Our Bittersweet Symphonies: How Music is Mobilising the Masses
For millennia music has been a vehicle for us to express our emotions, tell our stories, spark our movements, and inspire us to ask the big questions. The rise of mass media has only made this a more potent force. The Power of Musical Momentum It was Bob Dylan who espoused that we are ‘Only a Pawn in Their Game,’ during the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s.

Genomics of Acinetobacter baumannii iron uptake

Mobilization of the blaKPC-14 gene among heterogenous plasmids in extensively drug-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae
1. Introduction The widespread of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is considered an urgent threat to public health, as it complicates patient care and increases morbidity and mortality in cases of infection (Wang M. et al., 2022; Pérez-Galera et al., 2023). Available data from the China Antimicrobial Surveillance Network (CHINET) showed that the prevalence of CRKP has rapidly increased in China, from 2.9% in 2005 to 24.2% in 2022.

Acinetobacter baumannii from grass: novel but non-resistant clones
Acinetobacter baumannii is one the most worrisome nosocomial pathogens, which has long been considered almost mainly as a hospital-associated bacterium. There have been some studies about animal and environmental isolates over the last decade. However, little effort has been made to determine if this pathogen dwells in the grass. Here, we aim to determine the evolutionary relationships and antibiotic resistance of clones of A.

Christmas in Austin by Benjamin Markovits review - protean perspective on family dynamics
In Christmas in Austin, novelist Benjamin Markovits rejoins the four Essinger siblings for a yuletide gathering at their parents’ house in Texas. Set two years after we first met the German-American clan (in A Weekend in New York, 2018), resentment and yearning prove hard to hide despite the festivities. Naturally, the novel is glutted with scenes of eating and drinking, but much recent upheaval needs digesting too.

[Best of 2017] 11 brutal truths about creativity that no one wants to talk about
Humanity has revered creativity throughout time, from the ancient Greeks to modern-day painters, poets, and web designers. It’s one of those ineffable things that’s extremely hard to define but you absolutely know it when you see it. It’s also the driving force for so many of us, to the point where we’ve created an entire category of worker that just called “creative.” But while creativity might seem like magic, it’s definitely a good kind of magic and a bad kind of magic.
The entrepreneur's guide to failure
“Fail fast, fail often” is an established mantra in the startup world. When creating a new business, every failed idea — every rejection, every roadblock — puts you one step closer to developing a successful product. In the business world, failure is a learning opportunity. Launching a startup means knocking on 100 doors, and having 99 slammed in your face. It means throwing your ideas to the wolves for scrutiny, and watching them get picked apart and twisted.
Resources for Eliminating Bias in Design | UX Booth
Several months ago I realized that, as designers, our work is unconsciously limited by bias. I had a dream project; one which afforded me the opportunity to improve one of my weaker skills — creating a color palette. After putting together a few different versions of the client’s site, in typical UX fashion I went out in search of feedback. I showed my designs to the guy next to me, and he flatly stated, “I don’t like it.
The simple formula for great UX design
We’re in the midst of a digital renaissance. With the rise of startups and transformative tech companies like Apple and Google, the user’s experience has never been more important. That means that the humble designer is suddenly essential to the experiences of billions of people. And we designers have risen to the challenge. As a young designer, I delighted in exploring new tools, developing my processes, and working with cohesive design teams.
How to Avoid UX Burnout
As I watched the app go live in across the various app stores I felt exhausted. The steps leading up to the launch had been intense, involving multiple stakeholders, scores of different user personas, and innumerable iteration cycles spread across a multitude of design teams. We shipped the project on time and shared high-fives all around, but after the dust had settled, I realized how truly tired each step of this project had made me. After the launch, I was all UX’ed out.
