| In the spotlight | Read in-depth coverage of Northwestern faculty work and research. |  From Forbes If you're a knowledge worker, the COVID-19 pandemic has almost certainly meant you have grown all too familiar with tools such as Zoom. The wholesale transition to remote working has, by and large, been successful, with research suggesting that productivity has largely been strong during the pandemic, even if there have been possible consequences for collaboration and innovation.
To a large extent, tools such as Zoom allowed knowledge workers to carry on much as before. A recent study from the Kellogg School of Business explores how things might have differed if the pandemic had struck before such tools were widely available. |
| Trending News | These are the trending topics in the news and on social media that we’re keeping our eyes on this week. If you have a viewpoint or expertise on any of the topics below and you’re willing to talk to reporters about them, email us at media@northwestern.edu. | We're looking for experts on the following topics | Top American officials said Monday a Russian invasion of Ukraine remained imminent amid continued troop movements, propaganda and bellicose language from Moscow, suggesting that prospects are dim for a summit between President Joe Biden and President Vladimir V. Putin in the days ahead. | Over the past few months, Sen. Mitt Romney has quietly pushed for a Republican-friendly version of the expanded child tax credit that he hopes could gain bipartisan support. His proposal would bring back the direct monthly payments many parents used for six months last year to cover the cost of food, clothing and child care before Congress let the tax credit expire. | Federal Reserve Gov. Michelle Bowman says she's open to lifting interest rates by more than the traditional quarter-point at the central bank’s next meeting in March. Bowman's comments came after several officials on Friday pushed back against the idea of a half-point increase in the Fed's benchmark short-term interest rate. The Fed is looking to raise rates as inflation surged to 7.5% in January compared with a year earlier, the biggest increase in four decades. | Major League Baseball's negotiations to salvage opening day resume at a new venue Monday: Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Florida. Colorado Rockies CEO Dick Monfort, chairman of the owners’ labor policy committee, was expected to join a management delegation that includes Deputy Commissioner Dan Halem, the clubs' lead negotiator. | Wanda Sykes, Amy Schumer and Regina Hall will host the upcoming 94th Academy Awards. This is the first time in Oscars’ history that three women have hosted the show, though it’s not the first time more than one person has been enlisted for the job. |
| NU Voices | Read perspectives from Northwestern faculty in national media. |  From Annelise Riles, Meghan Ozaroski, Times Higher Education "Big institutions take time to move. For global partnerships between universities to work, there needs to be a focus on building mutual confidence and buy-in. That means starting small and working up," Riles and Ozaroski write in Times Higher Education. |  From Geraldo L. Cadava, The Atlantic "Understanding this history won’t allow anyone to predict 'the Latino vote' with pinpoint accuracy. But it would at least help free us from the myth that Americans vote according to ahistorical ideas of inherited guilt or innocence. And it should remind us that we are in some way bound to one another — that for better or worse, what it means to be Latino and what it means to be American are intertwined," Cadava writes in The Atlantic. |  From Andrew Koppelman, The Hill "Constitutional theory is abstruse and nerdy. The only reason you should care about it is that, if it is badly done, it can turn America into an oppressive tyranny or a failed state. So it is alarming that the so-called 'common good originalism' propounded by Newsweek opinion editor Josh Hammer is being taken seriously by rightwing intellectuals," Koppelman writes in The Hill. |
