It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a woman with a family and a career is in want of more hours in the day. However, despite this, typically conversations around gender inequity at work focus on a pay gap, rather than the consequences of what happens when women don’t have as much time as their male counterparts.In a new study published in the International Journal of Management Reviews, researchers analyzed 88 studies on the interaction between “gender, time, and organizations” in Africa. The researchers wanted to spotlight African organizations to understand how caregiving and other cultural expectations play out at…

When Dr. Paul Piff, a social psychologist at the University of California, Irvine, first became curious about awe more than a decade ago, his questions seemed simple. What is awe, exactly, and what happens when we experience it? But answering those questions has been no simple task. To take his research to the next level, Piff and his team created an unprecedented study and traveled to one of the most awe-inspiring places in the world—Lake Tahoe—where they studied awe’s effects on more than a thousand people. Dr. Piff was drawn toward the study of awe by its correlation with his…

At the April 2 meeting of the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC), a largely-Trump aligned panel voted with a large majority to support the design of the White House ballroom. Eight of the 11 commissioners at the meeting voted in support. Two commissioners voted “present” and only one, Washington D.C. Council chair Phil Mendelson, voted no. The vote is a crucial approval for the ballroom, known officially as the East Wing Modernization Project. The NCPC is a federal agency overseeing planning and design for federal land and buildings in the Washington D.C. area. Its approval of the project adds legitimacy…

We love a good old social media roast, and Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan found himself on the business end of a doozie Wednesday. Tan, who in a past life worked as an engineering manager at Palantir and has more recently been a vocal proponent for AI acceleration, bragged that he and his AI coding agents have been deploying 37,000 lines of code per day across five separate projects. “Absolutely insane week for agentic engineering,” Tan wrote in an X post on Monday, adding in a follow-up post that he was on a 72-day shipping streak.Two days later, a Polish game…

The Artemis II crew is en route to the moon, but NASA’s interest isn’t just exploration — it’s extraction. The mission is laying groundwork for permanent lunar colonies at the South Pole to mine helium-3, a rare element that’s been collecting in the Moon’s soil for billions of years. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman says helium-3 could become “a more efficient source of fusion power” — and it barely exists on Earth. Helium-3 is abundant on the moon but a rare commodity on Earth, making it potentially extremely valuable. Helium-3 could power fusion reactors — a breakthrough energy source first achieved…

President Donald Trump said Thursday that Pam Bondi is out as his attorney general, ending the contentious tenure of a loyalist who upended the Justice Department’s culture of independence from the White House, oversaw large-scale firings of career employees, and moved aggressively to investigate the Republican president’s perceived enemies.The announcement follows months of scrutiny over the Justice Department’s handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking investigation that made Bondi the target of angry conservatives, even with her close relationship with Trump. She also struggled to satisfy Trump’s demands to prosecute his political rivals, with multiple investigations rejected by judges or grand juries…

Imagine applying for a job, hearing nothing, moving to a new city, starting a different job — and then getting a rejection email nearly a year later. That’s exactly what happened to who applied for a marketing coordinator position in May 2024 and finally heard “no” this week. “It was the closure I didn’t know I needed,” they wrote. It’s not an isolated incident. More than half of job seekers, 53%, experienced ghosting in the past year, hitting a three-year high, according to a new report from pre-employment testing company Criteria. The culprit? AI tools that let candidates fire off…

A strong PR plan should balance day-to-day visibility with long-term brand building. At most plans’ core will be some sort of press office, one that fields reactive inquiries, chases proactive opportunities, and strives to create a consistent drumbeat of attention. That ongoing media presence is further punctuated by product launches, releases, or announcements that help create heightened awareness around a singular piece of news or event.That describes the basic tenets of a traditional PR plan for earned media (acknowledging that the PR function is much broader). But the playbook that agencies and in-house teams are using to deliver that is…
