  Seth Sandronsky Civil & Government

  A revised 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement, dubbed the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, pleases the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA). "The successful conclusion of the USMCA is a significant step toward leveling the playing field with our trading partners by delivering strong IP (intellectual property) protections for American manufacturers and innovators," said PhRMA President and CEO Stephen J. Ubl. Public Citizen, based in Washington, D.C., takes a less cheery view of the renegotiated IP for biologics under the USMCA.

• 4 reasons why most churches are doing social media wrong

  Mark MacDonald Religious Community

  I’m not sure why the church struggles with social media so much. It seems like our leaders, the congregation, and even communication teams have problems when it comes to being social on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The church, of all places, should understand what it means to be social since the definition of "church" is a collective group of believers! Fellowship and community should come naturally, but we all know it doesn’t.

• Heating industry turns up the temperature on PLC cybersecurity

  Joseph Zulick Science & Technology

  How important is cybersecurity for programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in today's industrial settings? Merely a matter of national security. Consider this: in 2016, the NATO nations officially recognized cyberspace as a domain of warfare. In geopolitical terms, a cyberattack is now as actionable as a naval attack. Within industrial and commercial settings, cyber malice is a frequently seen as a leading threat, and likely a permanent one. As first brought to global attention by the Stuxnet attack in 2010, PLCs are a tempting target for malice.

• Social communication from a speech-language perspective

  Sheilamary Koch Education

  The ability to adapt language to a specific situation or audience is an important social communication skill. This fact was driven home when interviewing Judith O. Roman, clinical faculty member at Northwestern University’s Center for Audiology, Speech, Language, and Learning about pragmatics, otherwise known as social communication.

  Dorothy L. Tengler Medical & Allied Healthcare

  Physicians are at high risk for burnout, which is marked by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and a lack of sense of personal accomplishment.

For physicians, the emotional exhaustion of burnout can have professional and personal consequences. For patients, being examined and treated by a physician dealing with burnout, manifesting in lack empathy or agitation, may result in dissatisfaction or unwillingness to comply with treatment recommendations.

  Michelle R. Matisons Waste Management & Environmental

  Last Wednesday is a day that will be marked in history books. Like Hurricanes Katrina, Harvey, Maria and Florence before it, another historic social and environmental disaster is upon us: Hurricane Michael. It’s the largest U.S. hurricane since 1969, touching down on the Florida panhandle and the southeastern U.S. on Oct. 10. Florida’s panhandle, including Mexico Beach and Panama City, was hit so hard by Hurricane Michael’s almost category 5 winds, with storm surges reaching 14 feet, that the media routinely compares the region to a “war zone.”
