“The connection between health and productivity at work is intuitively obvious but has not been demonstrated to the satisfaction of either researchers or corporate financial officers. Ronald Kessler and Paul Stang help to bridge the usual gap between research and the marketplace with the help of a top-notch group of the best 'real-world' investigators obtainable-all in the cause of making the case that employee health should be treated as an investment in business performance-thus creating the new discipline of health and productivity management.” WorldShouldRealHelpingCausesCasesGroupsDisciplineCreatingResearchConnectionsPerformancesManagementInvestmentFinancialSatisfactionObviousProductivityTreatedCorporateBridgesEmployeeGapsReal WorldOfficersUsualMarketplaceResearchersInvestigatorsNotchesTop Notch Author:Sean Sullivan
“If we want to make the best products, we also have to invest in the best ideas... Every dollar we invested to map the human genome returned $140 to our economy... Today, our scientists are mapping the human brain to unlock the answers to Alzheimer's... Now is not the time to gut these job-creating investments in science and innovation.

“Despite its potential, the federal government has restricted funding for creating new cell lines - putting the burden of any future research squarely on the shoulders of the private sector. Government's most basic responsibility, however, is the health and welfare of its people, so it has a duty to encourage appropriate scientific investigations that could possibly save the lives of millions.” PeopleGovernmentLinesResponsibilityMillionsDutyCreatingResearchBurdenShouldersDespiteCellsWelfareAppropriateInvestigationFederal GovernmentFundingPrivate Sector Author:Michael Bloomberg
“Even the new feminist research on sex-role socialization and sex differences has sometimes had the unfortunate consequence of creating a new set of stereotypes about what women feel and how women behave. Despite the large amount of overlap between the sexes in most research, the tendency to label and polarize and thus to exaggerate differences remains in much reporting of data, which may, for example, report the mean scores of male and female populations but not the degree of overlap.” FeelsMayMeanSometimesSexDifferencesRolesExampleAmountDegreesCreatingResearchConsequenceFemaleRemainsMalesPopulationFeministTendenciesDespiteDataLabelsBehaveReportsScoreSexismUnfortunateStereotypeSocializationSex Differences Author:Rosabeth Moss Kanter

“We're creating this alliance, GAVI, that has helped buy the vaccines that were in the rich world but not getting to the poor kids, getting a very cheap price and figuring out the cold chain, getting the delivery right, and then funding research for new vaccines. A lot of them are coming along. We've got a meningitis vaccine out, got that through large parts of Africa.
