KU seeks funds for new medical education building in Kansas
Stites compares simulation training to aviation pilot programs to reduce errors and argues for a new medical education building at KU to expand Kansas City campus class size from 120 to 160. The plan asks for $30 million in bonds, $26 million FICA refund, $22 million fundraising, and $3 million for Wichita campus improvements amid a tight higher education budget outlook. Kansas faces a physician workforce exodus with 60 percent potentially leaving by 2030, while neighboring states have invested in new facilities.

Teachers testify dilemma fuels school efficiency task force
An email reveals Governor Brownback’s efficiency panel declined a KNEA request for teachers to testify, preferring written submissions from classroom staff. Educators warn tax cuts threaten funding, citing larger classes, fewer counselors and librarians, and reduced professional development across Kansas schools. Brownback aims to shift funds to classroom instruction while committees consider shared resources and procurement, amid controversy over the task force’s makeup.

New British Method Detects Dead Hearing Cell Regions
A British developed procedure using standard test equipment identifies dead regions in the ear. The study links the presence of dead cells to poorer speech understanding in noise and cautions against amplifying dead regions. A digitally programmable microcircuit using nanoscience bypasses dead cells to amplify usable cells, improving speech understanding in noise. Nuclear Hearing introduces compact digital models across shell sizes.
