Beijing municipal health authority has revoked the medical licenses of a former senior surgeon and a resident physician at a major Beijing hospital for violations of professional ethics and academic misconduct, the National Health Commission said on Thursday.国家卫生健康委员会周四表示，北京市卫生局已吊销北京一家大型医院原资深外科医生和住院医师的行医执照，原因是他们违反职业道德和学术不端行为。The disciplinary action follows an official investigation that attracted widespread public attention after the two doctors' extramarital affair and personal misconduct emerged in April. The case has prompted scrutiny of loopholes in surgical oversight, professional ethics and medical school admissions.自今年4月这两名医生的婚外情和个人不当行为曝光以来，官方对此展开了调查，并引发了广泛关注。此次纪律处分是在此之前做出的。此案引发了人们对外科监管、职业道德和医学院招生方面漏洞的反思。According to the commission, the former senior surgeon, surnamed Xiao, arbitrarily left an operating room mid-surgery while the patient was under anesthesia. He departed along with his assistant following an argument with a nurse at China-Japan Friendship Hospital in July.据该委员会称，这位姓肖的原资深外科医生在手术过程中，在患者麻醉期间擅自离开手术室。7月份，他与助手在中日友好医院与一名护士发生争执后离开。"He prioritized personal emotions over patient safety and failed to understand his responsibilities as a physician, and the potential medical risks posed to the patient by his actions," the commission said in a statement.该委员会在一份声明中表示：“肖医生将个人情感置于患者安全之上，未能理解其作为医生的责任，也未能理解其行为可能给患者带来的医疗风险。”Xiao's extramarital relationship with the resident physician, surnamed Dong, also constituted "a severe violation of professional and medical ethics" and caused "significant negative social impact", it said.肖某与住院医师董某的婚外情也构成了“严重违反职业道德和医德行为”，并造成了“重大不良社会影响”。Xiao was dismissed from the hospital and expelled from the Communist Party of China earlier this month. His medical license has been revoked by the Beijing municipal health authority, and he is banned from practicing medicine for at least five years. The hospital received a formal warning, a corrective order and financial penalties.本月初，肖某被医院开除出党，并被开除党籍。他的行医执照已被北京市卫生部门吊销，并被禁止至少五年内行医。医院收到了正式警告、责令改正和经济处罚。Dong, who graduated from an elite medical training program in China, was involved in a sexual relationship with Xiao during her residency, according to a letter published by Xiao's wife in April.据肖某妻子今年4月发表的一封信称，董某毕业于中国一所精英医学培训项目，在院期间与肖某发生了性关系。Authorities said Dong falsified academic records to gain admission to a four-year doctoral program at Peking Union Medical College—one of China's most prestigious medical schools. Her dissertation was found to contain serious instances of plagiarism, and several of her academic papers involved violations of research integrity, including improper authorship and duplicate publications.当局表示，董某伪造学术记录，以便进入中国最负盛名的医学院之一——北京协和医学院攻读四年制博士学位。她的学位论文被发现存在严重抄袭行为，她的多篇学术论文涉及违反科研诚信的行为，包括署名不当和重复发表。Peking Union Medical College has revoked Dong's degree and graduation credentials. Local health authorities have also revoked her medical qualification and license, according to the commission.北京协和医学院已撤销董某的学位和毕业证书。据该委员会称，当地卫生部门也已吊销了她的医师资格和行医执照。The "four-plus-four-year" doctoral program that admitted Dong combines undergraduate and medical studies and targets top international university graduates from nonmedical fields. It was designed to integrate medical education with interdisciplinary training and to reform the traditional eight-year path to becoming a doctor in China.董某的“四年加四年”博士研究生项目融合了本科和医学教育，面向非医学领域的国际顶尖大学毕业生。该项目旨在将医学教育与跨学科培训相结合，改革中国传统的八年制医生培养模式。The commission said the case has exposed flaws in the program's admission criteria, clinical training supervision, thesis review procedures and student ethics education.该委员会表示，此案暴露了该项目在招生标准、临床实习督导、论文评审程序和学生伦理教育方面存在的缺陷。"Peking Union Medical College is currently undergoing thorough rectification," the commission said. "The commission is working with the Ministry of Education to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the pilot program and promote reforms."该委员会表示：“北京协和医学院目前正在进行彻底整改。委员会正会同教育部对试点项目进行全面评估，并推进改革。”The commission is carrying on deeper probe into institutions and personnel involved in the case and will hold those violating rules and regulations accountable.该委员会正在对涉案机构和人员进行深入调查，并将追究违规人员的责任。revocation/ˌrevəˈkeɪʃn/n.撤销，吊销misconduct/ˌmɪsˈkʌndʌkt/n.不当行为；失职plagiarism/ˈpleɪdʒərɪzəm/n.抄袭；剽窃rectification/ˌrektɪfɪˈkeɪʃn/n.整改；纠正

On Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast this week, Geordie and Michelle look at two cults with very different agendas… Can you slap yourself to health? When Hongchi Xiao quit his life as a successful banker to instead spread the word as a guru of alternative therapy, Paida Lajin, people flocked to his workshops. Essentially, you slap yourself hard which removes the illnesses of your body to encourage healing and health. Except Xiao told diabetics to bin their medicine and keep slapping away, with tragic consequences. Listen now to find out more about this medical cult, what happened to some of his devotees and where Xiao is now…Would you eat at a cult café? The Yellow Deli in Katoomba, Australia, has a fantastic reputation for delicious food in a lovely atmosphere – but the proceeds fund an international cult called The 12 Tribes, which supports severe child discipline and female subordination. Listen now to learn more about the cult and why that Yellow Deli sandwich might leave a sour taste in your mouth…So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week's episode, plus chit-chat about The White Lotus, the new Mogwai album and more, only on Eavesdroppin' podcast.

Burnout isn't just a buzzword—it's a reality for many of us working in UX and tech. The long hours, the shifting priorities, the constant pressure to prove our value… it all adds up. And if you're not careful, it can take a serious toll. Yvonne Xiao has been there. She's worked at companies like Microsoft and Uber, navigating the highs and lows of content design in fast-paced environments. But instead of letting burnout define her career, she's figured out how to manage it—by setting boundaries, redefining success, and embracing a more sustainable approach to work. In this episode, we talk about how to recognize burnout before it's too late, the mistakes we all make when trying to "push through," and why setting boundaries isn't just about saying no—it's about knowing your worth. If you've ever felt drained by your work or wondered how to make content design (or any job in tech) actually sustainable, this one's for you. What we talked about: How Yvonne transitioned from film school to content design The early signs of burnout and how to recognize them in yourself The biggest mistakes content designers make when trying to manage burnout Why setting boundaries is hard—but necessary—for long-term career success How imposter syndrome fuels burnout (and how to reframe it) The importance of community, mentorship, and knowing you're not alone How to build a career in UX without letting it consume your identity Notable Quotes: “Your self-worth isn't tied to your job. You're so much more than the work you do.”  “The cringe factor is real, but you just have to post it. Nobody's going to remember it tomorrow.”  “Burnout doesn't happen overnight. It's layers of ignoring your own needs until it's too late.”  Where to Find Dave: LinkedIn YouTube Instagram TikTok

The Luminopia approach allows children to use a VR headset to watch content licensed from Sesame Street and Nickelodeon as a treatment to improve visual acuity by modifying the content presented to each eye.  This FDA-approved VR-based medical treatment is an immersive environment that reduces distraction and enhances engagement so that children are more likely to comply with and complete treatment plans. Scott explains, "We're pioneering a new class of treatments for a variety of visual conditions, and we're starting with a condition called amblyopia, which is more commonly known as Lazy Eye. And it's the number one cause of vision loss in children. And despite that, there hasn't been innovation in this space for a long time. Traditional treatment for amblyopia requires patients to wear glasses and then, in most cases, go through patching, which is exactly what it sounds like. You take an eye patch and stick it on your stronger eye for multiple hours daily." "The product that we've developed, we like to say, allows patients to watch their favorite TV show as a treatment instead of having to wear a patch. The way that it works is that it's a virtual reality-based product. The kids put on a kid-friendly headset and can choose from more than 3,000 episodes of content that we've licensed from partners like Sesame Street and Nickelodeon.   Once the child has chosen a video to watch, we modify how the images are presented to each eye with the goal of rebalancing the input to the brain and getting the brain to use both eyes together properly. We've shown that we can get significant vision improvement just by having patients watch TV for an hour per day." "Certainly compliance is much easier with our product, and that's an important driver of outcomes. So we think that alone is an important advantage over what you could get with patching. The other important thing we've seen in our studies is that we can improve vision even in patients who have been through patching and failed patching. And that's a pretty big chunk of patients. Anywhere from 50% to close to 80% of patients that go through patching are still left with some amount of amblyopia. We've shown that our treatment works even in those patients, and we think it's because we're taking a different mechanism to treat the condition."  #Luminopia #Amblyopia #LazyEye #Healthtech #VRMED luminopia.com Download the transcript here

Liang greeted softly, hoping his voice could bring some warmth.Zh: 梅坐在靠窗的椅子上，眼神淡淡地看着外面的世界。En: Mei sat on a chair by the window, her eyes lightly gazing at the outside world.Zh: 她的房间很简陋，但那里透着一丝落寞的宁静。En: Her room was simple, yet it exuded a sense of desolate tranquility.Zh: “今天是冬至，”梁继续说道，“我带来了几首与冬至有关的古诗，En: "Today is the Winter Solstice," Liang continued, "I've brought some ancient poems related to the Winter Solstice.Zh: 您愿意一起读吗？”En: Would you like to read them together?"Zh: 梅没有立即回答。En: Mei did not respond immediately.Zh: 梁知道，这需要时间。En: Liang knew this would take time.Zh: 他耐心地等着，将书翻到记好的页面。En: He patiently waited, turning the pages to the sections he had marked.Zh: “‘寒梅著花未？小苑凤初翔。'”梁轻轻地念出第一句，期待梅的回应。En: “‘Han mei zhu hua wei? Xiao yuan feng chu xiang.'” Liang recited the first line gently, hoping for a response from Mei.Zh: 梅的眼中似乎有什么东西闪了一下。En: There seemed to be something flickering in her eyes.Zh: 过了一会儿，梅低声说道：“我也喜欢这首诗。”En: After a while, Mei spoke softly, “I like this poem too.”Zh: 她的声音带有一丝柔和。En: Her voice had a touch of softness.Zh: 谈话开始变得轻松，梁感到了鼓励。En: The conversation started to ease, and Liang felt encouraged.Zh: 他们一起讨论诗中的意境。En: They discussed the imagery in the poetry together.Zh: 渐渐地，梅的语言更多了，她开始讲述诗歌如何带给她力量。En: Gradually, Mei spoke more, and she began to share how poetry gave her strength.Zh: 突然，梅停顿了一下，深吸了一口气，然后缓缓地背出了她自己写的诗：En: Suddenly, Mei paused, took a deep breath, and then slowly recited a poem she had written:Zh: “疏影横斜水清浅，岁月荏苒自忘言。En: “Shuying heng xie shui qing qian, suiyue rennan zi wang yan.Zh: 花开花落人孤独，只留雪白映心寒。”En: Hua kai hua luo ren gudu, zhi liu xuebai ying xin han.”Zh: 梁听得入神。En: Liang listened intently.Zh: 他明白这首诗揭示了梅内心的痛苦与孤独。En: He understood that this poem revealed Mei's inner pain and loneliness.Zh: 这个时刻正是他一直等待的突破。En: This moment was the breakthrough he had been waiting for.Zh: “您的诗真美，”梁感慨，“但或许，交流可以让我们的心变得更温暖。”En: "Your poem is truly beautiful," Liang admired, "but perhaps, communication can make our hearts warmer."Zh: 梅望着窗外，眼中有泪光，却也带着解脱。En: Mei gazed out the window, tears glistening in her eyes, yet with a sense of relief.Zh: 她终于愿意打开心扉，和梁聊起过往，那是她一直抗拒去触及的往事。En: She was finally willing to open her heart and talk to Liang about the past, something she had long resisted touching upon.Zh: 随着谈话的深入，梅渐渐放下心中的防备。En: As the conversation deepened, Mei gradually let down her guard.Zh: 两人谈论的不仅是学业或病情，还有梅曾经的教学生涯与所爱的一切。En: They talked not only about academics or illness but also about Mei's former teaching career and all that she loved.Zh: 一天将尽，房间里慢慢恢复了宁静，但这个冬至带来的光亮已驻留在他们心底。En: As the day drew to an end, the room slowly returned to tranquility, but the light brought by this Winter Solstice remained in their hearts.Zh: 最终，梁意识到，只有通过同理心和耐心，才能真正触及他人的内心。En: Ultimately, Liang realized that only through empathy and patience can one truly reach another's heart.Zh: 而梅则开始考虑，或许有一天，她能重新站在讲台上，分享她的爱与智慧。En: Meanwhile, Mei began to consider that perhaps one day, she could stand on the podium again, sharing her love and wisdom.Zh: 窗外寒冷的冬日中，庭院被积雪装点得格外纯洁，美丽。这样的景象，像极了梅心中的一片净土。En: In the cold winter outside, the courtyard was adorned with pure and beautiful snow, resembling a serene place in Mei's heart.

Did you know there is someone who published a MIS Quarterly paper in its inaugural issue in 1977 and has another one forthcoming in 2024? Hard to fathom but has published at least one paper in our top journal in every decade of its existence. Izak has been doing IS scholarship for almost fifty years, which makes him the perfect researcher to talk to about how the field has changed, where it is going, whether we are progressing well, and whether we maintain the optimal balance between social and technical, internal and external views of IS phenomena in our research.

Angesichts der Bedeutung, die Sex für uns und unseren Alltag hat, könnte man meinen, es sei längst alles gründlich erforscht. Tatsächlich aber weiß die Wissenschaft noch immer erstaunlich wenig darüber. Warum löst die Berührung mancher Körperteile sexuelle Gefühle in uns aus, andere jedoch nicht? Und erleben Männer und Frauen diese sexuellen Empfindungen unterschiedlich? Atze und Leon zeigen mit der brandaktuellen Forschung, dass der Unterschied zwischen Frauen und Männern vielleicht gar nicht so groß ist und Freud auf jeden Fall irrte.

Can music teach us how to live? In this interview Evan Rosa invites Daniel Chua—a musicologist, composer at heart, and Professor of Music at the University of Hong Kong—to discuss his latest book, Music & Joy: Lessons on the Good Life.Together they discuss the vastly different ancient and modern approaches to music; the problem with seeing music for consumption and entertainment; the ways different cultures conceive of music and wisdom: from Jewish to Greek to Christian; seeing the disciplined spontaneity of jazz improvisation fitting with both a Confucian perspective on virtue, and Christian newness of incarnation; and finally St. Augustine, the worshipful jubilance of singing in the midst of one's work to find rhythm and joy that is beyond suffering; and a final benediction and blessing for every music lover.Throughout the interview, we'll offer a few segments of the music Daniel discusses, including Beethoven's Opus 132 and the Ode to Joy from Beethoven's 9th symphony, and John Cage's controversial 4'33”—which Daniel recommends we listen to every single day, and which we're going to play during this episode toward the end.Show NotesMusic and Joy: Lessons on the Good Life by Daniel Chua (https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300264210/music-and-joy/)Can music teach us how to live?The emotional relationship we have with musicEveryone identifies with musicHow did you come to love music and write on it?MusicologistThe Sound of Music soundtrack (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeSQLYs2U8X0nTi15MHjMAWim3PxIyEqI)Listening to music at a young ageLove of Beethoven as a childWhat about Beethoven in particular spoke to you?
