While Fort Worth police say crime is down in West 7th, analysis by criminal justice experts and the Star-Telegram鈥檚 reporting on the issue 鈥� as well as the presentation鈥檚 own data for the most violent crime of all 鈥� suggest that the area is not as relatively safe as communicated. Furthermore, the very venue in which the data was presented raises questions about the police department鈥檚 messaging, according to TCU associate dean of graduate studies and criminal justice professor Johnny Nhan, who also serves as a reserve Fort Worth police officer and patrols about once a week. 鈥淭here is an argument to be made that the police are sending contradictory messages: 1.) Crime is high there and justifies the extra resources and 2.) Crime is low there, so the police are doing a good job,鈥� Nhan wrote in an email exchange. Patrolling West 7th on busy nights is not a desirable assignment, Nhan said, and most officers he speaks with try to avoid it.

DHM (dihydromyricetin), a flavonoid found in several plants native to Asia, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat fever, colds, parasitic infections, liver diseases and hangovers. Despite limited studies on its clinical benefits, DHM is being included in Western supplements. According to Dr. Grant Fowler, chair of family medicine at the Burnett School of Medicine, the benefits of DHM are still unclear. Fowler said that critics of flavonoid research, such as studies claiming the health benefits of chocolate and red wine, say that socioeconomic factors often influence the perceived benefits. However, DHM doesn鈥檛 appear unsafe, even though its effectiveness is unproven. A more significant concern, Fowler said, is why someone would want to regularly drink alcohol to the point of experiencing a hangover. 鈥淚t affects your sleep, makes you feel awful and makes you fatigued after a bender,鈥� Fowler said.

Conservative lawmakers across the U.S. are pushing to introduce more Christianity to public school classrooms, testing the separation of church and state by inserting Bible references into reading lessons and requiring teachers to post the Ten Commandments. In Texas, officials approved a curriculum intertwining language arts with biblical lessons. And in Oklahoma, the state superintendent of education has called for lessons to incorporate the Bible from grades 5 through 12, a requirement schools have declined to follow. 鈥淭he authors appear to go out of their way to work detailed Bible lessons into the curriculum even when they are both unnecessary and unwarranted,鈥� religious studies scholar and adjunct professor David Brockman wrote in a report on the material. 鈥淭hough religious freedom is vital to American democracy, the curriculum distorts its role in the nation鈥檚 founding while underplaying the importance of other fundamental liberties cherished by Americans.鈥�

Utilizing Dungeons & Dragons, as well as other tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), is becoming a popular trend for colleges and universities to promote student mental health. In August 2024, eight schools launched the National Learning Network for Supportive Gaming Communities. The goal of this network is for each school to launch Supportive Gaming Communities, which are small groups that promote the positive benefits of TTRPGs to students. Joe LeConte 鈥�19 M.Ed. is the lead trainer of the national learning network. He鈥檚 a substance use and recovery counselor/peer support coordinator at TCU and is regarded as a leading expert in the use of TTRPGs in higher education. When asked why TTRPGs are so appealing to students, LeConte responded, 鈥淭here鈥檚 a lot of popular media and a bunch of television shows that have really popularized role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons鈥︹��

Fort Worth Report 
Residents from across Tarrant County gathered at TCU to discuss how they can make their voices heard on the most critical issues in their communities 鈥� and encourage active listening without an agenda from their elected leaders. It鈥檚 an exercise inspired by the research of Ashley English, associate professor of strategic communication, Jacqueline Lambiase, professor emeritus of strategic communication, and Julie O鈥橬eil, professor and associate dean for graduate studies and administration, strategic communication. The research explored municipal listening structures after former Fort Worth police officer Aaron Dean shot and killed Atatiana Jefferson in her home in October 2019, prompting an outcry from Black community leaders. TCU researcher Lambiase said this event is the start, not the end, of improving listening and engagement across the county. She encouraged participants to take the format into their own work or neighborhood association meetings. 鈥淭he listening loop gets closed with action,鈥� she said.

In 2025, it鈥檚 predicted that one in 10 management roles will be filled by Gen Z. But that鈥檚 a complicated statistic, when management jobs are going the way of the milkman and the fax machine. Forbes highlights the stark reality of white-collar job cuts, with middle-management positions being systematically eliminated at organizations like Google, Meta, UPS and others. CNBC reports that Amazon is shifting to an individual-contributor model 鈥� a type of unbossing that could foster the elimination of as many as 14,000 management roles. Other companies are making similar moves on a smaller scale, cutting into the middle to improve the bottom line. What鈥檚 really at work here? Is AI making middle management positions redundant? 鈥淒igital transformation plays a significant role,鈥� according to Joe Roh, a professor of supply chain management at the TCU Neeley School of Business who commented on the unbossing trend on CNBC. 鈥淎utomation and advanced technologies reduce the need for middle managers to oversee tasks that can now be monitored by software.鈥�

Not to start the new year off on a downer, but if you heat your home with natural gas, your next bill might be higher than you were expecting. Natural gas futures had their biggest single-day jump in three years this week. Prices aren鈥檛 expected to drop anytime soon with days of bone-chilling weather on tap for the Northeast and Midwest. 鈥淣atural gas, really and truly, is driven by weather more than anything else,鈥� said Tom Seng, assistant professor of professional practice at TCU Neeley. 鈥淚f this becomes a deep-seated, widespread, long-duration cold front, we鈥檙e going to burn a lot of natural gas, which means we鈥檙e going to pull a lot of natural gas out of storage.鈥�

Jacob Fearnley 鈥�24, said keeping his composure against the 鈥渞owdy鈥� Australian Open crowd was key to landing the biggest win of his career as the Scot defeated home favorite Nick Kyrgios to reach the second round. Fearnley, who a year ago was ranked 646th in the world but has enjoyed a stunning rise since turning professional, denied Kyrgios a send-off win as he booked a second-round match against Frenchman Arthur Cazaux. 鈥淚 think a lot of it was mental, especially in that third set,鈥� Fearnley said. 鈥淵ou could kind of see that the tide was turning a little bit. I had to really fight to stay composed and not let my emotions get the better of me, not let the crowd get to my head. It was amazing. Honestly, it was one of the best experiences of my life. Obviously, I was extremely nervous. It wasn鈥檛 really until I walked out there that I actually was kind of calm.鈥�

It is undoubtedly a little too early for Jacob Fearnley 鈥�24 to be hailed the new Andy Murray, especially given when he opened his mouth courtside after his shock Australian Open victory, he confirmed immediately that he had lost his Scottish accent. Having spent five years at TCU, Fearnley was asked where it had gone as he joked: 鈥淚t鈥檚 nowhere to be seen. It鈥檚 coming back the longer I鈥檓 outside the States.鈥�
