Hawkins Sr., a site manager for the clinical asset management company Trimedx and the founder of Elevate HTM, a nonprofit elevating awareness of healthcare technology management careers. The following has been edited for length and clarity.I stumbled into a career in healthcare technology management over 30 years ago, and I’m so glad I did.When I graduated from high school in 1990, I had no clue what I wanted to do. So I opened the local college catalog, closed my eyes, and said whatever I touch is what I’m…

[ad_1] Healthcare technology management, or HTM, is a growing field with promising career opportunities — but it’s one that remains under the radar.It ranked 22nd in the US News & World Report’s list of the 100 best jobs of 2025.

[ad_1] Meta is reportedly investing nearly $15 billion in the data-labeling firm Scale AI and taking a 49% stake in the startup, while also bringing on CEO Alexandr Wang to help lead a new “superintelligence” lab within the company. The deal is reminiscent of Meta’s previous large and risky bets, such as its $19 billion acquisition of WhatsApp and its $1 billion Instagram purchase. At the time those mergers closed, many people suggested Meta had grossly overpaid for the platforms — and today’s discourse is no different. There’s no shortage of investors and founders who were left scratching their heads…

[ad_1] With market volatility expected to continue through the summer, investors should consider cushioning their portfolios with income-generating assets, Wells Fargo Investment Institute said in its mid-year outlook. In fact, income generation is one of the firm’s top five portfolio ideas for the rest of 2025. While the Treasury market has been rocky lately, fixed-income assets are offering a steady stream of cash flow, said Tracie McMillion, head of Wells Fargo’s global asset allocation strategy. “Cash coming into a portfolio can be very important to income investors in particular, but it provides all investors with optionality,” she said during a…

[ad_1] A U.S. government website designed to inform the public about vaccines has been defaced and now hosts apparently AI-generated spam. The domain, which belongs to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), appears to have been hosting the same kind of content — mostly gay-themed and LGBTQ+ posts — since at least May 12, according to an archived version of the site. It’s unclear who is responsible for it, or what is the purpose of this defacement other than pushing AI-generated slop spam. Websites hosted on official U.S. government domains have been hijacked in the past to…

[ad_1] Wikipedia has reportedly paused an experiment that used AI to summarize articles on its platform after editors pushed back. Wikipedia announced earlier this month it was going to run the experiment for users who have the Wikipedia browser extension installed and chose to opt in, according to 404 Media. AI-generated summaries appeared at the top of every Wikipedia article with a yellow “unverified” label. Users had to click to expand and read them. Editors almost immediately criticized the pilot, raising concerns that it could damage Wikipedia’s credibility. Often, the problem with AI-generated summaries is that they contain mistakes, the…
