On this week's Through The Eyes Of Women, Dr. Corinne Frugoni talks with Victoria Sweet about her new book, "Slow Medicine". 

Over the years that Victoria has been a physician, "healthcare" has replaced medicine, "providers" look at their laptops more than their patients, and costs keep soaring. Yet the remedy that economists and policy makers continue to miss is also miraculously simple. Good medicine takes more than amazing technology; it takes time - time to respond to bodies as well as data, time to arrive at the right diagnosis and the right treatment.

The Awakening is a novel by Kate Chopin, first published in 1899. Set in New Orleans and on the Louisiana Gulf coast at the end of the 19th century, the plot centers on Edna Pontellier and her struggle between her increasingly unorthodox views on femininity and motherhood with the prevailing social attitudes of the turn-of-the-century American South. It is one of the earliest American novels that focuses on women's issues without condescension. Classics Now hosts Mary Harper and Solomon Everta discuss Pontellier's struggles.

The California Earthquake Alliance has developed seven steps for earthquake safety. 

Geologist Lori Dengler emphasizes "step 1": Recognize your hazards.

Travel challenges abound for Humboldt County residents, typically ranging from airplanes and fog to copious amounts of rain and subsequent landslides. 

HSU President Rossbacher's recent jaunt down to the CSU Chancellor's office turned into the epic journey many of us easily recognize.

Musician, Andrew Bird is known for his eclectic style of music which ranges from classic violin, early jazz, country blues, Gypsy and of course--whistling.

His newest album is number two out of a four part series called Echolocations. Bird will be performing some of his songs from Echolocations: Rivers at Humboldt State University on October 23, 2017 at the Van Duzer Theatre. 

KHSU spoke with Bird about his unique sound and what brings him back to the redwoods this year. 

"Solitude.  I think that’s one of the major food groups in my life."  Dr. Kathleen Doty provides a personal perspective on what solitude means to her.  Kathleen is a Professor in the English Department at HSU with an impressive list of publications and research in the areas of linguistic analysis of literature, language of the Salem witchcraft trials, and stylistics.  She's also an introvert who works to balance her need for solitude with her enjoyment of an active social life.   

Geologist Lori Dengler encourages all of us to take part in the Great California ShakeOut Drill, an annual event to practice what to do when you feel an earthquake.
