This study aimed to identify specific strategies used by high-performing clinics to promote consistent follow-up visits for adults with chronic conditions​.

Mathematicians studied the flow of human crowds and developed a way to predict when pedestrian paths will transition from orderly to entangled. Their findings may help inform the design of public spaces that promote safe and efficient thoroughfares. 

New Haven, Conn. — Most job candidates know to dress nicely for Zoom interviews and to arrange a professional-looking background for the camera. But a new Yale study suggests they also ought to test the quality of their microphones.

A tinny voice caused by a cheap mic, researchers say, could sink their chances.

Through a series of experiments, the study demonstrates that tinny speech — a thin, metallic sound — during video conferences can have surprisingly deep social consequences, leading listeners to lower their judgments of a speaker’s intelligence, credibility, and romantic desirability. It also can hurt an individual’s chances of landing a job. These effects could be a potential source of unintentional bias and discrimination, given the likelihood that microphone quality is correlated with socioeconomic status, the researchers said.

A study conducted by researchers from Syracuse University’s Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders reveals that brain stimulation shows promise in reducing fatigue.
