In rodent models, repeated head impacts can worsen brain injury outcomes and substantially prolong recovery.

With heightened awareness of the association between sports head impacts and brain trauma, guidelines have been introduced to limit head impact exposure in sports,

At lower impact severities and exposure levels, a lot of soccer headers can lead to acute neurological deficits and concussion symptoms.

In fact, long-term head impact exposure from sports and other activities may trigger a neurodegenerative condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

We would then be driven to work by our smart cars while we relax and read the paper.

Surprisingly, the thought of this scared me more than anything.

I could think of nothing lazier.

Unlike the vast majority of surveys in human history, this one had been carefully field-tested.

If you asked kids the right questions, they could identify, with uncanny accuracy, their most – and least –effective teachers.

Now, this approach is fraught with difficulty.

And it puts huge pressure on teachers to ‘teach to the test’.

student surveys are a better indicator of teacher performance

standardized testing is an old way of evaluating teachers

student surveys are an inaccurate way to appraise teacher performance

standardized testing is a good indicator of a teacher’s success in the classroom

While many studies have shown the benefits of later school starts, including better student attendance, higher test scores, and improved sleep duration, few have used starting times later than 9:00 a.m.

Here we report on the implementation and impact of a 10 a.m. school start time for 13 to 16-year-old students.

The 10:00 a.m. start was associated with a 12% increase in the value-added number of students making good academic progress.

These results show that changing to a 10:00 a.m. high school start time can greatly reduce illness and improve academic performance.

Health warning labels that use strong causal language deter consumers more than labels with weaker language

A large body of research has shown that smoking does, in fact, cause cancer.
