We have all faced that situation in a restaurant or at a dinner party: our food has arrived but we find ourselves waiting for others at the table to be served before starting. This long-established norm is the subject of new research co-authored by Bayes Business School, that shows we are more concerned about violating this practice ourselves than we are about others doing so.

A new interdisciplinary study shows that learners are happy to share their learning data at first. But group discussions change this willingness.

Using two decades of longitudinal data, totaling around 750,000 observations, the researchers found self-reported negative effects on job and life satisfaction by people working with AI. But all told they found little evidence that AI adoption has undermined workers' wellbeing on average. 

Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) has launched MusicLab, an international conference dedicated to the study of music scenes, culture and their relationship with the media. The event seeks to consolidate an academic network focused on music research, analysing everything from new artistic expressions to the social and economic challenges affecting the sector.

Many NHS doctors are abandoning a potentially life-saving scanning technique after training because systemic barriers prevent it from becoming part of everyday care, a new study finds. The research, by the Universities of Cambridge and Exeter and Royal Papworth Hospital, identifies six “vicious cycles” that explain why point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) remains underused, even in well-equipped hospitals. The findings respond to mounting concern from national reports and coroners’ Prevention of Future Deaths notices, which have linked POCUS underuse to missed chances to identify and treat conditions like cardiogenic shock, leading to patient deaths which could have been avoided.
