        <div  class="newsletter-txt">August  Public  Affairs  Minute  from  Dean  Robert  Smith



Human  beings  are  frail  and  susceptible  to  any  number  of  environmental,  interpersonal  and  societal  influences.  That  is  still  our  nature  despite  our  growth  in  intellect  and  sophistication  and  our  lessons  of  history.  Many  in  the  sciences  and  medicine  are  still  trying  to  discover  and  sort  out  how  we  think,  feel,  process  and  socialize  with  one  another.  There  is  much  to  learn  about  individual  and  group  interactions  in  society.</div>

        <div  class="newsletter-txt">I  learned  about  politics  when  I  asked  for  a  new  bike  at  age&nbsp;seven.  First  my  mom,  and  then  my  dad,&nbsp;asked  me  if  the  other  parent  had  agreed&nbsp;to  this  life-changing  purchase.  They  had  the  authority  to  make&nbsp;the  decision,  of&nbsp;course,  but  I  soon  realized  that  they  were  also  cooperating  among  each  other&nbsp;along  the&nbsp;way.  In  the  meantime,  I  was  running  interference  between  my  parents.&nbsp;I  could  tell  that  my  mom  was&nbsp;supportive  of  my  quest  for  a  bike,  so  I  teamed  up&nbsp;with  her  to  convince  my  dad.</div>

You’ve  seen  the  headlines  about  climate  change,  the  extinction  crisis,  the  fact  that  plastic  residues  are  showing  up  in  our  blood  stream  and  in  the  most  remote  corners  of  the  world  –  and  you  want  to&nbsp;know  more&nbsp;and&nbsp;do  more.&nbsp;  An  ENS  degree  will  help  you  understand  these  complex  issues,  explain  them  to  others,  and  decide  what  happens  next.</div>
