While people in many industries were able to start working from home during the pandemic, recouping their travel time, nearly half of U.S. workers kept devoting a good chunk of their day \u2014 sometimes an hour or more \u2014 to being in transit.\u0026nbsp;Pandemic-era commuting has widened several divides: between those who can work remotely and those who can\u2019t, and between those who drive and those who use public transportation. The decrease in travel by those able to work remotely has changed the nature of commutes for everyone else \u2014 streamlining rush-hour traffic, for example, but making trains run less often. This examination of how commutes have changed over the last three years includes comments from \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/psychology.gatech.edu\/christopher-w-wiese\u0022\u003EChristopher Wiese\u003C\/a\u003E, assistant professor in the \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/psychology.gatech.edu\u0022\u003ESchool of Psychology\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"34434","created_gmt":"2023-11-06 14:07:35","changed_gmt":"2023-11-06 14:07:35","author":"Renay San Miguel","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","publication":"The New York Times","field_article_url":"","publication_url":"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2023\/11\/06\/business\/economy\/commuting-change-covid.html","dateline":{"date":"2023-11-06T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2023-11-06T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1278","name":"College of Sciences"},{"id":"443951","name":"School of Psychology"}],"categories":[{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"}],"keywords":[{"id":"4896","name":"College of Sciences"},{"id":"167710","name":"School of Psychology"},{"id":"193240","name":"Christopher Wiese"},{"id":"176911","name":"organizational psychology"},{"id":"180","name":"commute"},{"id":"190847","name":"work from home"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"670877":{"#nid":"670877","#data":{"type":"external_news","title":"To Wear the Sudoku Crown, One Must Solve Any Number of Puzzles","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EOn a mid-October Monday, shortly before 9 a.m., 179 elite puzzlers made their way into the ballroom of a Toronto hotel and found their allocated seats for the World Sudoku and Puzzle Championships.\u0026nbsp;The annual championship event comprises two days of Sudoku, followed by three days of other types of pencil-and-paper logic puzzles.\u0026nbsp;Although puzzlers qualify for the event on a national level, most attend just for fun and for the community \u2014 to revel with people who share in the same nerdy delight.\u0026nbsp;The top solvers are also there to win.

In the simplest model, which considers only the gravitational forces exerted by the sun, the planets follow their elliptical orbits like clockwork for eternity. But once you account for gravitational attraction between the planets themselves, everything gets more complicated. You can no longer explicitly calculate the planets\u2019 positions and velocities over long periods of time, and must instead ask qualitative questions about how they might behave. Might the effects of the planets\u2019 mutual attraction accumulate and break the clockwork?

Areas of low oxygen, oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) and anoxic marine zones (AMZs), are predicted to increase in both expanse and frequency in response to climate warming and human modifications of coastal zones.\u0026nbsp;Global warming is causing oxygen-deficient waters to expand and intensify. Therefore, studies focused on microbial communities inhabiting oxygen-deficient regions are necessary to both monitor and model the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystem functions and services.

Researchers need accurate descriptions of protein-protein interactions to understand molecular biosystems, but obtaining such descriptions is very challenging, especially for theoretical approaches. Generalizing AlphaFold 2, a powerful deep learning algorithm for predicting protein structures from sequence, researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology and Oak Ridge National Laboratory proposed a computational approach, AF2Complex, to not only predict the atomic structural models of interacting proteins, but also to predict whether multiple proteins interact, even if they experience transient interactions that are difficult to capture experimentally.
