Dynamic reading in a digital age: new insights on cognition
Trends Cogn Sci. 2023 Sep 9:S1364-6613(23)00198-5. doi: 10.1016/j.tics.2023.08.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeople increasingly read text displayed on digital devices, including computers, handheld e-readers, and smartphones. Given this, there is rapidly growing interest in understanding how the cognitive processes that support the reading of static text (e.g., books, magazines, or newspapers) might be adapted to reading digital texts. Evidence from recent experiments suggests a complex interplay of visual and cognitive influences on how people engage with digital reading. Although readers can strategically adjust th...

What Are Common Vascular Rings and Slings?
Discussion Vascular rings and slings are not that common a congenital heart problem (about 1% of all congenital heart defects), but do occur and arise from abnormal embryological development of the major vascular structures.

The aortic arches with their paired branches then course into the pharyngeal arches. Initially these aortic/pharyngeal arches have symmetric vascular pairs, but as development progresses they become asymmetric (basically du...

Trends and Sources of Crime Guns in California: 2010 –2021
In this study, we assemble a unique dataset that combines records for over 380,000 crime guns recovered by law enforcement in California (2010 –2021), and more than 126,000 guns reported stolen, linked to in-state legal handgun transactions (1996–2021), to describe local and statewide crime gun trends and investigate several potentially important sources of guns to criminals, including privately manufactured firearms (PMFs), theft, and “dirty” dealers. We document a dramatic increase over the decade in firearms recovered shortly after purchase (7% were recovered within a year in 2010, up to 33% in 2021). This corre...

His friend ’s murder rocked Hua Hsu’s life – and made him the person he is today
Decades after the senseless killing of his friend, the author and journalist finally feels a sense of peaceDays after Ken was murdered, in the summer of 1998, the then-21-year-old Hua Hsu went out into the California sunshine and bought a journal. Everything is wrong, he scrawled in permanent black marker across the first page – because everything was. Laughter distressed him. Pop harmonies were unlistenable. He even shaved off his hair with clippers. For some time after his friend’s savage killing, Hsu’s relationship to most things, including writing itself, changed beyond all recognition.“I think for a long time ...
