Here ’s What We Listen For When Deciding Whether A Speaker Is Lying Or Uncertain
By Emma Young
How do you know whether to trust what someone is telling you? There’s ongoing debate about which cues are reliable, and how good we are at recognising deception. But now a new paper in Nature Communications reveals that we reliably take a particular pattern of speech pitch, loudness and duration as indicating either that the person lying or that they’re unsure of what they’re saying — and that we do it without even being aware of what we’re tuning into.
In an initial study, Louise Goupil at Sorbonne University, France, and her team manipulated the pitch, loudness and duration of a series ...

As One Licensed NC Physician To Another Unlicensed One (Dr. Mary Johnson to Dr. Mandy Cohen/NC DHHS Secretary): PROTECT MEDICAL WHISTLEBLOWERS NOW!
Related to mylast post - which went up (after much soul-searching and trepidation) on 2/28/20201 one of the biggest complaints (coming largely from folks reading on mobile phones) was that the post was " so long " . They wanted something more " concise " . The post relates my own horrific pandemic experience with Central Carolina Hospital/ApolloMD and Duke Lifepoint in Sanford, North Carolina. It ' s my third dance as a medical whistle-blower in 23 years. And much like the first two cases (Asheboro in 1998, and ETSU/Ballad Health in 2017), it ' s really NOT " soundbite " material (it would ...

A.I. In Healthcare: 8 Exciting Insights From A New E-Book
Far from being the futuristic promise it once was, artificial intelligence (A.I.) is an unavoidable eventuality in virtually all sectors. Heeding to its potential, governments around the world are collaborating and taking steps to ensure the responsible development and use of A.I. One such recent example is the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) jointly created by 14 governments and the European Union in 2020.
Healthcare will also need to brace itself for this disruptive force. Already, the number of life science studies published around A.I. rose from 1,600 in 2010 to 7,300 in 2020. The technology is ...

Moderna ’s “Secret Sauce”
By MIKE MAGEE
This week J&J gained FDA approval for their 1-shot COVID vaccine, leading optimists like Pfizer Board member, Scott Gottlieb, to predict that we will have 100 million shots out there by the end of April, and on-demand offerings for the general public. In the race toward herd immunity, we could easily ignore a revolutionary change in pharmaceutical design and manufacturing occurring under our noses.
Case in point: Moderna – subject of a recent case study by Marco Iansiti, Karim Lakhani, Hannah Mayer, and Kerry Herman in the Harvard Business Review.
Moderna – labeled by its CEO as “a technolo...

The Dark Side of the Bullet Trains
Randal O'TooleJapan was the first country to run scheduled passenger trains faster than125 miles per hour. Since then, France has runfaster trains and China has builtmore miles of high ‐speed rail lines, but Japan is still considered a model for a nationwide high ‐speed rail system.Yet there is a dark side to Japan ’s bullet trains. Japan’s economy ground to a halt in 1991 and was one of the slowest ‐growing economies in the developed world for the next two decades. A good case can be made that these two “lost decades” can be traced to the bullet trains combine...

The Candy in My Pocket with John Robert Wiltgen
I had a chance to catch up with John Robert Wiltgen, the fascinating international award-winning JRW Design founder. I’m enjoying his recent blog posts and stories and want to spread the word in case you might enjoy them too.

I enjoy his positive attitude and how he continues to charge forth and do what he loves. Over the course of his life, he built an incredible design business. He’s won more than 40 major design awards, and his work has brought him from Chicago̵...

Admiral Lord Nelson and vaccinations
The links for Nelson and Emma Hamilton are to pages at the National Portrait Gallery. The link to the National Maritime Museum is to its Research Guide, with biography and details of sources held at the Museum.Horatio, Admiral Lord Nelson came up in conversations when I was growing up. Not because he fought the French (!), or because he had an affair (tut, tut), but because he was from Norfolk, as my Dad was, and as my maternal grandmother was. Dad left Norfolk when he was 8 or 9, for the Fens, but always felt very much a Norfolkman. Nanny Shiplee had left as a toddler, but only got ...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, February 8th 2021
This study was divided in two phases: CALERIE-1 and CALERIE-2. CALERIE-1 study was performed to assess the possible effects induced by a reduction of 10-30% of caloric intake on body composition parameters and lipid profile after 6 and 12 months in a population of middle-aged non-obese subjects. CALERIE-1 results showed an improvement in lipid and glycemic profile and a reduction in body weight (BW) and fat mass.
CALERIE-2 was the largest multi-center study on CRD. A total of 220 subjects were enrolled randomly with a 2:1 allocation into two subgroups: 145 in the CRD group and 75 in the ad libitum group. The CRD gro...
