Decoding the unspoken ways we communicate
The National Academics of Sciences Engineering Medicine
Each of us has 43 muscles in our face, and we use those muscles to create 10,000 unique combinations of expressions — all of which subtly convey important information to other people during conversations, explains computer scientist Ehsan Hoque. Our physical gestures, language, and tone of voice add further layers of complexity.

The new physician training environment: How medical schools are navigating students' return
Becker's Hospital Review
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted traditional learning processes and environments for medical schools nationwide this spring.
Many ended in-person classes, suspended student clinical rotations, switched to remote learning options and stopped students' interaction with patients. Others allowed students to graduate early and be involved in patient care during critical healthcare workforce shortages at hospitals.
