Rob breaks down a detailed CSU San Marcos study which characterized upper extremity muscle activation generated by surfers while paddling. The study describes which muscle groups are firing, and their duration, magnitude and timing of activation throughout the stroke at different speeds. The team at CSUSM also measured oxygen consumption, paddling cadence, and surfboard motion. The results of the study provide further evidence towards what efficient and effective paddling is, which muscles to train for different paddling speeds, the intensities at which to train for each scenario, and provides a stepping stone for similar research in the future. Come nerd out with Rob and learn if you are activating the correct muscles at the correct time during your paddling!

We are BACK for Season 2 of Librarians Anonymous! After summer hiatus, we are ready to return with stories and discussions from the behind the scenes world of librarianship starting with the tough topic of "vocational awe." Here to talk to us this week is "BiblioBurro," a librarian and instructor who is deeply invested in solving the problem of vocational awe with individual solutions like "slow librarianship," and trauma informed services, and systemic advocacy like collective action and accountability. Tune in for a fantastic conversation! The featured library that Jeeves & Wooster want to draw your attention to this month is the CSUSM's "Brew-chive" in San Diego: https://archives.csusm.edu/brewchive/ This month's quote: "Vocational awe is f*cking toxic and we as librarians need to stop spreading this rhetoric that libraries are this beacon of democracy and critical thinking. Libraries are just buildings. It is the people who do the work. And we need to treat these people well. You can't eat on passion. You can't pay rent on passion. It is not a sustainable source of income, and we need to stop treating vocational awe as the only way to be a librarian." -Fobazi Ettarh

In this week's episode the team talks about tackling school from home, pop culture tv shows, and awkward Zoom moments.

It all began over 20 years ago when Dos Desperados founder, Steve Munson (@dosdesperadosbrew) got the brewing bug. His first brew was a Mexican style ale and was such a hit at his backyard cookouts that he could no longer keep up the demand brewing in his family home. That is when Steve decided it was time to turn his favorite hobby into a business. In 2014 Dos Desperados was born. Dos Desperados or "the Rebel in all of us"  perfectly represents Steve's adventurous brews– Habeerneros IPA, double Dealer Brown Ale and Homicidal Manic Stout– just to name a few.Steve passed on his head honcho hat to Hayden Weir, a CSUSM grad, in 2018. Hayden is now Dos Desperados Head Brewer and is whipping up delicious beers like his famous New England-style IPA named Hazy Daisy (after his golden retriever pup, Daisy). And it's a family affair! On any day of the week you will find one of the Munson family members serving up these delicious suds. So saddle up and come try a beer (or two) at San Marcos' very own drinking hole.  Discussion Topics:[2:30] How Dos Desperados adapted during COVID[5:20] How neighboring responses affected opening and business survival[7:30] On training staff response regarding compliance[9:15] Life before Dos Desperados: what prompted the start of a brewery?
