Yesterday at the beginning of class (the first time for us to meet this semester) I gave every student a marshmallow and told them not to eat it.

Its been along day and I am ready for something to make me smile. Found this and it did the trick - thought I would share. By the way, I talked to my graduating students about the post below and they promise to promote the profession in a positive light. And now - Fact Checker!
