A pharmaceutical company just made a major move to make its vaccine more accessible to people.

In October, Medecins Sans Frontieres, otherwise known as Doctors Without Borders, a humanitarian group focused on supplying medical care in emergency situations around the world, turned down a donation of 1 million doses of pneumonia vaccines from the pharmaceutical company Pfizer, arguing that the group would rather pay a lower price for each vaccine than getting donations...

At parties and bars, he introduces himself as a "rat tickler."

The title makes Shimpei Ishiyama sound like he belongs in some forgotten guild of yore, with the Victorian "pure-finders," who collected dog dung for a living, and the "flankers and flaggers," who kept partridges in the range of hunters' guns.

But he is, in actual fact, a neuroscientist, and his rat-tickling is anything but antiquated. By trying to titillate these rodents — and recording how their neurons respond ... Читать дальше...

ESPN is moving their star morning debate show, "First Take," from ESPN2 to ESPN in 2017 in an effort to boost its declining viewership, according to John Ourand of Sports Business Daily. 

While this move can be looked at as an effort to revive ESPN's most controversial show, it is also a sign that ESPN is at a crossroads and a larger shake-up is brewing for the self-proclaimed "Worldwide Leader in Sports."

It has been a rough year for ESPN. They laid off more than 300 employees at the end of 2015 ... Читать дальше...

Corporate lingo is notoriously annoying.

Peppering your speech with a few clichés once in a while is fine, but becoming overly reliant on jargon will make you hard to understand.

Practically everyone has suffered through a conversation or presentation featuring a boss or a coworker needlessly stuffing buzzwords into presentations and conversations. Most of the time, it's better to just be clear and say what you mean.

For everyone who doesn't speak "corporate,"... Читать дальше...

ALGONAC, Mich. (Reuters) - Back in April, there were already early signs in this quiet Michigan town of the rural American discontent that helped propel Donald Trump to election victory, even if it was underestimated by the Washington establishment, pollsters and Hillary Clinton's campaign.

On a return visit after Tuesday's election, Reuters found that many of Algonac's 4,000 residents were jubilant that Trump had captured the White House, although there were also echoes of what some people said seven months ago... Читать дальше...

Richard Branson, the billionaire founder of Virgin Group and a fervent critic of Donald Trump, is willing to give the next president's administration three to six months to see how much of the campaign points become reality.

If Trump doesn't temper his plans, the responsibility for progressive change will fall on entrepreneurs, Branson told Business Insider during the promotional tour for his new biographical documentary, "Don't Look Down."

Handing over even half the reins to your hard-earned money is a scary prospect. So it can be tempting to dismiss the possibility as soon as your spouse-to-be brings it up.

But give it a little more thought. Because, while there are a bunch of situations in which it might not make sense to merge finances when you get married, there are plenty of compelling reasons to go ahead and do it.

Some of those reasons are practical. For example, according to Thomas J. Читать дальше...

In October, after four months of training and endless hours spent traversing every sidewalk in Brooklyn, New York, I ran an uninterrupted 13.1 miles to finish my first half marathon.

It was hard, but worth the effort.

However, when I first started running four summers ago, I could barely make it two blocks without stopping. I questioned if I'd be able to finish the 5K I'd impulsively signed up for and laughed at the prospect of even attempting a half marathon. Читать дальше...

The Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, has experienced hiccups of late.

An older, sicker, and more expensive pool of patients have led to losses for health insurers and pull backs from the ACA's public exchanges. Increased costs — mostly in states that have not expanded Medicaid — and higher deductibles have put pressure on Americans' wallets.

On the flip side, one of its successes has come from the fact that 20 million Americans who would did not have coverage before Obamacare now have it. Читать дальше...

The cast of "Westworld" often dons cowboy (or cowgirl) hats and old-fashioned clothing appropriate for the Wild West, but in real life they're a glamorous group of Hollywood stars. Though the actors playing Delos staff have a much more typical wardrobe — and therefore don't look too strikingly different — we love seeing them in our host-free world.

Scientists have analyzed a strange depression on the surface Mars, and say it could be the perfect place to search for signs of life, because it could contain three key ingredients for life: water, heat, and nutrients.

The funnel-shaped structure looks like the ancient 'ice cauldrons' we have on Earth, that formed when volcanoes erupted under the ice sheets of Iceland and Greenland. If the same process occurred on Mars, it could have left behind a warm, nutrient-rich environment. Читать дальше...
