“A
capacity, and taste, for reading, gives access to whatever has already been
discovered by others. It is the key, or one of the keys, to the already solved
problems. And not only so. It gives a relish, and facility, for successfully
pursuing the [yet] unsolved ones.”
― Abraham Lincoln

It’s Finals Week and our OSU students are all studying and working towards successfully mastering their finals. Along with studying there is generally increased anxiety and a desire to just be done for the term. Each and every OSULP employee helps our students and researchers to the best of their ability to be successful and sometimes we find ourselves handling stressful situations. Anne-Marie and I want to send out a big thank you for the many, many times throughout the day when you encounter those stressful situations with grace, humor and courage. I’m sharing a most beautiful TED Talk with you to brighten your day! https://www.ted.com/talks/louie_schwartzberg_the_hidden_beauty_of_pollination
