UCR Magazine, Spring 2013

UCR Magazine¹s Spring 2013 issue is dedicated to happiness. Here, we present 10

ways people can find — and keep — joy in their lives.  At UCR,

researchers are finding out that happiness is a valuable resource; happy

people often enjoy good health, good social relationships, and good

salaries. We're also learning that happiness can be controlled, whether

you believe in destiny, divine intervention or just pure luck. Also in this issue, you'll

 get a first look at the new School of Public Policy, which will

develop research to serve the Inland community and the world. We talk to

Yadong Yin, a scientist who has, in his own small way (and we

mean nanoparticle small), made the world more colorful. And you'll get to

read an excerpt of novelist and Professor of Creative Writing Susan

Straight's eighth book, "Between Heaven and Here."
