College ROI: Higher Education Leads to Significant Earnings Boost, According to a New Study

Coming up with an idea and bringing it to life is truly magical. Every inventor has specific tools they rely on. When I first started trying to license my ideas for new products, I used a sketch pad and crayons to get down my initial concept. When I wanted to refine my work, I had to hire a graphic artist to complete my vision. Times have changed. Today, with the help of A.I., creative people have many more ways of producing a visual of their ideas themselves.

To learn about the best A.I. tools for product developers who are licensing their ideas, I interviewed Courtney Laschkewitsch, host of The Serial Inventing Podcast. Laschkewitsch has licensed numerous ideas onto the market and, full disclosure, is an inventRight coach. Using A.I. helps her pitch more ideas faster.

Break Your Bad Habits Before Starting a New Job - Harvard Business Review

When starting a new job, we inadvertently drag some of our bad habits like procrastination, gossiping, or tardiness to our new job. These could hamper our growth or make us seem unprofessional. To truly start fresh, we have to commit to making some changes. A new job offers an excellent opportunity to break up with the past, leverage and build on our strengths, and chart a new course.

A new job, like a new year, is an opportunity to start fresh and to pursue career advancement opportunities that may have been lacking in your prior position. Maybe your first job ended poorly because you took on an opportunity you thought would be very exciting. Maybe you were stuck with a manager who didn’t care about your development or undermined you. Having chosen, and been chosen by, your employer, you are full of hope (and maybe some anxiety) for what the future holds. You’re ready to begin writing a new chapter.

An Unlikely Source of Greenhouse-Gas Emissions - The Atlantic

Chunks of carbon-rich frozen soil, or permafrost, undergird much of the Arctic tundra. This perpetually frozen layer sequesters carbon from the atmosphere, sometimes storing it for tens of thousands of years beneath the boggy ground.

The frozen soil is insulated by a cool wet blanket of plant litter, moss, and peat. But if that blanket is incinerated by a tundra wildfire, the permafrost becomes vulnerable to thawing. And when permafrost thaws, it releases the ancient carbon, which microbes in the soil then convert into methane—a potent greenhouse gas whose release contributes to climate change and the radical reshaping of northern latitudes across the globe.

Research published last month in Environmental Research Letters, a scientific journal, found that methane hot spots on the tundra are more likely to be found in places where wildfires burned recently. The study focused on Alaska’s largest river delta, the Yukon-Kuskokwim, an area previously identified as emitting large amounts of methane.

A Redacted Past Slowly Emerges - The Atlantic

This year’s winner of the National Book Award for Fiction, Justin Torres’s Blackouts is a complex story about recovering the history of erased and ignored gay lives.

Justin Torres’s debut novel, We the Animals, quickly became a cultural phenomenon when it was published in 2011, the kind of novel that appeared on social-media feeds and celebrity reading lists. The book is a marvel—it is slim and ferocious, and proceeds at a relentless pace, as if exhaled in a single breath. Throughout, its gaze remains fixed on the life of a family in upstate New York that is struggling to remain afloat while contending with poverty, isolation, and other deprivations. The reader can guess what exists beyond the frame of this intimate portrait, the social forces shaping the life of this family, but they can never be sure: Torres’s attention does not waver from this close-up.

His second novel, Blackouts, which was awarded the National Book Award for Fiction yesterday, also focuses on a close bond, this time between two people, a young man and a much older one. But this book is considerably more ambitious, and the relationship at its center serves as a conduit for considering neglected and abandoned stories—especially the ones that tend to get erased by those in power. Blackouts incorporates photographs, scripts, and other literary fragments to reclaim history—particularly queer history—and offers important lessons about how the forgotten past might be recovered and assimilated into an understanding of the present.
