Paternity Leave: Traversing the Landscape as Trainee and Faculty

Paternity leave in medical residency.

Traversing the landscape of experimental power ∗

We present an overview of the use of power calculations in experimental economics as well as other disciplines. We review the methodology proposed by the field of economics as well the pitfalls in failing to incorporate power calculations in lab and field experiments. We write this note to further draw attention to the issue, and to make a case that details of power calculations should be repor...

Effective "on-boarding": transitioning from trainee to faculty.

Abstract The transition from trainee to junior faculty member can be both exciting and daunting. However, a paucity of medical literature exists to help guide new faculty in this transition. Therefore, we adapted work from the business management literature on what is referred to as "on-boarding"; effectively integrating and advancing one's position as a new employee. This article outlines stra...

Exploring, tailoring, and traversing the solution landscape of a phase-shaped CARS process.

Pulse shaping techniques are used to improve the selectivity of broadband CARS experiments, and to reject the overwhelming background. Knowledge about the fitness landscape and the capability of tailoring it is crucial for both fundamental insight and performing an efficient optimization of phase shapes. We use an evolutionary algorithm to find the optimal spectral phase of the broadband pump a...

Dangerous dads? Ecological and longitudinal analyses of paternity leave and risk for child injury.

BACKGROUND In 1974, Sweden became the first country to permit fathers to take paid parental leave. Other countries are currently following suit issuing similar laws. While this reform supports the principles of the United Nations convention of the right for children to be with both parents and enshrines the ethos of gender equality, there has been little systematic examination of its potential ...
