'Despite ample breast milk around us, money and scientific resources have not been focused on innovation for infants and mothers. We can no longer stand by and accept the notion that formula must be second to breast milk.”
. But for many like Dr. Chaeyoung Shin, breastfeeding or pumping may not be an option. As a woman who may not be able to carry children of her own, let alone breastfeed, Shin is working to close the nutritional gap between breast milk and formula. While ultimately fed is best, and Shin praises all that modern formulas provide for baby , she envisions a future with even better formula, one that can mimic all the benefits of mom’s breast milk.
If you are thinking, why hasn’t anyone done this before? You aren’t alone. In a medical and research field that often ignores the problems women come against, especially mothers, Shin and her team are dedicated to making progress toward solutions that better the lives of parents and their children.

To Make Better Hires, Learn What Predicts SuccessHiring the best talent remains a persistent struggle for many companies. That’s because they are doing it wrong — often looking at the labor pool for carbon copies of people who are already successful in their roles. But that is being too demanding, particularly during a tight labor market. Instead, employers should borrow an approach from baseball, in which top teams track the performance of new hires and then search for the one or two skills or experiences that predicted their future success. For digital journalists, for instance, it might be the social engagement with published articles. To do this, companies must better connect hiring with performance management.

Learning Is a Learned Behavior. Here’s How to Get Better at It.Many people mistakenly believe that people are born learners, or they’re not. However, a growing body of research shows that learning is a learned behavior. Through the deliberate use of dedicated strategies, we can all develop expertise faster and more effectively. There are three practical strategies for this, starting with organization. Effective learning often boils down to a type of project management. In order to develop an area of expertise, we first have to set achievable goals about what we want to learn and then develop strategies to reach those goals. Another practical method is thinking about thinking. Also known as metacognition, this is akin to asking yourself questions like “Do I really get this idea? Could I explain it to a friend?” Finally, reflection is a third practical way to improve your ability to learn. In short, we can all learn to become a better study.
