The current war in Iraq saw an alliance between the media and the military, a process called embedded journalism. The aim of this study was to explore whether this process affected the journalists' vulnerability to psychological distress. Eighty-five of 100 journalists approached agreed to participate; 38 (44.7%) were embedded. There were no differences between embedded and unilateral (non-embedded) journalists on demographic measures or in their exposure to traumatic events. Similarly, the two groups did not differ on indices of posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, psychological distress, and substance use. Based on General Health Questionnaire scores, one third of all journalists were psychologically distressed. There is no evidence from the recent war in Iraq suggesting that embedded journalists are at increased risk for psychological problems.

Minimally invasive methods for detecting glucose, cholesterol and hydrogen peroxide are crucial for monitoring the nutritional and health status of humans and animals. The peroxidase mimetic activity by nanozymes is one of the versatile methods for detecting glucose, cholesterol, hydrogen peroxide, and other biomolecules. However, the strict requirement of acidic pH limits their sensing and interfacing ability with natural enzymes.

At the extreme of strong empirical traditions, conversation analysis focuses on studying the interactional organization of ongoing action and identities. My article puts these two inquiries together to explore the broader relevancies of situated talk and evidence the skillfulness of social actors in managing multi-scaled cultural memberships simultaneously.

Problem: The COVID-19 pandemic and the spread of related health misinformation, especially on social media, have highlighted the need for more health care professionals to produce and share accurate health information to improve health and health literacy. Yet, few programs address this problem by training health care professionals in the art of science writing and medical journalism.
Approach: Created in 2011, the Stanford Global Health Media Fellowship aims to train medical students and residents in public communication strategies.
