Despite legislation in 19 US states requiring insurers to cover a 12-month supply of contraception, patients aren’t receiving a year’s worth of their prescription; most receive just three months or less. This leaves many patients at an increased risk for unintended pregnancy.

Videoconference fatigue is real, and new research points to one quick fix. It found that video backgrounds leave people feeling more fatigued compared to a static image, blurred image, or no virtual background. People with a nature scene in the background reported the lowest levels of fatigue.

Can you cancel the interview with a candidate if you are 90% sure they are lying on their cv?

Can you cancel the interview with a candidate if you are 90% sure they are lying on their cv?

Have an interview with a candidate, i am absolutely positive the person is lying and is straight up making up the role that they have.

Their achievements are perfect and identical to the job posting but their linkedin job title is completely unrelated to the role and responsibilities that they have on the application. We are talking marketing analytics vs risk modeling.

Is it normal to cancel the interview before it even happens?

Also i worked with the employer and the person claims projects but these projects literally span 2 different departments and I actually know the people in there.

Edit: further clarify, the person is claiming the achievements of 3-4 departments. Very high level but clearly has nothing to show with actual skills specific to the job. My problem is the person lying on the application.

My problem is them not being ethical.

Edit 2: it gets even worse, person claims they are a leading expert and actually teaches the specific job that we do in university. I looked him up in the university, the person does not teach any courses related at all. I am 100% sure they are lying no way another easily verifiable thing is a lie. Especially when its 5+ years.

Can I have a happy life with my low socio-economic status?

Can I have a happy life with my low socio-economic status?

I have read many studies on the sphere of social science and it seems like the end goal of human life is to have a high socio-economic status. Studies are often based on an idea where a researcher compares some variable factor to socio-economic status, as SES is a metric of a successful life.

In order to become successful and happy, is it needed to have high SES?

I define socio-economic status as appreciation and social power within a group of people. But maybe you can define it better, as you are professionals on this

How to get a job abroad?

How to get a job abroad?

I'm an EU citizen and I have 3 years of experience as a data scientist and I have a master's in mathematics.

I have been applying for jobs for quite a while now. Rarely do I apply to jobs in Eastern Europe (where I live), but when I do, I usually get an HR interview. I also get a lot of unsolicited linkedin messages from recruiters in my area as well. So I think my CV/LinkedIn profile is at least halfway decent, although I rewrote my CV three times besides constantly updating .

However, I have probably applied to hundreds of jobs in Western European countries with little to no luck, especially the past 12 months or so. This week I asked somebody I know through an open source repo to refer me to his multinational company in Berlin. Today I got an automated rejection email, so I'm getting hopeless.

How do you even get a job abroad? Do I just have to wait to get more experience? Should I apply for a PhD and make less than what I make now for the next 3 years? Also, is it less hopeless to get a job in the UK or in the US?


Low cognitive ability intensifies the link between social media use and anti-immigrant attitudes. Individuals with higher cognitive abilities were less prone to these negative attitudes, suggesting that cognitive ability may offer protection against emotionally charged narratives on social media.
