RYE BROOK, N.Y., March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ A new survey of more than 6,500 U.S. blood cancer patients and survivors reveals that only half are very likely to get a COVID-19 vaccine while one in three is either unlikely or unsure about it. The nationwide survey was a collaboration between The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), Boston University Questrom School of Business and The Behaviouralist, a London-based research consultancy.
The results come despite the serious risks facing blood cancer patients. Some early
studies suggest around half of blood cancer patients hospitalized with COVID-19 will die from the disease.

Accountant and local mom Rebecca Stronck is running for one of two seats on the North Andover School Committee, a campaign she says was ignited by the current COVID-19 crisis and related school closures.
“The seed was planted in my mind when I watched my own children’s academic spirit start to deteriorate under the current method,” Stronck said.
Her children Emily, age 10, and Gabriel, age 8 are in fifth grade and third grade, respectively, and they’re in the district’s hybrid learning model attending school some days and having remote learning on others.
“My children love school. They love to learn. They love to be there,” Stronck said. “Socially, emotionally and academically, they weren’t getting challenged and weren’t getting pushed forward to the extent that we wanted them to be.”

New research from the Indiana University Kelley School of Business shows first evidence that watching and learning from others can help reduce bias and improve decision-making.
Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, used a computer game designed to decrease bias to see if people who watched others play the game could in turn reduce their own bias. Through three experiments, researchers found that watching others solve bias-related problems helped the observers learn about decision biases and improve on their own. Their study showed this observational learning reduced decision biases such as anchoring - or, relying too much on an original bit of information and also improved how the observers take advice.
