That said, the ScamWow! might be just what BP is looking for: via The Huffington Post Post from: BlissTree The ScamWow!: Videos That Crack Us Up (Source: Breastfeeding 1-2-3) Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3750026 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 20:25:11 +0100 3750026 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3549566&cid=t_283770_150_f&fid=35777&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FPharmalot%2F%7E3%2FefFVqk0MoTo%2F Late last week, Johnson & Johnson ceo Bill Weldon issued a statement in the form of a JNJBTW blog post in which he offers a mea culpa, of sorts, for the most recent product recall.

Whether you watch TV while cooking dinner, or talk on your phone while browsing through a website, we all do it sometimes and feel fairly comfortable with it. I’d hazard to guess that most of us even think we deal with it pretty well. For things that don’t really matter much, we’re probably right. But multitasking has shown to affect our ability to learn new information. And the more we multitask, the more stressed we generally become. New evidence published this week adds more evidence to the downsides of multitasking, especially if you multitask a lot.
