Case Western Reserve researchers found hundreds more hair cells across squid bodies than were known, in a study in Current Biology. The team hopes the animals can help explain human hearing loss, a case that so far rests on anatomy mapped in squid.

Physician study splits failed digital rollouts into a data problem and a design problem
Researchers who surveyed 564 physicians found that data quality and system usability shape cognitive load through separate pathways. For leaders who blame a stalled rollout on user resistance, it means testing data and design separately before more money goes to training.

Case Western Reserve researchers mapped hair cells across squid skin and found bundles at the mantle's front edge about a fifth as long as those on the head. The layout suggests squid tune each cell partly by bundle length, as the human ear does for pitch.

Reproductive psychiatrists predict the Clancy case will push generalists out of perinatal care
Writing in STAT, two forensic and reproductive psychiatrists argue that liability fear will drive general psychiatrists and OB-GYNs away from new mothers, a prediction resting on one workforce number and on what trainees have told them.

Four years of Dobbs data: one prediction in four survived contact with the numbers
A physician's post-Dobbs forecasts scored one hit out of four: infant mortality up 5.6% in restrictive states, while maternal deaths, abortion counts and OB-GYN flight refused to cooperate.

Text watermarks land on 2 December. The detection they imply does not.
EU rules require AI firms to mark generated text by 2 December, and vendors will comply. Researchers say light edits strip the marks, so any policy built on detecting them is built on sand.
