Jason Chrapek is a clinical assistant professor in the kinesiology department at Purdue University. In this video, he explains why it is important to remain active during winter and what people can do to safely exercise in the cold ahead of the New Year. Getting more exercise is a common New Year's resolution. Instead of waiting until January 1st, Chrapek recommends starting exercising now to build momentum going into 2025. Additionally, staying physically active during cold and flu season is a good way to boost the immune system. Exercise can also be helpful for fighting seasonal depression, since physical activity releases mood-boosting hormones called endorphins. During colder days, working out in a gym or attending an exercise class are good indoor activities. For outdoor exercise, Chrapek recommends wearing warm, moisture-wicking clothing and to drink lots of water. - Purdue Expert: How eye-tracking is being used for early autism detection
Brandon Keehn is an associate professor in the College of Health and Human Sciences’ Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at Purdue University. In this video, he offers a solution to enhance the autism diagnostic process. Keehn emphasizes the importance of early intervention when diagnosing autism. However, the number of children needing a diagnosis far exceeds the number of available specialists who can provide one. One solution to these long waitlists is an eye-tracking test. Eye-tracking tests can be used to elicit patterns of gaze behavior that are sensitive to autism. According to Keehn, many of the models currently used to diagnose autism require specialized clinicians. Using eye-tracking tests can offer nonspecialty clinicians a tool to make diagnostic evaluation more accurate and increase availability to underserved areas. - Understanding Capitalism through Brass: Birmingham

Libby Richards is an associate professor in the School of Nursing at Purdue University. In this video, she explains how to protect yourself from respiratory viruses with the holidays approaching. With people traveling more and getting together with friends and family, Richards says close contact to others can lead to disease spread. Richards says the CDC is predicting flu and COVID-19 to increase in the coming weeks and viruses that cause colds and influenza are at peak season December - February. Richards says getting proper vaccinations is the best way to protect yourself and those around you from getting sick. It takes about two weeks for your body to produce enough antibodies to provide protection, so Richards says now is the time to get your vaccines ahead of the holidays if you haven’t done so. Getting enough sleep, having a balanced diet and maintaining physical activity all can help with a healthy immune system. - Students encouraged to compete in Global Supply Chain Case Competition

Libby Richards is an associate professor in the School of Nursing at Purdue University. In this video, she explains how cold weather makes people more vulnerable to illness and what can be done to stay healthy this winter. While cold weather does not directly cause people to become sick, Richards says viruses that cause the flu, Covid 19 and the common cold live longer in colder temperatures and replicate faster. Dry winter air reduces the moisture in the eyes, nose and throat, allowing viruses to cause infection easier. Viruses also spread more easily from person to person during indoor holiday gatherings. Richards recommends that people stay active, wash their hands regularly, drink lots of water and keep up to date on vaccinations. - Democratizing Chip Design: Global Foundries' Strategy in the AI Era

Kevin Kircher is an assistant professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering at Purdue University. In this video, he explains how electrified homes can reduce fossil fuel emissions and save money for homeowners. Electrifying a home means replacing equipment that often runs on fossil fuels, like furnaces and water heaters, with electric versions of those devices. Kircher says that 10% of greenhouse gas emissions come from burning fossil fuels in homes and businesses. Electrifying buildings can help reduce the progression of climate change and help save money. Switching to electrical appliances can lower energy costs, allowing homeowners to save a significant amount on their energy bill each month. Replacing gas powered appliances can also improve indoor air quality, reducing the risk of childhood asthma and other respiratory illnesses. Kircher’s team is developing software that coordinates the many devices needed for an all-electric home. - Family Offices Have a Unique Capacity for Revitalizing our Economy through Creative Disruption

Susan Kersey is a clinical assistant professor in the School of Nursing and a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner at Purdue University. In this video, she explains how people can recognize seasonal depression and what they can do to treat it. Formerly known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD), Major Depressive Disorder with a Seasonal Pattern is when individuals begin experiencing symptoms of depression at a certain time of year, usually in the fall or winter. Symptoms can include decreased energy, difficulty concentrating, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, and even thoughts of death or suicide. Kersey says women are four times more likely to experience this phenomenon than men. However, men are more likely to reject the idea that they are experiencing a depressive episode than women. People in northern states are more likely to suffer from seasonal depression than those in southern states. Kersey encourages people to interact regularly with friends and family during the fall and winter months. If symptoms are starting to interfere with relationships or the ability to accomplish tasks, she recommends reaching out for help. People struggling can call or text 988 or to mental health organizations such as Mental Health America. - Purdue University unveils new programs in Indianapolis for fall 2025

Andrew Whelton is a professor of civil engineering and environmental and ecological engineering at Purdue University who studies the impact of wildfires on drinking water systems. He has traveled numerous times to the sites of major U.S. wildfires in recent years to assist government agencies and local municipalities in recovery efforts. As the Los Angeles area deals with multiple wildfires and their aftereffects, he notes that it can generally take a few days to over a year to find and repair damage from a wildfire to a water system and restore service to a community. When too many structures get destroyed, a water system can become depressurized, which makes it more vulnerable to chemical contamination. While communities are waiting to hear what impacts have occurred, they should pay attention to information and guidance from their local water utility leaders and health officials. Sometimes wildfire-contaminated water is fine to use for bathing, for example, even though it’s not safe to drink. - Why Working Long Hours Hurts Your Work Performance
Professionals often take pride in working long hours. Others work excessive hours because their supervisors reward only those who are always at work. Data from Clockify, a time tracking software solution, suggest that the average full-time employee in the U.S. works 260 hours per year more than employees in thriving countries such as Australia, Canada, France, and the Netherlands. That is more than six full-time workweeks per year or 1.1 hours per day. In many organizations, there is a silent understanding that more hours equate to high performance. Research, however, tells a different story. - Mitch Daniels on Boosting Government Efficiency: Key Takeaways
