Nearby: Marion, OHMARION, OH (MARION COUNTY NOW)—Dr. Tracy Tylka will present her latest research findings in a talk titled Looking Back at Your Former Appearance, as part of the Buckeye Talks on Tap community lecture series, Tuesday, November 17, 5:30 p.m. at Bucci’s Italian Scratch Kitchen. Ohio State Marion Professor of Psychology, Dr. Tracy Tylka, one of the world’s foremost authorities on body image, will share information on her recent study which found that people often judge themselves by comparing their current appearance to earlier versions of themselves, a behavior researchers call self-oriented comparison. The study showed that looking back at a time when you felt more attractive is linked to body shame, rumination, and disordered eating, while comparing yourself to a less favorable past appearance is related to higher body appreciation and pride. These research findings could help improve body image treatment and support people navigating aging and other appearance-related changes.

Nearby: Columbus, OHA proposed mining road through the Brooks Range promises access to critical minerals. Indigenous communities say protecting the rivers, wildlife and food systems that have sustained them for generations is a more lasting investment. First appeared in Atmos Oct. 19, 2026. From the windows of our bush plane, there is not a straight line in sight. Rivers, never dammed or straightened, twine through remote mountain passes. There are moose down there. Wolverines. Wolves. And the birthplaces of salmon, their eggs waiting to hatch in spring. This is America’s Arctic in Alaska, still wild and largely intact. But a road changes everything. The Ambler Road Project, proposed by an Alaskan state development agency and backed by the Trump administration, would create a 211-mile-long industrial haul road across the headwaters of 11 major rivers, with some 48 bridges and 3,000 culverts.
