SUMMARY:MPR's Cathy Wurzer Interiews Bestselling Author Dr. Robert Waldinger
DESCRIPTION:Local residents are invited to join the Gustavus Adolphus College community as legendary Minnesota Public Radio host Cathy Wurzer interviews bestselling author Dr. Robert Waldinger about his book The Good Life: Lessons from the World’s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness. The free conversation takes place at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday\, April 15 in Björling Recital Hall. \nThe event is the culmination of The Great Gustie Read\, a yearlong program that connects all members of the Gustavus community including students\, faculty\, staff\, alumni\, and local residents. The conversation leads up to inauguration of John C. Volin\, PhD\, as the college’s 18th President on Friday\, April 17. Volin\, who is finishing his first academic year at Gustavus\, chose The Good Life because the book highlights that relationships are the key to leading a life of purpose and meaning. As Volin prepares to finalize Gustavus’s next strategic plan\, themes of lifelong learning\, holistic wellbeing\, and interdisciplinary liberal arts learning have emerged as key areas of focus that will propel the college forward over the next five years and beyond.

SUMMARY:Nobel Conference - Gustavus Adolphus College
DESCRIPTION:Since 1965\, the Nobel Conference has been bringing leading researchers and thinkers to Gustavus\, to explore revolutionary\, transformative and pressing scientific issues and the ethical questions that arise alongside them. As the only event in the United States authorized by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm\, Sweden to use this name\, it is our privilege to host a space in which we can talk about big scientific questions\, and the big ethical issues to which they inevitably give rise. \n2025 Topic: Sugar-Bringing Sweetness to Light \nSugar. In the form of glucose\, it’s the most important source of energy for the human body…and also a substance that can induce cravings as robust as those for cocaine. In the form of cane\, beets\, and corn\, it’s an important crop and commodity…and was a driving force in European colonization and the Atlantic slave trade. It’s a seemingly-irreplaceable element in celebrations\, festivals\, and special treats…and a source of “empty calories” in many prepared and processed foods. Sugar in the form of glucose plays a contributing role in adverse health conditions such as diabetes\, fatty liver disease\, high blood pressure and cancer…and in the form of glycans–complex carbohydrates that cloak the cells of our bodies–it shows promise for playing crucial roles in the treatment of diseases including cancer.
