A new University of Phoenix survey conducted by The Harris Poll finds that while 90% of U.S. workers are actively learning or developing new skills on the job, many don’t realize those experiences may translate into college credit. While 45% of employed Americans do not believe work experience can count towards a degree, among workers without a college degree, nearly 3 in 5 (57%) don’t know that work experience could count toward a degree. Evaluating prior learning — sometimes called credit for prior learning (CPL) or prior learning assessment (PLA) — allows eligible, college-level knowledge gained through work, training, military service and other avenues to be assessed for potential credit toward a degree or certificate.

In the age of social media, the battle against invasive species in nature is increasingly unfolding online. A new study analyzing over 500,000 tweets posted between 2006 and 2021 examines public discourse around invasive species on the social media platform Twitter, which became X in 2023.

About The Study: This study characterizes stillbirth rates between 2016 and 2022 across clinical risk factors and geographic-based measures of access, income, and race in a large U.S. commercially insured population.

New research suggests that even warnings about near-term job automation do little to shake public confidence. Two political scientists used a survey to see how people would respond to forecasts of the arrival of “transformative AI,” from as early as 2026 to as distant as 2060. They found that shorter timelines made respondents slightly more anxious about losing their jobs, but did not meaningfully alter their views on when job losses would occur or their support for government responses such as retraining workers or providing a universal basic income.
