Nope, it’s not the back aches or foot pain. If you can’t concentrate while working at a standing desk, it’s probably because your primal brain is subconsciously making eye-friends with all your coworkers. We have evolved to do this because being attuned to others’ emotions is essential for creating and sustaining social bonds. This process—called the “inter-personal affect transmission”—happens instantaneously and unconsciously whenever we view faces or hear voices. Although this effect allows us to empathize and connect with those around us, being hyper-responsive to the world’s whims isn’t an ideal operating system when it comes to productivity. Being hyper-responsive to the world’s whims isn’t an ideal operating system when it comes to productivity.

A day in the life of Her Majesty
We’re all familiar with the Queen’s public persona – but how much do we know about what she gets up to behind closed doors? She’s extremely disciplined and dedicates swathes of her day to keeping up with current affairs. A creature of habit, she knows exactly what she likes when.

Rise and shine, Your Majesty! 7.30am The Queen starts her day bright and early, with a pot of freshly brewed Earl Grey tea (milk, no sugar), poured from silver pots into a bone china cup and a few biscuits before her breakfast. 8.30am Breakfast with the Duke of Edinburgh is served by a tail-coated footman in the Queen’s private first-floor dining room, which overlooks the beautiful Palace garden. 9am Time for work While many women her age are happily enjoying retirement, the Queen has plenty to keep her busy at her Chippendale desk in her sitting room. 5pm 7.30pm

During my senior year at Santa Clara, I led discussions on medical ethics with students interested in medicine. The purpose of these discussions was two-fold. First, they were created to help bring current ethical issues onto our campus. Note: The cases were not based on specific events. Autonomy Autonomy essentially means "self rule," and it is a patient's most basic right. Case 1: A woman enters the emergency room with stomach pain. Questions for Case 1: Do you believe that the physician's actions can be justified in any way? Case 2: You are a general practitioner and a mother comes into your office with her child who is complaining of flu-like symptoms.
