Going on a job interview is really about answering a series of questions. While many of the questions revolve around what you’ve done and what you can do, some questions are designed to operate on another level, says James Pyle, coauthor of "Control the Conversation: How to Charm, Deflect, and Defend Your Position Through Any Line of Questioning."
“Your resume is a ticket to ride; it gets you in the door,” he says. “That information qualifies you to find out more.

By Kathrine Bjerregaard Nielsen writes:
My phone rings right when I’m about to leave work, as if the person on the other end has been debating the call all day. On the line is a graduate student. At first they are hesitant to talk, but they loosen up when I assure them their question is reasonable and their dilemma is common. The emotion in their voice makes it clear that just going over university guidelines won’t be enough. We talk for about 30 minutes, discussing the details of their research. But I am not the student’s supervisor or academic adviser.

Women are often criticized for their voices in ways men aren’t. Vocal tendencies like upspeak and vocal fry are viewed more negatively when women exhibit them. But rather than focusing on those double standards or trying to change our voices to fit into a particular mold, women should recognize that our voices are one of our strongest assets. We are born with strong, clear, compelling voices.

 Burnout does not always look like a heart attack, high blood pressure or weight gain. It is not only increased stress, loss of sleep or a caffeine requirement. While these physical symptoms may be the easiest to recognize, many of us have figured out ways to incorporate exercise and healthier habits into our routines thereby reducing the physical issues most commonly associated with burnout. In such cases, burnout may show up as a strained relationship, reduced free time or downtime, or daydreams of an off-the-grid escape vacation.

Deep in the bowels of the Scarehouse Pittsburgh’s most extreme haunted attraction, lurk zombies, demons, and a sociologist obsessed with fear. Margee Kerr has been studying fright for over a decade, and her most recent experiment tries to make sense of why so many people willingly place themselves at the mercy of machete-wielding monsters this time of year.

The largest ever database of scientific retractions just went live, and it reveals a promising trend: More and more studies are being pulled from the scientific record.
This is a great thing for science.
A retraction means a journal no longer stands by one of its articles. The process can be initiated by a journal or study author after problems are detected, and it typically involves some kind of investigation, and then a statement explaining why claims in the article are being withdrawn or reversed (though some journals are more forthcoming with details than others).
