  Endocrinology - Hormones...

  Endocrinology is the branch of medicine and biology that deals with the study of the endocrine system, which includes glands and organs that secrete hormones into the bloodstream. These hormones are chemical messengers that help regulate various bodily functions, including metabolism, growth, reproduction, and mood. The endocrine system works in concert with the nervous system to maintain homeostasis, the body’s internal balance, and respond to external stimuli. 
  At the core of the endocrine system are the endocrine glands, which include the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, and testes. Each of these glands produces specific hormones that target various organs and tissues throughout the body. The hypothalamus, located in the brain, acts as the command center for the endocrine system. It sends signals to the pituitary gland, which in turn regulates other glands. The thyroid gland, for example, produces thyroid hormones that control metabolism, while the adrenal glands release corticosteroids and catecholamines in response to stress. 
  One of the defining characteristics of the endocrine system is its regulation through feedback mechanisms, primarily negative feedback loops. In these loops, the secretion of a hormone is reduced or increased based on the levels of that hormone in the blood. For example, when blood glucose levels rise, the pancreas secretes insulin to lower them. Once glucose levels return to normal, insulin secretion decreases. These feedback systems help the body adapt to changing conditions and maintain a stable internal environment.

  Awkward - The Science of Why...

  In the vein of Quiet and The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth comes this illuminating look at what it means to be awkward—and how the same traits that make us socially anxious and cause embarrassing faux pas also provide the seeds for extraordinary success. 
  As humans, we all need to belong. While modern social life can make even the best of us feel gawky, for roughly one in five of us, navigating its challenges is consistently overwhelming—an ongoing maze without an exit. Often unable to grasp social cues or master the skills and grace necessary for smooth interaction, we feel out of sync with those around us. Though individuals may recognize their awkward disposition, they rarely understand why they are like this—which makes it hard for them to know how to adjust their behavior. 
  Psychologist and interpersonal relationship expert Ty Tashiro knows what it’s like to be awkward. Growing up, he could do math in his head and memorize the earned run averages of every National League starting pitcher. But he couldn’t pour liquids without spilling and habitually forgot to bring his glove to Little League games. In Awkward, he unpacks decades of research into human intelligence, neuroscience, personality, and sociology to help us better understand this widely shared trait. He explores its nature vs. nurture origins, considers how the awkward view the world, and delivers a welcome counterintuitive message: the same characteristics that make people socially clumsy can be harnessed to produce remarkable achievements.  
  Interweaving the latest research with personal tales and real world examples, Awkward offers reassurance and provides valuable insights into how we can embrace our personal quirks and unique talents to harness our awesome potential—and more comfortably navigate our complex world.
