University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies announced a new white paper, “Autonomy and Competitive Edge: Mentorship as a Solution,” by Louise Underdahl, Ph.D., doctoral instructor and a research fellow with the University’s Center for Educational and Instructional Technology Research (CEITR), exploring how structured mentoring programs can help organizations address a growing crisis of worker autonomy, reduce burnout and improve retention.  

In a new study from Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and BU’s College of Engineering, researchers used a special microscope called birefringence microscopy (BRM) paired with an automated deep learning algorithm to reliably count and map myelin damage across whole sections of the brain—something not feasible with other techniques. The ability to image and measure damage to myelin will lead to better understanding the patterns and extent that occurs with disease, injury and normal aging.
