When people binge eat, it’s rarely broccoli or apples on the menu. Instead, foods like cake, cookies, ice cream and chocolate consistently show up—and a new #UMich study suggests that’s no coincidence. 🔗: https://myumi.ch/W67Mw

Oil prices are most greatly affected by OPEC, inventory & geopolitics, but most consumers say gas prices affect their view of the economy. One reason is likely the way gas prices are displayed, on huge, neon signs. #UMich prof @scottianrick.bsky.social via @marketplace.org 🔗: https://myumi.ch/3RAgV

"Even though the U.S. is not directly impacted, in the sense that we are not getting oil and gas from the Strait of Hormuz, oil and gas are globally traded commodities. Prices rise. ... The costs and the risks are distributed throughout, including here for the U.S. consumer," said Jatin Dua, associate professor of anthropology and director of the Oceans Lab
The shipping disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz since the outbreak of the Iran war have led Trump to offer risk insurance to oil tankers near Iran. Jatin Dua, associate professor of anthropology at #UMich and director of the Oceans Lab, discusses on @cbsnews.com.

Lanyo’s quote: “Rackham is the reason why I am here today. I may have been qualified, I may have been admitted, but if I did not have funding for my Ph.D., I wouldn’t be able to come here and do my Ph.D. and change the world in my own small way. To the leadership, management, funders, donors, and everybody making it possible: I am so grateful, sincerely.

New research shows that teens are getting less sleep than ever before, & screen time isn't necessarily to blame—it could be earlier school start times, too many extracurricular demands, & less parental monitoring. #UMich prof Anita Shelgikar discussed with @npr.org. 🔗 https://myumi.ch/5kgn9

Seen in #Northeast #DC - while I do not have proof the people who live here are #UMich #goblue alumni, damn that is commitment.
And I thought me ordering a #blue vehicle (a relatively rare car color, never available to drive off the lot) was love for the cause 😂
"Ex-Michigan coach Sheronne Moore"? What?? "Reaches plea deal"? What?? Somehow I missed the whole of this! He started with such high hopes! Bad enough that #UMich caved to Trump's anti-DEI demands—but then to see the career of #MichiganFootball 's first Black coach end this way. Horribly sad.

📸 From the Bentley Historical Library archives: Rackham's big billboard! During the final stages of construction in 1938, a temporary informational billboard was installed in front of the building to help U-M clearly announce the building's purpose and its benefactors.

VP/President Ford was cool enough that the #UMich marching band played The #Victors for him at his #funeral
If JD lives as long as Ford did (50 years from now), I highly doubt anyone will even remember his name, let alone play Buckeye fight song for him
