OK, so they may not be the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Cabbage Patch dolls. And parents may shudder at the thought of putting them under the tree this Christmas. But in an industry reeling from two flat years, The Incredible Crash Dummies are one of the bright stars of the holiday season. The result of an improbable venture between a federal government agency, a licensing company and a toymaker, the latest from Tyco Toys could rake in more than $50 million in sales this year-drawing a respectable chunk of the estimated $14 billion that Americans will spend on toys in 1992....

“Women incur greater penalties for ethical transgressions because of persistent gender stereotypes that tend to categorize women as having more communal traits than men, such as being more likable, sensitive and supportive of other,” lead author Nicole Votolato Montgomery of the University of Virginia said in a statement. “Even in leadership settings, women are still expected to be more communal than their male counterparts.” Montgomery and co-authors came to this conclusion following three experiments designed to measure how the gender of the CEO influences people’s perception of the company following a product flaw or ethical failure....

A new study, published on December 14 in the journal Scientific Reports, has assessed the feasibility of using smart devices for continuous fever monitoring. The authors theorize that temperature-sensitive technology could have public health benefits for monitoring everything from COVID-19 to food poisoning. “The potential here is to have a smart, relatively real-time fever detection system that allows public health to start having, essentially, weather radar to see where there are illnesses emerging across the country or across the world,” Benjamin Smarr, the paper’s corresponding author and a professor in the Department of Bioengineering at UC San Diego, tells Verywell....
