Covid-19 pandemic has catapulted our society into the next paradigm. Who could have predicted the pace at which we’d adapt to the threat of a global pandemic? Within a month of the first Covid case in the UK, a nationwide lockdown was instated and for the most part, respected by the British people for the sake of protecting their fellow citizen. We saw hospitals created from conference centres and a vaccine researched and developed in record-breaking time. Out of necessity, the doctor has evolved to meet this brave new world. Dr Charlie Bell, Medical Education Theme Group Leader for the Changing Face of Medicine project explains, “In many ways, medicine had bought into its own lie, that nothing can ever change. But Covid has helped us to understand that given the right circumstances, we’re all capable of it. Let’s examine what we’ve learned and how can we be more proactive in finding solutions to problems before they become desperate.” Placing ourselves into the future is not easy...

For months, Selena B. Hunter had been agonizing over what to call her new record company. The label would be the embodiment of “Black Girl Magic.” It would be groundbreaking. It would be bold. And it would be built on principles rarely, if ever, seen in an industry often riddled with misogyny and exploitation. Artists would be endowed with a real voice. They’d be empowered to fully and organically embrace their own, unique brand of creativity. The name would have to somehow convey all of that. She pored over marketing materials for a diverse mix of businesses, but her answer would finally come within the pages of a book by marketing guru Seth Godin. It inspired her to do more research online and she was instantly drawn to the story of an effervescent Egyptian goddess . “She’s half-woman, a nod to femininity, and also half cow, which speaks to being sacred and valuable,” remembers Selena. “She was the goddess of the stars, the goddess of love, the goddess of women, and the goddess of m...

Wars, natural disasters, shootings, pandemics, political unrest and life. For a group of art therapy graduate students, the unfolding disaster of 9/11/01 led to the need for connection and grounding. As schools nationally were closed, these students gathered at the Chicago home of their professor, art therapist, Dr. Barbara Fish. They brought art materials and food to share, sat at the dining room table, lit a candle and made art as a community. The experience provided so much relief that they decided to return the next week – and so, the Art for Peace group began.

A unique handheld sprayer has been launched which turns mildly salty tap water into a powerful disinfectant that kills 99.9% of germs, bacteria and viruses, including Covid-19 . The easy-HC10 uses an electrochemical reaction to instantly convert tap water containing just 0.25% salt into hypochlorous acid, a powerful disinfectant which the human body itself produces to fight infection.

Smartphones can improve academic performance, when used appropriately, according to new research by Aalto University School of Business . The study , conducted by Ms. Yanqing Lin, Mr Wenjie Fan, and Professors Yong Liu, Virpi Kristiina Tuunainen, and Shengli Deng, looked into smartphone usage and how it impacts educational achievement in university students. Their results found a positive, direct impact of using mobile learning and news applications on academic attainment, which contrasts popular belief. This is because the use of mobile learning applications stifles the feeling of nomophobia, the fear of being unavailable to your mobile phone. “Mobile learning acts as part of studying that is practical and compulsory, therefore it is not considered ‘fun’ for most people, which contrasts other apps such as social media. For this reason, users are not going to be distracted from studying, or end up procrastinating,” says Ms. Lin. The research revealed that even though the univer...
