Ghosts of Twitter Past Haunt Job SeekersJun 7, 201721mGuest: Steve McDonald, PhD, Associate Professor, Director of the Graduate Program of Sociology at North Carolina State University When you post something to Facebook or Instagram, does it cross your mind how a future hiring manager might look it?

Bridges on the Verge of CollapseJun 7, 201713mGuest: Madeleine Flint, PhD, Assistant Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Virginia Tech  Summer tourists hoping to drive scenic Highway 1 on the California coast will have to take a detour around the popular Big Sur cliffs. It’s there that, during the wettest rainy season on record, mudslides blocked the road and damaged the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge, which remains closed until the end of September.  The road itself could take a year to fix. Engineering experts say bridges across the country are not being designed to meet the reality of today’s weather, wear and tear.
