Named after the hundred-eyed watchman of Greek myth, Argus watches the education landscape: spotting new opportunities, pressure-testing the ventures we're building, and tracing every read back to the real-world signals behind it.
The evidence library: the raw signals the pipeline is watching across the education ecosystem. Every idea is built from these.
Apparently a couple was fighting in the car and got into an accident. They left the car and continued to fight. A bystander stepped in to try and help the situation. With no good deed going unpunished, that person got shot and killed. The road had to be shut down for CSI and detectives to work the case. Due to that, the major intersection to the west of campus was closed. At least 1/2 of my first period was late or didn't come at all. What a way to start the school year. Anyone else have any crazy beginnings to talk about? submitted by /u/PinkPajamaPenguin [link] [comments]
Background. Journal clubs (JCs) are a popular education format. Interest in studying their impact is high, and authors often report positive results related to subjective parameters. Objective assessments of effectiveness are limited and contradictory. In this paper, we share our experience and describe our journal club effectiveness. Methods. We conducted a prospective cohort study within our online journal club. Meetings followed a discussion-based format and were held via Zoom, with timing and topics determined by voting in the club Telegram chat. Enrolment occurred in waves and included an application, entry test, and interview. During each recruitment wave, both club members (treatment group) and applicants (control) completed an admission test assessing knowledge of evidence-based medicine and statistics. Results. The JC currently comprises 27 members. Over the past year, 76 meetings were held, with 75% of participants grading their experience with 9 or 10 on a ten-point scale. M
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing an opportunity for the public to comment on CMS' intention to collect information from the public.

These awards are made pursuant to new statutory authority and recent appropriations providing $8 million to extend Head Start eligibility and services in the Freely Associated States, as authorized under the Compacts of Free Association Amendments Act of 2024 (Division G, Title II of Public Law 118-42), and the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act.
HRSA provides funding to support a national center for newborn screening systems known as the National Center for Newborn Screening Systems Excellence (NBS Excel). In fiscal year 2026, supplemental funding is being provided to NBS Excel to establish a national newborn screening stakeholder workgroup. This workgroup will be a pathway for conditions to be considered and recommended for inclusion in the Recommended Uniform Screening Panel (RUSP) and to discuss national- level issues related to newborn screening. Membership will include representatives from a wide range of newborn screening experts and stakeholders. The award recipient will convene the workgroup and develop findings, reports, and recommendations for HRSA's review and consideration. HRSA will then make recommendations to the Secretary of Health and Human Services, who has final decision-making authority on updates to the RUSP.
The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) is seeking nominations for membership on the National Vaccine Advisory Committee (referred to as NVAC and/or the Committee). The NVAC is a federal advisory committee within the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

This document withdraws a proposed rule that was published in the Federal Register on January 11, 2008. The proposed rule would have amended the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) regulations at 45 CFR 1355.40 and the appendices to Part 1355 to modify the requirements for States to collect and report data to ACF on children in out-of-home care and in subsidized adoption or guardianship arrangements with the State. This document also withdraws the provision of the 2008 proposed rule that implemented the AFCARS penalty requirements of the Adoption Promotion Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108-145).
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing the availability of a final guidance for industry entitled "Guide to Minimize Biological Hazards in Ready-to-Eat Fresh-Cut Produce." This guidance supersedes a previous guidance, entitled "Guide to Minimize Microbial Food Safety Hazards of Fresh-Cut Fruits and Vegetables," issued in 2008, and is a final guidance to the draft guidance for industry entitled "Guide to Minimize Food Safety Hazards of Fresh-Cut Produce" issued in 2018. The guidance is intended to help manufacturers or processors of ready-to-eat fresh-cut produce that is not a low-moisture food comply with applicable requirements in our regulations on current good manufacturing practices for hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls for human food.
Scientists at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have developed a novel tightly regulated drug-responsive, membrane-bound IL- 12 cytokine platform, that enhances anti-tumor efficacy in adoptive cell therapy (ACT) with engineered T-cells (CAR, TCR, TILs) while improving safety.

Scientists at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have discovered a novel therapeutic, diagnostic and prognostic target for thrombosis: Soluble Tissue Factor (sTF). NCI has generated first-in- class antibodies and platform selectively neutralizing pathological coagulation while preserving normal hemostasis. This platform technology can be used to prevent, diagnose and treat pathological thrombosis caused by a variety of clinical conditions-including cancer, sepsis, infectious diseases (e.g., COVID), autoimmune disorders, trauma, heart conditions and inflammatory conditions. It offers a much more sensitive and specific test of thrombosis than the current D-dimer test. It may be applicable to any clinical condition which induces necroptosis, pyroptosis and NETtosis, such as cancer, neurodegenerative disease, ischemia-reperfusion and acute injuries, traumatic injuries, bacterial and viral infections, cardiovascular conditions, and atherosclerosis, inflammatory, autoimmune conditions, and
This technology encompasses a DNA methylation-based diagnostic platform designed to improve the accuracy and consistency of cancer classification, with demonstrated utility for tumors of the central nervous system, kidney, and hematopoietic system. By identifying disease-specific methylation signatures, the approach reduces interobserver variability and enhances diagnostic confidence. The central nervous system (CNS) classifier is built from a curated reference set of 16,567 methylation profiles and organizes tumors into 22 families and 133 clinically relevant diagnostic classes, including 21 newly developed methylation classes not represented in other existing tools. Across multiple independent validation cohorts (n = 5,875), the classifier demonstrated robust performance, and in a clinical-impact analysis of 1,204 NIH validation cases, methylation profiling materially influenced final diagnosis in 74.4% of cases by refining, increasing precision, or reclassifying. The CNS classifier

A few months ago I made a post about how I couldn't sleep because I was worried that I would never be a teacher again since I got a reprimand on my teacher certificate. I got a lot of hate including someone telling me that "my teaching days were over", but I now sit in front of you as a new teacher-of-record at a public school district. I had a number of schools tell me that my mark would bar me from being employed with them, but this district twenty-thirty minutes away from my home appreciated my honesty and saw that I had learned from my situation. There is hope for you if you are in a similar circumstance and want to continue teaching. You may have to send out a lot of applications, go to a lot of interviews, or be told that your sanction makes you ineligible for hire, but continue to be honest about your situation and let the interviewing panel know about your reprimand (I brought it up at the end of the interview after things went well). Hell, you might even be hired for your raw

I’ve been out sick for 2 days, and it’s about to be a 3rd but one of the nurses messaged me about my patient and said “***** passed away”. I get it’s my patient but at the same time… I’ll be back later this week. I’ll find out then. That’s not my concern right now. IM my concern right now. I understand that nurse is helping with my caseload but I didn’t reach out to that person when they were on vacation about their patients. I took on their caseload and updated them later.

Our school now does not want students to cut and paste. If I want the students to do a word sort and match pictures to terms, I have to cut it all out for them so they don’t waste instructional time cutting. This isn’t an exaggeration.

my boyfriend recently became a teacher ! he’s having trouble with lunch though. there is a break room but it’s in a different building and his school is strange because he has a class and then the class goes on lunch break and then that same class comes right back. which leads to many students eating their lunch in his classroom so he can’t really leave the class. he’s essentially has been spamming uncrustables the past 2 weeks. though I know I have some decent quality ice packs so I’m thinking of starting to pack him something more nutritious but need ideas. much appreciated! submitted by /u/AdTimely7710 [link] [comments]
This year every school in the district has one or two or three "long-term subs," that they are using instead of hiring classroom teachers.

I’m currently an oncology rn with over 1.5 years of experience, but I also recently got out of the crisis stabilization unit for admitting to my manager that I am suicidal after a patient passed and my brain was convincing me it was my fault. I spoke to the nurses in the unit who convinced me it wasn’t. And my manager and coworkers did as well. But my brain wasn’t accepting it. I felt better after being discharged for a little bit, but now every little thing is stressing me out and things I used to have confidence in addressing myself are things I’m freaking out about now. Yesterday a patients most recent potassium was 3.5. However out EMR flags it as low. Normal in the EMR is 3.6 to 5.0 for some reason. I asked a coworker to double check orders with me and she mentioned it. “Are they doing anything about the potassium?” And I was like, “I was always told 3.5 is normal” because that’s what I was taught in school. And she was just like “yeah ok.” And signed them. But I started spiraling
This nurse cared enough to report her local sheriff department to APS. When the sheriff claimed no wrong doing, she pushed the issue and fully documented the injuries. The patient, who was in a medical crisis for FIVE DAYS in a holding cell, lost his leg and is now permanently disabled. With the help of her extensive chart documentation, he’s now appropriately suing the sheriffs department. He was never arraigned or convicted of anything, neither. Excellent reminder to maintain accurate and consistent charting. 👍 submitted by /u/No_Knowledge4718 [link] [comments]
For those of us who worked through covid- and still feel the trauma of all that death. All the people we met and then watched die, or held an iPad in front of an intubated face with a sat of 40% and PEEP of 25 while listening to sobs from faces on the other side. Are any of you feeling the creeping sense of the memories and anger while reading the countless posts on SM "Yeah, I saw all your tick tock dances, you liars!". "Empty ICUs, empty hospital parking lots" like we are all collectively making up this huge conspiracy, and we didn't experience constant death. And I didn't hear the guttaral screams as a mother hit the floor while I crushed the chest of her 25 year old son, and the PA told her we had to stop? I know they are morons. They sat at home and listened to other morons tell them what their smooth brains wanted to hear via podcasts, SM, fox news or whatever they could find to placate their 6th grade mindset while we experienced what we did.

Hey all, Seeking some advice here. I took a new job this year as a middle school PE teacher. This morning, a fight between two girls broke out during warmups and I stepped in between to break it up and ended up getting punched in the face. I know I shouldn’t step between them to protect myself now but that’s after the fact that I already did that. Anyway, I don’t super want to go back to teaching at this school anymore. Behaviors in addition to this are rough and I need to make sure I am in a safe environment. I’d like to speak with administration about letting me go without coming for my license so I can seek employment elsewhere. Does this sound reasonable? I don’t want to have the conversation and have it backfire on me. I’m currently at the workman’s comp waiting room to be checked out. In Illinois if it matters.

Sixth year teaching in this district. Far from the poorest school, generally done well financially. Apparently finances have been so low recently, that they have decided to take away control of thermostats for all buildings. They have set temperatures for us in the summer and winter, and I know it’s gonna be just the best goshdarn temperature ever. So how was your day?

This may have somehow given an ounce of inspiration in the otherwise trodden down world of being a night shift nurse: A surgeon, of all people, who was trying to get my patient into the OR that night, had to cancel bc of some trauma (idk). So he told her it’s not happening. Great. Now, she hasn’t eaten in two days. I hadn’t addressed that yet. Well, he asked me about it and probably could tell it was pretty low on my priority list (it was shift change)… well, he goes down to the cafe and buys her dinner out of his own pocket and then came back up to the floor and hand delivered it. Wild. Nobody gets how wild that is. I have never ever seen that in my years. Anyway thought I’d share. submitted by /u/Avatar617 [link] [comments]

Good morning all. Just a general question. I’m 24 and am starting my 3rd school year teaching this year. I am also on my 3rd school building as well. In my experience, I’ve been one of 5 people or less in each school building I’ve worked in that were under the age of 40. I have also noticed that other new hires within the districts I’ve worked in for the most part are not younger people. I wonder if this is unique to my area, or if this is something that may be noticed widespread. What’s your thoughts? submitted by /u/Vast-State-4548 [link] [comments]
The nurses at work were reminiscing about the covid years, the volume of deaths, family members, the media, the pressure injuries on their faces from wearing masks, and just the sheer pressure on the healthcare system.

I admitted a patient with stage 4 pancreatic cancer to med Surg for nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain. Fecal impaction was found. So the point was to enema and laxative our way through while controlling nausea and pain. Patient was female and in early 60s. We had a lot of good conversation. She spoke with a Connecticut accent like my mother in law, who I look up to. She carried a strong, don’t-feel-sorry-for-me attitude but it was combined with sarcasm and humor. Her hair was thin from chemo, her face, gaunt. I could see what a vibrant and beautiful person she’s been all her life. I enjoyed taking care of her. I came back the next night and she was not doing as well. Her husband and 2 sisters were there. They were lovely as well. The patient was still cracking her jokes, but the pain and heaving didn’t allow for as many. My meds weren’t working. Her family watched her like a hawk with fear and tears in their eyes holding it together, wondering if this time might be the last time they al

I’m both a middle school teacher and a parent of school-age children. I started a part-time job a year ago in retail and was doing my onboarding training in August. The training covered a shooting scenario. In the retail setting, I was trained that my number one priority was myself. I was to do anything necessary to run, hide, or fight. I had absolutely no responsibility to the business, to the customers, or to any of my colleagues. I am to act in my own best interest with the priority to run. Juxtapose that with the beginning of school safety procedures. We are trained on lockdown protocols. But we are told that if we have the opportunity to run to take it. But as the classroom teacher, if I choose to run but not all of my students want to run with me, what is my liability? What is my professional responsibility? What is my ethical responsibility? My personal responsibility of parent to school-age children tells me to prioritize myself and do whatever I need to do to ensure I’m still
have a plan for how to get the medication left in the tubing into the patient. I'm not talking about fluids or the ED folks that hang the big ass 500 cc bag of vanco to gravity. I see people hang little 50 cc or 100 cc bags primary, through a pump, and then just run it dry because they don't think about the volume they used to prime the tubing. I was that fucking visitor today and touched an IV pump. I felt so shitty having to do it and only did so after having the call light on for a few minutes. They had hung 1 g methylprednisolone as a primary in a 50 cc bag and overprogrammed it by over 25 cc. It was the same tubing I use where I work and I know for a fact the primary and extension tubing they had on there was 20-25 cc depending on how full the drip chamber was. It had just started pulling air past the drip chamber so I hit the stop button. They had programmed it for the exact amount on the bag without a thought as to how to get the half to a third of the dose that was left in the
I’m in Australia and we only use brand names for a handful of meds. Where I work, these are typically Panadol, clexane, Movicol, buscopan, tazocin, augmentin, slow K/span K and a couple more my mind is blanking on. It’s hospital policy (and AFAIK legal policy) to use generic names to avoid confusion and keep everything standardised, but we let it slide for very common ones we all know. When I watch US medical shows (which is pretty much only The Pitt anyway) or stuff on social media, I’m always surprised at how many brand names are used. I’m constantly looking up meds I’ve never heard of only to find out it’s actually something I give every day. I remember watching The Pitt and being like “wtf is Ancef is that some niche antibiotic we never use” but turns out it’s just amoxicillin cefazolin. Doesn’t this cause confusion when there’s multiple brand names available? Are generic medications not as common over there so brand names end up being used more? Edit: by “we” in my first sentence
