Philip O'Keefe, one of Synchron's patients in the SWITCH clinical trial, was the first person in the world to tweet using a BCI device. Synchron announced Thursday that it has acquired a minority equity stake in the German manufacturer Acquandas, which has the unique ability to layer the metals that make up one component of the company's implant. Founded in 2012, Synchron has developed a brain-computer interface, or a BCI, called the Synchron Switch. During initial studies, Synchron has so far implanted six patients in the U.S. and four patients in Australia. Synchron declined to share the specific size of Synchron's stake in Acquandas or the exact number of devices it is producing.

☆ Six Members of My Family Are Hostages in Gaza. Does Anyone Care? - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-11-05 | by ( Alana Zeitchik | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +7 min
I spent the day waiting for news from my family in Israel. I wake up each morning only to remember again my family is being held hostage by terrorists. So maybe you can imagine my surprise the first time I heard my Israeli family called “white colonizers.” When did we become white? Everyone in my large extended family has mobilized alongside me, demanding the safe return of our loved ones and of all the hostages. We’ve been told by the Israel Defense Forces that my family is alive in Gaza, and for now, this gives us a glimmer of hope.

☆ Paternity leave: In Japan, it's four weeks, but men are too afraid to take it
  + stars: | 2023-03-26 | by ( Chris Lau | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
Japanese men are entitled to four weeks of flexible paternity leave, on up to 80% of their salary, under a bill passed by the Japanese parliament in 2021. While it is illegal to discriminate against workers who take maternity and paternity leave in Japan, Iwahashi said workers on fixed-term contracts were particularly vulnerable. And anyway, “A little tweak on paternity leave won’t significantly change a declining birth rate,” he added. He also unveiled a plan aimed at boosting the uptake of paternity leave by encouraging firms to disclose their performance. But he saw a silver lining in encouraging paternity leave.
