IN KEEPING OUR FINGER ON THE PULSE of the nursing community, we’re attuned to the issues that might cause a reaction. Take, for instance, the new color-coding mandates at some hospitals. The majority of you told us you’d prefer to express some individuality at work—if not with prints, then with solids of your own choosing. Plus, the idea of a closet full of scrubs you can no longer wear is none too appealing (ouch, that hurts the pocketbook!). We respect the pride you feel in looking good at work, showing off your own personal style. Then there’s the fact that prints and bright colors definitely bring cheer to patients (and isn’t that part of the job?). For those of you who are less than pleased with the new regulations some hospitals are instituting, here’s something you can cheer about: The latest solid-color scrubs the leading brands are producing are trés chic and anything but uniform. Check out some of the great-looking options you have on page 19 in “Color Me Stylish.” Another issue that many nurses find distressing is how hard it is to lose weight. To that end, we asked Liz Neporent, an award-winning journalist and author of 15 best-selling health books, to look into the stunning fact that more than half of all nurses are obese or overweight. Something in the air? Maybe. In “10 Reasons You Can’t Lose Weight (and what you can do about it)” on page 26, Neporent delves into the latest research and finds that winning at losing THE GREATEST may not be in the cards for some nurses—there really are factors beyond your control. That ought to alleviate some of the pressure, to say nothing of the guilt.

Recently-Published Recommended Books by and/or about the AAPI Community Arranged by Age Published from 2015 to early 2021 May 2021 Background A month ago, we formed a subcommittee to produce a short list of recommended books, from our Best Books List archives, centered on AAPI characters, authors, and illustrators. This was in direct response to spikes in unprovoked anti-Asian violence in the past year. That process sparked many debates over which ones to include. After that experience, the subcommittee returned to our archives for a closer inspection. We wanted to create a larger resource for readers from infancy to age 18.We also wanted to be able to deliver it within a reasonable timeframe, so here is how we created the list you see below. Methodology 1. First, we combed our recent Best Books list (BBL) archives for books that we have recommended, from our most recently published list (2020) back to the 2016 edition (meaning, books published from 2015 to 2019).

Overview To speed the growth of AI methods and secure economic and national security benefits, I forward an idea that you might be able to use. I suggest that your initiative build a national capacity for rapid learning economics. The project will design, pay for, and develop new methods to analyze expanded R&D data systems. It will be designed to discover the behavioral variables and mechanisms that affect economic performance and that are missing from current data systems. Competitive, multi-year, renewable grants will create Centers for Rapid Learning Economics to engage stakeholders and address different dimensions of the problem. Although the Centers will conduct their own research, their first goal will be to design, purchase (or create) the new R&D data systems that include a wide range of potential causal variables nominated by behavioral science advisers and stakeholders. These data systems will be curated, placed in the public domain, and will be available online (with analysis tools and supercomputer capacity) for software development and fast discovery research 1 by all stakeholders.

FEATURED SESSION v H.01 Beyond Digital Storytelling: Multisensory, Multicultural, Multimedia 310 ABC The power of literacy lies in the ability to gain entrance into the transfer of ideas. Whether it was through a letter or a novel, reading and writing on paper was the chosen medium for school because it was the resource most readily available. Today, everybody with access to the devices we carry in our pockets can share stories and convey information through a wide variety of formats. Not only do these new tools provide more access points for students to demonstrate their knowledge, video is the relevant means of communication today. In this session, participants will engage with a variety of compositional approaches traditionally taught using paper and pencil to help their students move beyond digital storytelling to become more metacognitive communicators.
