Fierce Healthcare
Noise pollution in hospitals is considered an under-the-radar threat to patient safety, but experts are working to design the hospital of the future — a silent one.
A growing movement brings together experts both within and outside of healthcare, from hospital leaders to acousticians and even musicians, according to Quartz. The team works to reduce noise levels wherever possible, thinking outside the box in many cases.

A trot through the 325-room Arlo Hudson Square — a new hotel at 231 Hudson St. — leads guests past all the trappings of a highly styled downtown stay.
A courtyard stands between a chic bar, a wood-accented lounge and a new restaurant by chef Harold Moore that's adorned with mod-style decor.
They're sleek amenities and the hotel has snazzy rooms to match. But what makes these guest quarters really stand out is their size.

Those traditional bathroom icons that adorn the signs of public restrooms — an outline of a man and a skirted woman — may seem innocuous enough. But to transgender or nonconforming individuals, they force an often uncomfortable and difficult choice every time they have to go to the bathroom in a public space. In a larger sense, they reinforce a binary gender system with only two choices — male or female — automatically labeling people who complicate that notion of identity as "other."

We made our way from D.C. to San Francisco a few weeks ago to host our latest TALK at Zendesk's cutting-edge HQ. We knew it was going to be cool — the 75,000 square foot office has been featured extensively on our site and in other publications — but in person, it exceeded expectations, and so did the panelists. While each one is a workplace expert independently of one another and of this project, and thus was able to speak about the TALK topic generally, each also had a hand in creating this Zendesk space.
