Concussions & How to Repair Your Gray Noodle

Thursday, 20 January 2022 by RISQ Consulting
By Jennifer Outcelt, Creative Content Architect

Here I am again, sharing a head banging episode of my favorite podcast, Ologies! Why do I keep pushing these on you? Well, it’s simple; Ologies is amazing, and I want only amazing things for you.

Speaking of amazing things, your brain is by far the most complicated, resilient, and beautiful organ in your body. It is also the most meta organ out there. It literally uses itself to learn more about itself. So hipster, am I right? Anyhoo.

Sometimes these crazy cool brains get conked and can cause concussions, creating confusion and discomfort (and possibly excessive use of alteration). This episode is ALL about concussions and the whats, whys, and hows of everything in between injury and full recovery. The main take away; take care of that noggin! Also, go to the doctor for head trauma! Learn more about this common injury and how to repair that beautiful gray noodle by listening to the Neuropathology episode on the Ologies podcast at the link below.

There’s Snow Way This Doesn’t Blow Your Mind

Monday, 10 January 2022 by RISQ Consulting
By Jennifer Outcelt, Creative Content Architect

It seems obvious that any Alaskan resident would be highly familiar with the fluffy, cold, and magical substance known as “snow”.  It surrounds us for approximately 42 months out of the year (or at least that’s how it feels) and is literally everywhere; on our cars, in our yards, on our hiking trails, and sometimes in our homes if we have young kids. But the last time you looked up at the cloudy sky to watch the tiny flakes fall down, did you wonder, “how the heck does snow even happen?”

Sure, you might have learned in 4th grade about the water cycle and maybe about snow more specifically. But could you win Jeopardy! with a question about snow? I know there is “snow” way I could. And neither could my mom when I asked her about snow formation the other day while driving. We were both stumped and a bit ashamed of our knowledge gap. I didn’t want to google it because I was pretty sure it would knock a few experience points off my Alaskan resident card. However, vanity be dammed, I googled it anyway. I had to know the what, when, where, how, why of snow.

I found a very informative, yet concise, website explaining how snow becomes snow and it definitely blew my mind. The world is amazing, and I have a new appreciation for my Alaskan winter landscape. Enjoy this read and I hope the magic of snow blows your mind the next time you’re snow blowing your driveway.
