Crisis response among essential workers and their children during the COVID-19 pandemic

PREVENTIVE MEDICINE, 153.

By: M. Sugg*, J. Runkle n, L. Andersen*, J. Weiser & K. Michael*

author keywords: COVID-19; Mental health; Children of frontline essential workers; Digital interventions; Frontline workers; Essential workers; Crisis response
MeSH headings : Adolescent; COVID-19; Child; Depression / epidemiology; Female; Health Personnel; Humans; Male; Pandemics; SARS-CoV-2; United States / epidemiology
TL;DR: It is found that children of workers, specifically the youngest demographic (13 years old and under), females, and non-conforming youth had a higher risk of crisis events during the COVID-19 pandemic and troubling trends in psychological stress among children of these workers are highlighted.

Estrogenic signaling and sociosexual behavior in wild sex-changing bluehead wrasses, Thalassoma bifasciatum

Prim, J. H., Phillips, M. C., Lamm, M. S., Brady, J., Cabral, I., Durden, S., … Godwin, J. (2021, November 9). JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL ZOOLOGY PART A-ECOLOGICAL AND INTEGRATIVE PHYSIOLOGY.

By: J. Prim n, M. Phillips n, M. Lamm n, J. Brady*, I. Cabral*, S. Durden*, E. Dustin n, A. Hazellief* ...

author keywords: aromatase; estrogen; estrogen receptor; sex change; sociosexual behavior
MeSH headings : Animals; Female; Fishes; Gonads; Male; Perciformes; Sex Determination Processes; Sex Differentiation
TL;DR: Variation in estrogenic signaling across three sexual phenotypes is examined, suggesting alterations in neural estrogen signaling are key regulators of socially-controlled sex change and sexual phenotype differences and the possibility that an inverted-U shaped relationship between neural estrogen and male-typical behaviors is more common than presently appreciated.
