit vaccine and to keep the public informed, leading him to endure antagonism from anti-vaxxers while simultaneously being at the forefront of essential scientific discovery and advocacy. By weaving his personal experiences together with information on how the anti-vaccine movement became a tool of far-right political figures around the world, Dr. Hotez's "The Deadly Rise of Anti-science" opens readers' eyes to the dangers of anti-science while also offering innate optimism and solutions for combating science denial. https://lnkd.in/eQ8ympTb
