A study led by Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers suggests that tiny facial movements – too slight for the human eye to notice – could help scientists better understand social communication in people with autism.

A study led by UC Riverside School of Business professor Boris Maciejovsky  published in the Journal of Business Ethics found that revealing employee pay unexpectedly influences workplace dynamics in ways never demonstrated before. 

 

 

When employees learn how their pay stacks up against their peers, their feelings of entitlement—and the salary they believe they deserve—can rise or fall depending on how close they are to the top of performance ranking lists, the study found.

 

A research group led by investigators at Dartmouth and Massachusetts General Hospital, and including seven other institutions across the U.S., have received a five-year, $13 million funding award from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). Their project will test the effectiveness of video as a communication tool during patient visits for people living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and their caregivers.

Joonmo Kang, a researcher at the University of Kansas, spent a year living in a jjokbang-chon, an extremely impoverished neighborhood in Seoul, South Korea. While there, he calculated residents' carbon footprints, finding they contribute much less to climate change than their fellow citizens, and detailed how they suffer the effects of extreme heat and other climate issues. He advocates for social work to take a role in addressing such climate injustice in a way that does not remove already limited resources from such populations.
