2. In 2022, homicides were down 6.1%, according to FBI data. The nation’s murder rate is now below 2020 levels.

Since 1991, the rate of murder has dropped 36%.

Our department is full of great colleagues, who are dedicated to undergraduate teaching and student-faculty research.

Fairfield, Connecticut is also a great area to work and live. NY Times called it a relaxed beach town with lots to do. https://t.co/PbtkMRKWdD

Wow. The Los Angeles Dodgers have re-signed Outfielder Andrew Toles who has schizophrenia and hasn’t played since 2018, so he would still have access to the team’s health insurance and mental health services.

Toles is not expected to play for the Dodgers this season and will likely never play again. Signing with the team will allow him to continue to receive treatment, including counseling, therapy, and medication.

The team was first alerted something was wrong when Toles did not report to spring training in 2019.

Later, the team learned Toles was found sleeping behind a FedEx building at Key West International Airport. Sadly, Toles is just a shadow of his former self.

He was taken to a mental health facility after the incident and the Dodgers recognized the tragic loss of his playing abilities and wanted to ensure he would always have access to care.

2023 is the fifth straight year the Dodgers have re-signed him.

This extraordinary story wasn’t learned about for years.

It gives you a glimpse that sometimes, good gestures are done for good reasons and not for publicity.

Found this about a year late, but a cool article on sympathetic joy featuring some of the work my students and I have done on this issue over the past few years!

Pure altruism is atypical, but it does exist.

This is a video of "las Patronas" (The Bosses)--a group of volunteer women who provides food to migrants on their way north through Veracruz.

They help people they've never seen and will never see again in their lives

@AmandaHaber17 @BUWheelock @CPAHD_BU Congratulations!

Motivated empathy in the Onion. Actually a fairly good take on empathy avoidance as situation selection, one of our lab's main research programs. Right down to avoidance of positive empathy too.
