Designed to capture evolving attitudes toward psychoactive drugs like psilocybin, lysergic acid (LSD) and mescaline, a new study reveals a distinctively positive shift in how hallucinogens are perceived by the psychiatric community.

An estimated 1.1 billion women worldwide will have experienced menopause by 2025. Symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and anxiety can be incredibly disruptive — and last for years. But despite its massive impact, little is being done to support those going through menopause in the workplace.

Violence is on the rise, but so is technology that can turn the tide, as long as those on the frontlines lead the way. It’s a sobering reality across healthcare: Workplace violence is on the rise. And nurses, who are at the heart of care, are at especially high risk. In a 2022 National Nurses United survey , nearly half of hospital-based respondents reported an increase in workplace violence, a 57% increase from the rate reported in their previous survey in late 2021.
