Marshall pushed to aid physician-owned hospitals. His wife profited from land under them
As Kansas scrambled to combat the pandemic in April, Rep. Roger Marshall signed a letter to top congressional leaders proposing 10 actions to fight COVID-19, including lifting a decade-old ban on new hospitals owned by physicians. Mark Hall, a professor of law and public health at Wake Forest, said it’s more difficult for a small community to sustain both a general hospital and a physician-owned facility compared to a city with a larger population. “It’s very hard for the established community hospital to survive.”

Lists are a source of joy: that’s why it’s time to make one
A Wake Forest study revealed that the power that comes with making lists is all about undermining your mental load. Writing down what you have planned at work but also at home helps you download some of that responsibility on paper (or on the app, if you use your smartphone to write down everything). It also gives you an idea of mental order that helps your brain to relax and proceed step by step, without getting caught up in performance anxiety.

Linda Nielsen, Wake Forest professor of adolescent and educational psychology, appeared as a guest on the “Dads with Daughters” podcast to discuss what she has learned over years of teaching and researching father/daughter relationships. When it comes to money, mental health and men, said Nielson, her research shows that, “the quality of [a daughter’s] relationship with her father has more impact than the quality of her relationship with her mother.”

Without more pandemic aid, renters struggle to keep up
Many renters will do anything to avoid the eviction system, Emily Benfer, a law professor at Wake Forest said, so the moment they receive a notice, they leave. “That’s what starts the crowded living environments,” she said. “That’s what starts the increased contact with others and that inability to social distance.” In the 17 cities tracked by the Eviction Lab, property owners have filed for more than 60,000 evictions during the pandemic. When the CDC moratorium expires at the end of December, Benfer said, “we can expect that evictions will increase to unseen heights.”

Wake Forest scheduling solution using ASSA ABLOY locks to maximize campus space
“Four years ago, Wake’s provost wanted to purchase software that would allow faculty and students to schedule and reserve classroom spaces to provide more efficient use of the facilities we have,” says James Byrd, Wake Forest director of physical security technology and Deacon OneCard. “As a part of that we wanted to install card readers on those classroom doors. That was the driver; how do we get people into classrooms in an organized fashion.”

This basic urge – to look at what we know we probably shouldn’t look at – may even contain a more basic desire to empathize. In his 2012 book “Everyone Loves a Good Train Wreck: Why We Can’t Look Away,” Eric Wilson, an English professor at Wake Forest who specializes in the link between literature and psychology, argued our itch to stare into a horror may be partly about recognizing some primal connection with those who have suffered.
