College ROI: Higher Education Leads to Significant Earnings Boost, According to a New Study

Go to a traditional psychiatrist complaining of anxiety, depression, or general mental health struggles, and you might expect to be asked about your childhood or prescribed drugs, or walked through behavioral and cognitive changes. See Harvard nutritional psychiatrist Uma Naidoo, and she might do all of those things. But she also might tell you to change what you eat.

"I'm not opposed to medications. I just think that nutrition is like having an additional piece of armor that you can fend off depression, anxiety, and other symptoms," she told Today. "We all have to eat. Why not eat in a way that's going to help our brain?"

Ghana Entrepreneur Aims to Educate 3 Million African Leaders - Time

As Fred Swaniker took to the stage to accept a TIME100 Impact Award Friday night in Kigali, Rwanda, the Ghanaian educator and entrepreneur felt more comfortable speaking about the accomplishments of others—notably, the next generation of African leaders whom he has tirelessly helped nurture.

The founder of the African Leadership Group, Swaniker oversees two school campuses in Mauritius and Rwanda that offer degrees in software engineering and entrepreneurial leadership to nearly 2,000 students each year. Currently, he’s focused on achieving the ambitious goal of cultivating at least 3 million ethical, entrepreneurial, and empowered African leaders by 2035.

“Today, many of our young leaders are tackling some of Africa’s grand challenges, like transforming primary healthcare in remote areas,” he said in his speech at the inaugural TIME Africa Summit and Gala.

Mexico’s foreign policy is unambitious and erratic - The Economist

Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Mexico’s president, is no globetrotter. His trip to San Francisco on November 15th to attend the summit of Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation, an economic club of 21 countries, was only his seventh foreign jaunt in five years in office. Before going, he said: “I won’t go the whole time. It’s going to be, like, you arrive a day before, sleep, participate, eat—and come home.” Since becoming president, he has not visited a single country outside the Americas.

Foreign policy has never been easy for Mexico, squished as it is between the dissimilar regions of North America and Latin America, each of which tends to view Mexico as part of the other. Close ties with the United States limit its relationship with China. A lack of internal bodies to discuss foreign policy—there is only one think-tank focused on it in Mexico—means individual whim looms large. Even so, past administrations managed to carve out international roles for themselves, on disarmament, free trade and climate policy. “Until López Obrador [Mexico] had a very strong voice in multilateral organisations,” says Shannon O’Neil of the Council on Foreign Relations, a think-tank in New York.

Mr López Obrador is not interested in this kind of engagement. He does not attend G20 meetings or the UN’s General Assembly. He has stymied Mexican diplomats by cutting costs, reducing their travel budget by 42% between 2018 and 2022. This has hurt Mexico’s standing, says Arturo Sarukhán, a former Mexican ambassador to the United States. “A country that isn’t a military or geopolitical superpower has two ways to navigate the international system: sit at the table or be on the menu: we are the latter,” he says.
