When WFH collides with schooling at home the game has to change

PPT (paid pajama time), WFH -  whatever you want to call it - for many of us, it’s the first time we’ve been forced to work outside the office environment.  So, how might we best navigate remote work - and keep our jobs and minds intact? Mark Mortensen is Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD Business school. He’s been researching virtual working for 20 years and he walks us through what he’s learnt about remote collaboration and team dynamics. And to raise the bar even higher, if you have school-aged children in Victoria, you may be experiencing a rising tide of tension in your home as your kids log in to remote learn. And other states, listen up 'cause you may be next! As executive general manager of marketing and sales for MYOB and mother to three kids, Natalie Feehan has navigated an integrated work life for a long time. She shares what’s worked and hasn’t in this brave new world where school, home and work collide. Just don’t mention the cake.

Does the  communitarian nature of modern Germany account for its resilience in the face of pandemic?

Brains old, new, and augmented

Believe it or not … a Formula 1 car can be driven by someone just using their brain. We consider the neurogeneration: people who in the future are likely to be using some kind of brain-powered technology to do their job or to extend their knowledge. But we don’t leave the past behind, there’s also a peek into the brain collection of Cornell University.

When your eyeballs become audible

When some people take a deep breath they can hear air rushing into their lungs. As their lungs expand they can hear their ribs creaking… and their heart beating… and their blood moving. These things happen to people with Superior Canal Dehiscence Syndrome. It's so strange and rare that most doctors haven’t even heard of it, yet it can have a profound impact on a person’s life and mental health. We go into a hospital operating room to learn about this little-known condition. Warning: this episode contains a description of a surgical operation.

A Midsummer Night's Dream

You've probably seen a few versions of Midsummer Night's Dream, if you like going to the theatre. Shakespeare's popular comedy has been played around with by every director under the sun - I've seen a version set in 1950s America, another in rural Korea, where Bottom the Weaver was turned into a grumbling old woman and the role of Puck, the mischievous fairy, split into twins!
