One of the most shockingly underrated masterpieces of the Renaissance is Anthonis Mor’s portrait of Sir Thomas Gresham (c. 1560), now in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. When people see it today, especially in high-resolution pics, they often mistake it for a 19th-century photograph or even a hyper-realistic AI generation. The skin texture, the eyes, the subtle sheen on the black fabric, make it feel almost disturbingly modern. Yet this painting, created over 460 years ago, barely registers in the mainstream conversation about great art. It deserves far more recognition.

Even though so many of us thought this, we are getting some solid evidence...
Bingeing TikTok reels may be hazardous to your well-being. 71 studies, >98k people: The more short-form videos teens and adults watched, the more they struggled with attention, self-control, and stress and anxiety. Read a book. Watch a movie. Long live longform.

Drury University architecture students designed a "giving hub" for Grant Beach, which will function as a bus stop and provide access to a community fridge. It is expected to open permanently on the Drew Lewis Foundation's headquarters soon. Read it: sgfcitizen.org/government/so…

We put these Drury roommates to the test to see how well they know their roommates. Well... sometimes, being a good roommate means learning from your mistakes😉🐾

Millions voted for a man who has used racist epithets against black and brown people, said hateful things about the LGBTQ+ community, shown that he's a misogynist, carries 34 felony convictions. The list goes on... Over 72 million people voted positively for him.

One of my favourite people of all time.
Carl Sagan on books "What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years."

Please stop thinking that "learning styles" exist!
"A 2020 review of teacher surveys revealed that 9 out of 10 educators believe students learn better in their preferred learning style. There has been no decrease in this belief since the approach was debunked as early as 2004." theconversation.com/the-same…

It was great to help the area around the Springfield Art Museum. We picked up a large amount of trash over a couple of hours. These dirty panther paws helped the area look wonderful!
Drury Panthers are out in the community making a difference🐾 At our annual Service Plunge, new students and faculty were out getting their paws dirty and participating in numerous volunteer service projects in the Springfield community.

Last night, we capped off Orientation Weekend and kicked off the new academic year with our beloved tradition: Panther Palooza! Students got fresh Drury swag, enjoyed delicious food, and discovered all that Drury has to offer as they prepared for the fall semester.
