Methimazole is the most common antithyroid (thionamide) medication used in cats.
Methimazole is available in tablets and as a transdermal patch. The transdermal patch has fewer side effects than the tablets.
Other side effects may include: hematologic problems, hepatopathy, and self-induced facial excoriations (Stortz, et al., 2004).
The biggest advantage of this medication is that it is inexpensive.
The Behavioral Operations Management Summer Institute for PhD students at the Ross School of Business of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (BOMSI2019). The lead faculty were Ryan Buell (Harvard Business School), Stephen Leider (Ross School of Business, University of Michigan), and Jordan Tong (Wisconsin School of Business, University of Wisconsin-Madison). From the website, "The inaugural Behavioral Operations Management Summer Institute for PhD students will be held June 10-14, 2019, at the University of Michigan, Ross School of Business in partnership with the Center for Value Chain Innovation. The conference is co-sponsored by the business schools at the University of Michigan, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Support for this event is also being provided by Harvard Business School's Technology and Operations Management Unit. The 1-week intensive summer institute is designed to provide PhD students who are interested in behavioral research a solid foundation to conduct behavioral operations management research. Additionally, we hope that the summer institute will encourage collaboration and the creation of a research community among the next generation of researchers. Each day of the institute will include morning and afternoon sessions. Morning sessions will provide a general overview of BOM, review core behavioral economics/psychology topics, and discuss OM applications. Afternoon sessions will be focused more on small groups, practicums (e.g., applying ideas to actual research activity), and roundtables (more informal discussions). There will also be free time to prepare for the next day, have office hours, pair up to work on ideas, and hang out!" Pictures from the sessions taken over the week.
Two Formica ants in trophallaxis (NOT KISSING). They are exchanging nutrients, so that one can keep feeding on yucca sap, and the other can carry food back to the colony for feeding larvae, the queen, and workers that don't leave the nest.

February 22, 2011 - "Insurance Incentives for Improving Healthcare Behavior" - Penn Program on Regulation recently hosted a Risk Regulation Seminar on insurance incentives in the US. The seminar consisted of Professor Tom Baker of Penn Law and Professor Kevin Volpp of the Leonard Davis Institute at the University of Pennsylvania presented their findings from research done on recently published papers. Professor Volpp discussed his findings regarding Section 2705 of the 2010 Patient Protection Affordable Health Care Act, otherwise known as the Safeway amendment. This amendment allows businesses to offer their employees more insurance discounts for healthy behaviors. Volpp's research shows that individual healthy behaviors from employees can, over time, result in large amounts saved on insurance payouts and premiums. Volpp uses the example of a study undertaken with a large company where employees were given financial incentives to quit smoking for prolonged periods of time. The argument is that these financial incentives to reduce risky behaviors eventually save employer's money in down the line insurance payouts for long-term chronic diseases like cardiac disease, cancer, and diabetes. Within Volpp's study, financial incentives were able to increase rates of smoking cessation as compared to a control group. This smoking cessation was estimated to, if maintained, save the company examined approximately $3500 per year through reduction of employee illness, reduced insurance spending, and increased productivity. Afterwards, Professor Baker examined the specific ways that the Affordable Care Act influences the federal government to encourage public and private insurance companies to increasing incentives for healthy behaviors. Kevin Volpp is an Associate Professor of Medicine and Health Care Management as well as the Director of the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics and the Center for Health Incentives at the University of Pennsylvania. Tom Baker is the Deputy Dean and the William Maul Measey Professor of Law and Health at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
