DoL ’s Independent Contracting Proposal Endangers Both Freedom and Prosperity
Walter Olson“Biden wants to let gig workers be employees,” reads the headline on a Washington Post story. The lead paragraph says the Biden Department of Labor intends to “make it easier” for independent contractors to be considered employees, “granting them access to benefits and federal labor protections.”“Let” is truly a bizarre wording here, reinforced by words like “easier” and “granting.” The proposed Labor Department regulation doesn’t grant permission, it imposes a requirement. It would force employee status on many workers whoactively wish to remain independent contractors....

Increasing Diversity in NIGMS ’ Medical Scientist Training Program
Since the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) began in 1975, it has supported more than 14,000 clinician-scientist trainees. The program provides predoctoral training grants (T32) to institutions to develop and implement effective, evidence-informed training for students pursuing both a clinical and a research doctorate degree (i.e., M.D.-Ph.D.).
A recently published article written by NIGMS staff showed that while the MSTP has been successful in producing clinician-scientists, women and members of certain racial and ethnic backgrounds remain underrepresented among trainees. These findings, along with suggeste...

Taking your brain vitals: Stories from a techno-optimist inventing the future of human performance
We examined how experts currently measured brain health—like the neurologist who met my dad, gave him some tests, and made a determination. No matter how gifted the neurologist may be, there was no way for him to know whether my dad’s cognition had declined, improved, or stayed the same over the past months or even years. Yet I’d expected that doctor to have all the answers.
We proposed a new approach. Rather than boil the ocean trying to characterize every aspect of cognition, we said, “Let’s track brain health as if it’s a vital sign.” To do this, we needed a tracking tool that was as easy to use as, say, a...
