Researchers at the Max Planck Institute and the Santa Fe Institute have developed a new model to explain the evolutionary origins of empathy and other related phenomena, such as emotional contagion and contagious yawning. The model suggests that the origin of a broad range of empathetic responses lies in cognitive simulation. It shifts the theoretical focus from a top-down approach that begins with cooperation to one that begins with a single cognitive mechanism.

Many people binge watch as an escape from the rigors of everyday life. But all that viewing can lead to negative health effects, including sleep disruption and mindless eating.
Nurses play critical roles in patient safety and are often the last line of defense against medical errors and unsafe practices. Considerable research has explored the relationship between the nurse work environment and a variety of patient and nurse quality and safety outcomes. But until now, no synthesis of this body of research has been made to clearly articulate the association between nurse work environments and health care quality, safety and patient and clinician well-being.

In a first-of-its-kind study, Penn Nursing’s Center for Health Outcomes & Policy Research (CHOPR) has examined nurse satisfaction with EHR systems and the concurrent effects of EHR adoption level and the hospital work environment on usability and quality outcomes. Data from more than 12,000 nurses at 353 hospitals in four states show that the work environment is associated with all EHR usability outcomes, with nurses in hospitals with better environments being less likely than nurses in less favorable environments to report dissatisfaction with EHR systems.
The University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing (Penn Nursing) remains the number one nursing school in the world according to a recent ranking by QS World University. The rankings highlight the world’s top universities in 48 different subject areas (as of 2019) based on academic reputation, employer reputation, and research impact. This is the fourth consecutive year that Penn Nursing has taken the top spot.
Sub-vocalization, the silent, preparatory muscle movements of the face and larynx that result when singers run a song through their heads prior to vocalizing, could be nudging them out of tune, according to University at Buffalo researchers. Their recently published study for first time presents evidence suggesting a relationship among sub-vocalization, auditory imagery and poor pitch singing.
UB aerospace engineer James Chen publishes a paper that extends classical kinetic theory into high-speed aerodynamics, including hypersonic speed, which begins at 3,836 mph or roughly five times the speed of sound. The new study and others by Chen in influential academic journals attempt to solve long-standing problems associated with high-speed aerodynamics.

The Jones Award recognizes individuals or groups that have had a significant, sustained impact on genetics education at any level.
Physicists are using innovative tools to study a bizarre class of molecules that may play a role in disease: proteins that cluster together to form spherical droplets inside human cells. A new study sheds light on conditions that drive such droplets to switch from a fluid, liquidy state to a harder, gel-like state.
In the cells of every living organism — humans, birds, bees, roses and even bacteria — proteins vibrate with microscopic motions that help them perform vital tasks ranging from cell repair to photosynthesis. Now, scientists have developed a method for rapidly measuring proteins’ unique vibrations.

Around 40-60% of healthy adults carry around the fungus Candida albicans in their mouth or guts; in immunocompromised people, however, this normally harmless cohabitant becomes a deadly pathogen. A report in the journal GENETICS describes the genomes of three Candida albicans strains isolated from the barks of oak trees in an ancient wood pasture, providing genetic evidence that this yeast can live on plants for extended periods of time.

Hispanic males were two times more likely to have a fatal interaction with the police in neighborhoods that have a high percentage of Hispanic residents – and police agencies with more Hispanic officers were associated with higher odds of Hispanic fatalities. The results suggest that even the most diverse police forces are not exempt from the need for reforms within their ranks
