Weishaar: Anti-fat medical professionals perpetuate inadequate care, distrust

Audrey Weishaar, Collegian Columnist January 28, 2025
I have heard all sorts of anti-fat rhetoric in my life: “Just lose weight;” “Try this diet;” and “Work out more.” The list goes on and on. And in recent months, I have heard so many people talking about Ozempic and the weight loss associated with it. Bariatric surgery is another big one I’ve heard tossed around.

Souza: Why your New Year’s resolutions don’t stick

Emma Souza, Collegian Columnist January 27, 2025
The product of my New Year’s resolutions — and likely yours — is a girl I do not recognize. She is ambitious in the same way I was Dec. 31, with a laundry list of goals and affirmations, but she does not carry the laziness and doubt that prevented 2024 me from completing them.
The laser bay of Colorado State University’s Laboratory for Advanced Lasers and Extreme Photonics Oct. 29. The bay is where the laser passes through several stages, with mirrors and crystals at each stage that shape and refine the laser as it goes, until it eventually comes out in the chamber where researchers can conduct experiments. Ghassan Zeraouli, a post-doctoral staff scientist at the lab, explained that the laser operates at about ten pulses per second. “We take those ten pulses, and we stretch them in time so that we can amplify them,” he said. “We start with smaller pulses, with less energy, and we use another laser to amplify those little pulses. The laser can be amplified in different stages.”
