A global pandemic reshaped the world of work. No one could predict that COVID-19 would dramatically accelerate a shift to remote and hybrid work and alter geographic patterns. In 2017, commissioners observed that inequality between the richest cities and other areas was increasing and that fewer workers were relocating across long distances.

TOKYO (AP) — A growing movement opposing a highly controversial redevelopment of a historic Tokyo park submitted a fresh petition Monday, stepping up a campaign to get the national government to intervene and revise the plan to save more trees and avoid overdevelopment of the metropolitan area. The new petition submitted Monday by Rochelle Kopp, a 'save Jingu Gaien' movement leader, urges the Education Ministry to instruct its affiliate Japan Sports Council to rethink the redevelopment plan and renovate a rugby stadium instead of switching places with a baseball stadium by razing them both and 'obliterating' a forest.

New Haven, Conn. — For many, the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic seems over. However, for patients whose immune systems are compromised by cancer or by cancer therapies, fear of COVID-19 infection and severe disease remains very real. Currently, CDC guidance recommends that immunocompromised patients receive COVID-19 booster shots "as needed." While this flexibility is useful for patients with complex medical conditions, more specific guidance is lacking as to when additional COVID-19 boosting would be most effective.
