The BOLD thrive guide is a cumulative project that the BOLD scholars have been working on for the past year. We imagined this guide to serve as a starting point for first years to begin their navigation through Middlebury and feel better equipped for the journey ahead. In addition to promoting and distributing this guide, we also want to take this time for people to enjoy affirmations, self-love, and delicious food (sushi and middcakes)!

Stevie Wonder once sang, “Love’s in need of love today.” His words couldn’t be more true as we face a global community struggling with war, poverty, illness, climate instability, and the rise of political authorities and governments who do not seem to be grounded in compassion or kindness.

All animals have visual systems that allow them to process relevant visual stimuli to inform their behaviors. In mammalians, these systems are very complex and often show the presence of retinotopy, a mechanism by which specific regions of the retina (the light-sensitive part of the eye) are mapped onto corresponding locations in the brain, helping preserve spatial information about the visual stimulus. But what about fruit flies? How do they process visual stimuli?
