3D Printing Reaches the Stars
Michael McConnell
May 15, 2026
If NASA returns astronauts to the moon in 2028 as planned, additive manufacturing will be a reason why.
GOVERNMENT AND ECONOMICS
U.S. Government Now Issuing Tariff Refunds
Michael McConnell
May 14, 2026
The U.S. government has started giving refunds to importers who paid tariffs that the Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional.
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
First-Time Supervisors Are Struggling, But Targeted Leadership Training Can Fix It
Katie Parrish, Vice President of Content, SkillPath
May 14, 2026
Managers shape how workers spend their days—how productive they are and how they feel about their work. That’s why Gallup’s 2025 “State of the Global Workplace” report showing that manager engagement fell from 30% to 27% in 2024 is alarming. Untrained supervisors (and the teams they lead) are most at risk of the impact of a “sink-or-swim” approach.
