Workshops
Renown Conservator, Howard Sutcliffe, will describe his work on three Museum garments for the current exhibition Forever Chanel: Coco + Karl, as well as other recent adventures in conservation. The conservator, who cares for and often stabilizes and saves artifacts, textiles and garments from ruin, is a remarkable combination of historian, scientist, aritst and dare we say alchemist.
This special event is made possible by the Jean Druesedow Endowed Fund for Costume and Textile Conservation, sponsored by Christopher P. Sullivan, M.D.
Thanks for stopping by to watch our interview with Kent State alumnus, Max Hoover, owner of Cockeye Creamery in Warren, Ohio. Max focuses on creating unique flavors and recipes that showcase local and often overlooked ingredients.
In the video, Max talks about the science behind ice cream, what making a difference in his family’s community means to him and how Kent State helped him on his journey. The video also offers a look at the limited-time-only, super-premium flavor he created that’s reminiscent of his time in Kent, aptly named “Black Squirrel.” This combination of espresso ice cream, caramel streak and cinnamon streusel has been a huge hit! The week they launched Black Squirrel, they sold more than 18 gallons! Max generously donated 15% of Black Squirrel proceeds from that week to The Campus Kitchen at Kent State University, which provides nutritious food and meals each week for students and Portage County community members struggling with food insecurity. This is a cause close to his heart, so if you weren’t able to visit Cockeye Creamery during this promotion, please consider making your own donation to The Campus Kitchen today.
And there’s still time to try Black Squirrel! Since launch week, another 20 gallons has been sold – it’s so popular they plan to continue to offer the flavor throughout summer 2021! A big thanks to Max for sharing his story, giving back and making fantastic, unique ice cream for all to enjoy!
Enjoy the video below, as you Get the Scoop on Max’s story and on Cockeye Creamery!
Cockeye Creamery is located at 1805 1/2 Parkman Rd NW, Warren, OH 44485.

The Nature and the Neurobiology of Anxiety
Alexander Shackman, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Maryland
Abstract:
Anxiety is widely conceptualized as a sustained state of elevated distress and arousal elicited by uncertain danger. When expressed too intensely or in inappropriate contexts, anxiety can become debilitating and contribute to the development of depression and substance abuse. These illnesses impose a staggering burden on patients, public health, and the global economy. Existing treatments are inconsistently effective or associated with adverse effects, underscoring the urgency of developing a deeper understanding of the mechanisms controlling the expression and experience of anxiety. Here, I will highlight data gleaned from studies of adults, children, and monkeys. Using a combination of approaches—from genetic assays and machine learning to smartphone experience sampling and multimodal neuroimaging—this work provides fresh insights into the nature and the neurobiology of anxiety-related states, traits, and diseases. In particular, our work highlights the importance of a distributed neural system encompassing the central extended amygdala, periaqueductal gray, anterior insula, and midcingulate cortex. These observations provide an integrative framework for conceptualizing anxiety, and for guiding the development of improved intervention strategies.
