Several Canadian jurisdictions are moving toward ending the twice-yearly clock change, but a new analysis published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal)  https://www.cmaj.ca/lookup/doi/10.1503/cmaj.261089 argues that eliminating the clock change is only half the decision: governments must also decide whether to adopt permanent standard time or permanent daylight saving time. Both choices have trade-offs. Permanent daylight saving time keeps evenings lighter, which may support recreation, social activity, commuting, and some economic activity.

University of Phoenix has published a new white paper, Three Pillars for Embracing AI at University of Phoenix, by Christina Neider, Ed.D., and Marc Booker, Ph.D., outlining the University's institutional framework for integrating generative artificial intelligence (AI) across academic programs, student learning experiences, and institutional processes, policies and workflows while helping prepare working adult learners for an AI-enabled workforce. The white paper examines the role higher education institutions can play in helping learners develop the knowledge, skills and judgment needed to use AI effectively and responsibly. Drawing on University of Phoenix's generative AI implementation work, the authors share a scalable, three-pillar framework for higher education AI adoption aligned with workforce relevance and student success.

Pediatric clinicians can learn useful information by tracking the health misinformation that their patients encounter, according to research presented during the American Academy of Pediatrics 2026 National Conference & Exhibition Oct. 2-6, 2026, at the San Diego Convention Center.

Primary school pupils who use an AI-supported learning tool learn arithmetic more quickly than children who do not use such a tool. This is the finding of a multi-year study by Radboud University involving nearly eight thousand children. However, the researchers warn that it's no miracle cure, as the teacher’s role remains essential even with AI.

A new study has shown that faith leaders would be willing to partner on hypertension screenings and education, despite challenges of past health collaborations.

A researcher at University of Tsukuba analyzed the evolution of the "Holodeck," the immersive virtual environment depicted in the science fiction series Star Trek. Drawing on this analysis, researchers propose AI Character Media, a new framework for next-generation media in which humans and AI characters share events within a common virtual world, collaborate, develop relationships over time, and experience stories together.
