“All the collaborative mechanisms and things that make a team a team, rather than four individuals working separately, were damaged by the exposure to rudeness.”

After such a comment, the teams performed significantly worse in the simulated patient emergencies. Their diagnostic skills deteriorated, and so did their technical procedural abilities, from ventilating and resuscitating the artificial babies properly to ordering and giving the right medications. Both doctors and nurses tended to perform worse individually. They also worked less effectively as teams, as far as communicating and helping one another take care of the sick “patient.”

Seagrass meadows, among the most endangered ecosystems on Earth, play an outsize role in the health of the oceans.

The plants also fight disease, it turns out. A team of scientists reported on Thursday that seagrasses can purge pathogens from the ocean that threaten humans and coral reefs alike.

But the meadows are vanishing at a rate of a football field every 30 minutes.

Up to 1 in 2 positive tests could be false, according to the USPSTF’s most recent guidelines.

In high school, he considered becoming an architect but, he later recalled, decided he wanted to be a chemist after taking an experimental course that encouraged “unexpected smells and disruptions of nearby classes,” he wrote in the Annual Review of Microbiology in 1981.

During that suit, Dr. Waksman said that in isolating streptothricin, Dr. Woodruff had contributed “as much as 20 times” more than Dr. Schatz to the later discovery of streptomycin,

“The studies of Albert Schatz in his discovery of streptomycin,” he said, “were dependent on the initial antibiotic demonstration by Boyd Woodruff that one could isolate soil microorganisms, culture them and recover inhibitory compounds from them.”
