Article Synopsis
- - Psychological distress is common among university students, leading to poor performance and higher dropout rates, which has increased interest in internet-delivered therapies.
- - A study in New Zealand investigated a five-week internet cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) program offered by a university counseling service to assess its acceptability and effectiveness for addressing anxiety and depression among students.
- - Results showed that 839 students participated, with significant reductions in depression (35%) and anxiety (36%) symptoms, high satisfaction levels (>60%), and less than 10% experiencing symptom worsening, supporting iCBT as a viable option for routine care.
In the past decades, it has been increasingly recognized that some areas of science, such as anthropology, have been plagued by racist, Western-centric, and/or sexist biases. Unfortunately, an acculturation process to racism and sexism has been occurring for generations leading to systemic inequities that will take a long time to disappear. Here, we highlight the existence of current examples of racism, Western-centrism and sexism within: (1) the most popular anatomical atlases used in biological, anthropological and medical education; (2) prominent natural history museums and World Heritage Sites; (3) biological and anthropological scientific research publications; and (4) popular culture and influential children's books and educational materials concerning human biology and evolution.
