Eliminating the Subminimum Wage Would Reduce Opportunities for America ’s Most Vulnerable
Ryan Bourne and Brad SubramaniamA Housebill,the Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act, aims to eliminate the federal “subminimum wage”—the ability for employers to pay workers with significant disabilities below today’s hourly federal wage floor of $7.25 per hour.Current law allows employers to apply for a federal certificate from the Department of Labor (DoL) to hire subminimum wage workers.

How To Prioritize Employee Wellness On The Return To The Office
As restrictions lift and the world begins to return to its former pre-pandemic working system, it’s clear to see that a large percentage of the corporate population are all but dreading the reluctant return. Whether it’s the lasting effects of Covid-19’s bitter reign or the early commute just around the corner, studies have shown that Brits just don’t want to go back.

The question is, why are workers so reluctant to return? After swapping the office environment for a bedroom desk in early 2020, life as corporate workers knew it has changed dramatically. From remote communication to isol...

Decluttering Tips
I’ve been decluttering my garage for the past few weeks, so here are some decluttering tips I’ve figured out for processing, purging, and organizing, especially if you have a lot of old tech clutter to deal with.
Approach Decluttering with Patience
Just chip away at the project one item at a time, not worrying about how long it will take. It’s wise to approach such a project with great patience, allowing it to take as long as it wants to take without feeling any need to rush.
I put this project off for years because I could never squeeze it into any kind of schedule. I only made significant progress when I g...

The profound experience of being naked with other doctors
I am sitting in hot springs deep in the dark and crisp air woods – naked. It has been a day of lectures and workshops at a retreat with my fellow physicians. We are all naked in the effervescent, warm bubbles of the springs. In the dark, I can recognize who people are by theRead more …The profound experience of being naked with other doctors originally appeared inKevinMD.com. (Source: Kevin, M.D. - Medical Weblog)

Trying to bury trauma does not work
Rationale: Sometimes it helps to talk about trauma; sometimes it helps to just listen. Having a safe, supportive, confidential, affirming environment to do both or either is important.

I have always acknowledged the importance of yoga and other complimentary, often behavioral,Read more …Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com. Search thousands of physician, PA, NP, and CRNA jobs now.

Conscious Growth Club Has 108 Members for Year 5
Conscious Growth Club had its best annual launch ever last week. We now have 108 members in the club for Year 5, including Rachelle and me. That a 20% increase from last year.
We only open for new members one week each year. We’ll open again for Year 6 in the last week of April 2022. From now till then, we’ll be serving and engaging with the CGCers who decided to share this journey together.
I love that each year in CGC is a different experience because there’s a different mix of people each year. CGC co-creatively adapts to the people who join. I think CGC Year 5 is likely to be our most co-creativ...

How to Make an Aligned Decision About Joining CGC
Today, May 1st, is the deadline for deciding whether to join Conscious Growth Club for our 5th year together.
Last year on this same day, more than 25% of the people who joined or renewed CGC for Year 4 did so in the last 7 hours of the day (between 5pm and midnight Pacific time), so it wouldn’t be surprising if we see a big surge in sign-ups today. That sort of thing has happened with every launch we’ve done.
For many people this is a big decision. CGC doesn’t have a monthly membership. It’s year-long experience. And there’s that $1997 price that invites people to think carefully about ...

Gone Fishing: Teaching Bioinformatics With Skate DNA
As computers have advanced over the past few decades, researchers have been able to work with larger and more complex datasets than ever before. The science of using computers to investigate biological data is called bioinformatics, and it’s helping scientists make important discoveries, such as finding versions of genes that affect a person’s risk for developing various types of cancer. Many scientists believe that almost all biologists will use bioinformatics to some degree in the future.
