SUNY Orange to lead US community colleges in AI healthcare training with $250K state backing
SUNY Orange to lead AI healthcare workforce training across US community colleges SUNY Orange has been awarded $250,000 by the State of New York to establish what is being described as the first of its kind AI and Healthcare Workforce Center in the state. The initiative aims to equip healthcare workers with essential skills to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into their professional roles. The funding, announced at SUNY Orange's Middletown campus, was secured with the support of State Senator James Skoufis (D, Cornwall), who highlighted the significant role community colleges are expected to play in preparing the healthcare workforce for an AI-integrated future. AI expected to shape healthcare education and workforce As reported by the Mid Hudson News, Senator Skoufis emphasised that community colleges, including SUNY Orange, are central to this transformation. 'There are so many healthcare professions and jobs that run through the community college level that are going to be interfacing with AI in one way shape or form,' he said. He added that healthcare professionals must acquire the necessary skills to effectively use AI in their fields. SUNY Orange plans to develop a curriculum that enables healthcare workers, especially those on the frontlines and in mid-level positions, to responsibly engage with AI technologies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo The centre will focus on training workers to understand, question, and utilise AI in real-time clinical settings.

Is ‘bathroom camping' Gen Z's new escape? The viral mental health trend no one saw coming
For generations, the bathroom was a place of quick relief — a functional pause in the day. But for a growing number of Gen Zers, it has become something else entirely: a hiding spot, a sanctuary, and in some cases, a place for psychological recovery . The phenomenon, now viral on TikTok and widely discussed across social platforms, is being dubbed 'bathroom camping.' This curious coping mechanism involves retreating into a restroom — sometimes for hours — not to use the toilet, but to disconnect from the noise of the outside world. Whether in the middle of a party or during an overstimulating day at home, the practice offers a moment of solitude, even if it's behind a locked stall in a public restroom. According to a New York Post report, these self-imposed hideaways are being used for everything from doom-scrolling and music jamming to deep reflection and emotional unwinding. TikTok user @Hendo, whose video on restroom camping has garnered over 135,000 views, calls it a mental reset. 'Every time something gets overstimulating in my life... let me go to the bathroom and let me refresh a little,' he says. Sometimes, he's there for hours — just thinking, alone, in silence. Not Just Weird: Sometimes, It's a Trauma Response What started as quirky internet content has now revealed deeper emotional undercurrents. Many commenters confessed to using bathroom camping as a way to escape anxiety, overstimulation, or even trauma. One user admitted, 'It was the only room I ever felt safe in… so many panic attacks ridden out overnight.' Another recalled hiding in the bathroom as a child during their parents' violent arguments — a makeshift panic room in the chaos of their home. Mental health experts have weighed in on similar behavior. Media psychology specialist Cynthia Vinney, writing for Psycle Health, explained that prolonged time in places like showers or bathrooms can sometimes indicate underlying depression. 'This behavior can be an indication of underlying mental health concerns,' she noted.

While many claim the practice helps them find calm, others argue it comes at a social cost. Some criticize restroom campers for occupying much-needed facilities without using them for their intended purpose. 'I am a person with a small bladder and IBS,' one frustrated commenter wrote. 'If you're not using it and someone knocks, please let us have the room.' Still, the digital age has amplified the need for solitude, and in the absence of private corners in workspaces or social gatherings, the restroom remains the one place where no one questions your presence. It's the modern equivalent of pressing pause on life — behind a closed door with tiled walls and fluorescent lighting. In an era of burnout, social anxiety, and overstimulation, bathroom camping might seem odd at first glance. But for some, it's the only available form of stillness, a break from the noise, and a safe zone to breathe. What may appear to be just another social media trend could, in fact, be a quiet cry for peace — or a sign that we all need better ways to protect our mental well-being in a world that rarely stops moving.

IIT-M and Hyundai's innovation centre seeks to cut production cost of hydrogen fuel
The Hyundai HTWO Innovation Centre, a research and development hub, will seek to develop indigenous technologies to be able to produce and use hydrogen as a green fuel. Once fully functional in two years, the centre will be able to generate hydrogen from biomass and through electrolysis method to be used as green fuel for various uses such as transportation vehicles. The centre is a result of a collaboration between Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL), the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M), and Guidance Tamil Nadu, the State government's nodal agency for investment promotion. Coming up in an area of 65,000 on the IIT-M Discovery Campus in Thaiyur, the innovation centre, being built at a cost of ₹180 crore, is said to be one of the first industry-institute-government collaborative ventures in the field of clean energy in the country. HMIL has pledged ₹100 crore for the project. The design for the centre was unveiled on Tuesday by T.R.B. Rajaa, Minister for Industries, Investment Promotion, and Commerce. He said the venture would seek to reduce the cost of production of hydrogen fuel with the Tamil Nadu government's intervention. He said the government would be able to ensure biomass availability from municipal waste and could tap into the tooling capacity available with the students of the Tamil Nadu Centre of Excellence for Advanced Manufacturing (TANCAM) and the Tamil Nadu Smart and Advanced Manufacturing Centre (TNSAM). Mr. Rajaa said the State government was also in the process of setting up a hydrogen cluster in Thoothukudi, where hydrogen molecules would be produced and shipped out to Singapore through the V.O. Chidambaranar Port for use by Japanese shipping agencies. The port was being 'enabled' for this operation, he added. V. Kamakoti, Director, IIT-M, said the target for the centre should be to demonstrate in two to three years that a hydrogen-fuelled car would be able to drive from Chennai to Kanniyakumari with refuelling facilities along the way. The centre plans to collaborate with micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) to develop low-cost and efficient technology, and set up hydrogen refuelling plants in various parts of the State. Mr. Kamakoti said the generation of hydrogen from biomass will come as a possible mode of income generation for farmers. At present, hydrogen fuel costs $5 per kg and could fuel a vehicle for 20 km to 25 km. The innovation centre seeks to bring the cost down to $2 per kg. The way forward, Mr. Kamakoti said, would be to set up decentralised hydrogen hubs at sites close to the source of renewable energy required to run the plants. Unsoo Kim, Managing Director, HMIL, said the focus of the collaboration was to promote localisation of the entire value chain and build a robust and inclusive hydrogen economy, which supports India's clean energy ambitions. Ashish Lele, director, CSIR National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, Gopalakrishnan C.S., whole-time director and chief manufacturing officer, HMIL, Ashwin Mahalingam, dean (alumni and corporate relations), IIT-M, and Aravind Kumar Chandiran, principal project investigator and associate professor, chemical engineering, IIT-M, spoke.
