• The new study on COVID-19 transmission that can help convince every patient…

  Lisa Mulcahy Medical & Allied Healthcare

  As a healthcare professional, you know the critical importance of face masks for stopping the spread of COVID-19. You no doubt also know that some of your patient population is not in compliance with doing so, which is a very worrisome issue. However, a brand-new study from researchers Renyi Zhang, Yixin Li, Annie L. Zhang, Yuan Wang, and Mario J. Molina, "Identifying airborne transmission as the dominant route for the spread of COVID-19," can offer you the informational support your physicians and staff need to communicate the importance of mask-wearing to these patients.

• As close as your own breath: A simple — and free — way to improve your…

  Victoria Fann Medical & Allied Healthcare

  We breathe approximately 25,000 times a day, and 30-50% of us are doing it improperly. Almost as many of us have respiratory issues and illnesses that affect our sleep, brain function and overall health. How could this be? Breathing happens in the body automatically without us having to think about it. That’s exactly the problem. Most of us are not conscious about this essential bodily function.

• Tracking how we view interior design

  Michael J. Berens Interior Design, Furnishings & Fixtures

  Walk into a room and the mind immediately begins to note its characteristics. As the eyes scan the objects before them, they register the quality of light, color, texture, contrast, arrangement, what is familiar and what is unfamiliar. In a matter of seconds, the brain processes all that information and generates an emotional reaction to the space. What happens in those few seconds, where do the eyes go, and how might our understanding of that process help improve the way spaces are designed in the future?

• Busting the myth of the iron grip for shooting

  Mike Ox Law Enforcement, Defense & Security

  For some reason, I've been getting questions and finding myself in conversations about grip quite a bit lately. There’s a lot of misinformation on grip…especially on how firmly you should grip; how to improve grip; and what to do about reduced grip from arthritis, carpal tunnel, and other pain issues. Take the 100% grip or "iron grip" as an example. Grab anything with 100% grip and your hand is going to shake. Drop off to the max intensity that you can grip without shaking and your ability to isolate trigger finger movement is going to be compromised.

  Lisa Mulcahy Marketing

  As a digital media marketer helping your brand emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, you know that taking stock of where your ad planning stands is critical. A new report finds that 73% of all businesses surveyed are working on strategic planning. One powerfully effective way to evaluate your brand's strategy is with split testing. This is an easy way to determine how well your marketing assets will truly perform.

• Qualified immunity and why changing US policing will be very difficult

  Patrick Gleeson Law Enforcement, Defense & Security

  Less than a month after four Minneapolis policemen were charged with the killing of George Floyd — one of them on a second-degree murder count — public opinion in the country on race and criminal justice has shifted dramatically. By a remarkable 28-point margin, Americans now support Black Lives Matter. Additionally, by a three-to-one majority, citizens believe that U.S. police departments need major reform. Unfortunately, achieving this will be much harder than most Americans understand.

• Balancing productivity and breaks: The importance of employee rest

  Indiana Lee Business Management, Services & Risk Management

  As an employer, productivity is one of the keys to the definition of a quality employee. You are actively seeking out someone who can get the job done in a reasonable amount of time, who is organized, and who is capable of prioritizing work tasks throughout the day. Someone who won’t stop until not only is everything finished, but it is perfect. Right? Well … maybe take back that last sentence. It may come as a pretty big shock to many employers, but studies show the last bit isn’t really what you want in a highly productive employee.

• Social media madness: Why distraction and discourtesy alienate us all

  Lisa Cole Mental Healthcare

  Is anyone else feeling as disconnected as I am in this world of hyper-connection? Nobody seems to be listening anymore — even my dear friends stop in mid-sentence when their phone pings. While responding back to whoever just usurped our conversation, they say they can still listen. It doesn't feel like that to me, though. They don't look at me and we never get back to where we left off before the interruption. Something clearly has shifted.

• Care specialties most affected by COVID-19 revealed

  Scott E. Rupp Medical & Allied Healthcare

  As COVID-19 continues to ravage the U.S. healthcare system, reaching its viral hands into nearly every specialty, some are reeling more than others, a new study points out. The study, published in mid-June by FAIR Health, estimated the drop in healthcare utilization for nonhospital providers. As expected, elective procedures have cratered. To that end, oral surgery experienced the most significant reduction in usage in March 2020, declining 80% compared to a similar period in 2019. Gastroenterology was the second largest decline, with a 73% drop in March and a 77% decline in April.

• Pandemic leads to calls for increased domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing

  Bambi Majumdar Pharmaceutical

  The emergence of the COVID-19 crisis has revealed the glaring truth and danger of how dependent the U.S. is on pharmaceutical imports. Critical shortages of vital pharma and medical resources have hindered the federal government's pandemic response efforts. Experts now say it's time to reduce the reliance on other countries that America has built up over decades in this sector.
