• Prevention and treatment of COVID-19 with hydroxychloroquine (PATCH) trial

  Dorothy L. Tengler Medical & Allied Healthcare

  Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), or Plaquenil, is used to prevent and treat malaria in areas where malaria remains sensitive to chloroquine and is also used to treat autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and porphyria cutanea tarda. Importantly, as recently reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, there is no high-quality evidence demonstrating efficacy of HCQ or its chemical cousin, chloroquine, to treat COVID-19. Consequently, a new trial (NCT04329923), led by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, will test whether HCQ can treat or prevent COVID-19.

  Timothy R. Clark Business Management, Services & Risk Management

  Google and Microsoft know something a lot of other companies simply refuse to acknowledge — that organizations lacking psychological safety are galloping their way to extinction. Psychological safety is a social condition in which you feel included, safe to learn, safe to contribute, and safe to challenge the status quo — all without fear of being embarrassed, marginalized, or punished in some way. Basically, it means it’s not expensive to be yourself.

  Alexander Morris-Wood Education

  When it comes to celebrations, May 1 beats Cinco de Mayo for many high school seniors. May 1 is when many seniors commit to their preferred college. In 2020, however, that celebration stands in COVID-19’s long shadow. A recent survey of fall 2020 prospective parents and students by Maguire Associates, a Massachusetts-based consulting firm that serves educational institutions, found that COVID-19 scuttled their ability to visit campuses before depositing or orientation.

  Jeb Ory Association Management

  As many people in Washington know, the COVID-19 crisis launched an advocacy boom. What they may not realize is that it is far from over. As Congress considered a $2 trillion stimulus bill — the largest in U.S. history — hundreds of organizations scrambled to ensure that lawmakers understood and addressed their needs, whether that meant safety equipment, financial support, tax relief or other necessities.
