| Recessions Are Perfectly Natural, Literally - The Business Insider Posted: 31 Jan 2010 08:25 AM PST
Along these lines, Marginal Revolution wonders whether economic concepts could even be applied to biology: Marginal Revolution: Can there be a Keynesian business cycle in the pond? i.e. Could animal spirits drive a natural business cycle? It's harder for me to see exactly how this would work. We would need "money" or something similar to generate a rush to liquidity and a decline in investment. We could perhaps get a coordination type business cycle (ala Roger Farmer) with herd behavior. Interestingly, the trend in biology--as I read it at least--has been to think of herd behavior as optimal for the herd but this is not necessarily the case. We know that slime molds self-organize and aggregate during times of stress could this process be set off with no or little exogenous shock? Could a natural system provide a model for business cycle behavior? It would be odd if only people had animal spirits. Biology and economics have much to offer one another.

| KWU Students Collecting Funds to Help Haiti - KSALlink.com Posted: 31 Jan 2010 07:42 AM PST Several student groups at Kansas Wesleyan University are collecting funds to help earthquake victims in Haiti. "Every Penny Counts" is the fund-raising effort planned by the KWU International Student Club. Members of the club plan to have a table set up in the KWU Student Activities Center from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday. According to member Anderson Dugazon, a student from Haiti, the International Student Club is raising money to send to a Haitian church with which Dugazon is familiar. The club will accept both cash and checks. Checks should be made out to KWU ISC and have "Haiti relief" written in the memo area. Campus ministries also will be collecting fund for the Haitian relief effort. Members plan to collect funds at the KWU vs. Friends University basketball games Thursday evening. All funds raised will be sent to Haiti through the United Methodist Committee on Relief. Checks should be made out to University United Methodist Church with "Haiti relief" in the memo portion of the checks. Persons not planning to attend the basketball games can send checks directly to University United Methodist Church, 1509 South Santa Fe, in Salina. Additionally, KWU's Student Nurse Organization and Biology Club are raising funds for the American Red Cross' Haitian Relief Fund. Checks should be made out to the American Red Cross and should have "Haiti relief" in the memo portion. Checks can be dropped off in the offices of Terri Johnson, Associate Professor of Nursing, (313 Peters Science Hall); Dr. Art Neuburger, Chair in the Department of Biology, (340 Peters Science Hall); or the Office of Student Life (185 Pioneer Hall).

Having a biology background, we've always viewed the laws of economics as natural forces, similar to the laws of physics.
