Nearly three out of four adults fear going to the dentist, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association.

While dental fear is common, the study—led by researchers at NYU College of Dentistry—also found that most individuals are interested in treatment to overcome it.

A recent study published in the Strategic Management Journal finds that appointing an immigrant CEO can dramatically reduce the incidence of corporate social irresponsibility (CSI) in their home countries. The research, led by Juan Bu, Associate Professor of International Business and Strategy at Indiana University Bloomington, highlights how a leader’s personal ties and social networks abroad can influence where—and how often—multinational enterprises (MNEs) engage in harmful practices such as environmental pollution or human rights violations.

CSI incidents vary widely by region, and past research has focused primarily on macro-level factors, such as national regulations or cultural norms, to explain these differences. This new study takes a micro-level approach, examining how individual leadership characteristics—specifically, whether a CEO is an immigrant—affect corporate behavior across countries.

The seismic activity generated by Taylor Swift’s concerts in Dublin in 2024 provided a unique opportunity for scientific engagement and education, according to the authors of a groundbreaking new study.
