    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    “Bad Blood” by John Carreyrou tells the gripping story of Theranos, a health-tech company founded by Elizabeth Holmes, who promised to revolutionize medical testing with a device that could perform a wide range of tests from just a few drops of blood. The book explores themes of ambition, deception, and corporate greed, revealing how Holmes’s relentless drive for success led her to mislead investors, doctors, and patients about the effectiveness of her technology. Carreyrou’s investigation uncovers the dark side of Silicon Valley’s culture, highlighting the dangers of unchecked ambition and the ethical cost of innovation at any price.

    The Cost of Inclusion - How...

    Young people are told that college is a place where they will “find themselves” by engaging with diversity and making friendships that will last a lifetime. This vision of an inclusive, diverse social experience is a fundamental part of the image colleges sell potential students. But what really happens when students arrive on campus and enter this new social world? The Cost of Inclusion delves into this rich moment to explore the ways students seek out a sense of belonging and the sacrifices they make to fit in. 
     
    Blake R. Silver spent a year immersed in student life at a large public university. He trained with the Cardio Club, hung out with the Learning Community, and hosted service events with the Volunteer Collective. Through these day-to-day interactions, he witnessed how students sought belonging and built their social worlds on campus. Over time, Silver realized that these students only achieved inclusion at significant cost. To fit in among new peers, they clung to or were pushed into raced and gendered cultural assumptions about behavior, becoming “the cool guy,” “the nice girl,” “the funny one,” “the leader,” “the intellectual,” or “the mom of the group.” Instead of developing dynamic identities, they crafted and adhered to a cookie-cutter self, one that was rigid and two-dimensional. Silver found that these students were ill-prepared for the challenges of a diverse college campus, and that they had little guidance from their university on how to navigate the trials of social engagement or the pressures to conform. While colleges are focused on increasing the diversity of their enrolled student body, Silver’s findings show that they need to take a hard look at how they are failing to support inclusion once students arrive on campus.

    SUPER MARIO BROS 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
      
    CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
      
    Super Mario Bros, a 1985 platformer for the NES, is a cornerstone of video game history. It stars Mario and Luigi in a quest to rescue Princess Toadstool from Bowser. The game features side-scrolling levels with enemies and power-ups like the Super Mushroom, Fire Flower, and Starman. Its level design is considered a tutorial for platform gameplay. It was a key factor in the video game industry revival after the 1983 crash and popularized the side-scrolling platform genre. The game's music, composed by Koji Kondo, is also highly regarded. Super Mario Bros. has had numerous re-releases and remakes. It has also been adapted to other media including anime, live-action film, and pinball. 
      
    CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
      
    Super Mario Bros. was designed by Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka, who drew from their experiences working on previous games like Devil World and Excitebike. The game was intended to be a culmination of the Famicom team's three years of experience in game mechanics and programming. 
      
    The first level of Super Mario Bros., World 1-1, was designed as a tutorial to teach players the mechanics of platform gameplay. It introduces in-game hazards through repetition and escalation, allowing players to gradually understand the game. 
      
    The game's music, composed by Koji Kondo, was created to not only be catchy but to also enhance the emotional and physical experience of the player. The music was coordinated with the onscreen animations, which created a sense of greater immersion.
