  • Olivia Bowser Transcript
    This transcript was exported on Feb 02, 2021 - view latest version here. John Boccacino: Hello, and welcome back to the 'Cuse Conversations Podcast. My name is John Boccacino, the Communications Specialist in Syracuse University's Office of Alumni Engagement. I'm also a 2003 graduate of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications with a degree in broadcast journalism. You can find our podcast on all of your major podcasting platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and Spotify. You can also find our podcasts at alumni.syr.edu/cuseconversations and anchor.fm/cuseconversations. Olivia Bowser: Mental wellness feels really heavy and your loneliness or your anxiety or your stress is this weight that is just weighing on you. And it doesn't have to feel that way. And that's the whole reason I started Liberate, it's because when you have a community supporting you, and when you are empowered to work through your anxiety and work on yourself, it takes a lot of that heaviness away. John Boccacino: Well, folks, today on the podcast, we have such a timely guest for our alumni audience. Her name is Liv Bowser, and she is going to talk about mental wellbeing, the mental state that we're all dealing with right now. There's so much anxiety, there's so much uncertainty that comes with life in the year 2021, with the pandemic, with the political landscape. And who better to talk about this than someone who is a certified meditation and mindfulness teacher. She graduated with a Marketing Management Degree from Whitman in 2016.

  • Liv on Autumn 2018
    LIV ON AUTUMN 2018 SPIRIT OF GIVING LIVES ON A BITTERSWEET VISIT THE POWER OF ONE VOICE OLIVIA’S MESSAGE FOR YOU Hello to all you wonderful ONJ Cancer Centre supporters! It gives me so much joy to be able to welcome 2018, especially after the challenging year I had last year with the recurrence of my breast cancer. I’ve been feeling fantastic and was excited to make an extra visit to Melbourne in November to meet with Natalie Morales from the USA Today show and take her on a tour of our amazing ONJ Cancer Centre! Natalie interviewed me (you can see the videos at onjcancercentre.org) and I also had the opportunity to visit patients and their families. I am always touched by the strength and hope of people affected by cancer. I’m excited to let you know of another way you can support us. Have you seen our range of ONJ Cancer Centre merchandise? From tees in micro mesh fabrics and calming candles to shady caps and handy notebooks, there’s something there for everyone! I will be so grateful for your support of this range which helps fund our vital work in cancer research, education, prevention and cancer support services. Go to onjcancercentre.org/shop to explore or visit the new merchandise cabinet on Level 3! To everyone who made a donation, ran an event, participated in the Wellness Walk and Research Run, joined Olivia’s Circle or took action to help in any way in 2017, I salute you and say, thank you! You are all very special souls and I am forever grateful that so many of you care for patients at the ONJ Cancer Centre.

  • Gamma-Ray and Cosmic-Ray Tests of Lorentz Invariance Violation And
    Gamma-ray and Cosmic-ray Tests of Lorentz Invariance Violation and Quantum Gravity Models and Their Implications Floyd W. Stecker Astrophysics Science Division, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD 20771, USA Abstract. The topic of Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) is a fundamental question in physics that has taken on particular interest in theoretical explorationsof quantumgravity scenarios. I discuss various γ-ray observations that give limits on predicted potential effects of Lorentz invariance violation. Among these are spectral data from ground based observations of the multi-TeV γ-rays from nearby AGN, INTEGRAL detections of polarized soft γ-rays from the vicinity of the Crab pulsar, Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope studies of photon propagation timing from γ-ray bursts, and Auger data on the spectrum of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays. These results can be used to seriously constrain or rule out some models involving Planck scale physics. Possible implications of these limits for quantum gravity and Planck scale physics will be discussed. Keywords: quantum gravity PACS: 04.60Bc INTRODUCTION It has been the major goal of particle physics to discover a theoretical framework for unifying gravity with the other three known forces, viz., electromagnetism, and the weak and strong nuclear forces. Such a theory must be compatible with quantum theory at very small scales corrsponding to very high energies. Even the possibly less ambitious goal of reconciling general relativity with quantum theory has been elusive and may require new concepts to accomplish. There has been a particular interest in the possibility that a quantum gravity theories 3 arXiv:0912.0500v2 [hep-ph] 14 Dec 2009 will lead to Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) at the Planck scale, λPl = Gh¯/c ∼ −35 1.6 × 10 m.
