16、teer experience in a Thai school.Crying is generally associated with negative emotions like being sad or frustrated, making this natural emotional state something that many people try to avoid. Yet a new study, which sought to better understand the physiological function of shedding tears, suggests
17、that crying is actually kind of good for you. Specifically, it turns out that crying supports the regulation(调控) of breathing during a stressful event.Sharman headed the research and said crying was previously thought to help humans deal with stressful situations, which led them to testing the idea.
18、 Researchers invited 197 undergraduate students to watch sad videos for 17 minutes. About half of them ended up crying. All of the students then participated in the Cold Pressor Stress Test. Researchers monitored their heart and respiration activity during this stress test.Researchers were surprised
19、 when they found that those who cried were not better able to deal with the stress test than those who did not cry. However, they did come across an unexpected finding: evidence that participants who cried were better able to regulate their breathing.“Firstly, crying doesnt seem to provide any chang

21、arman told PsyPost.However, there are some limitations to the findings. “We dont know if these reactions are typical in real-world settings where you might be crying because of sadness or loss, for example, or if there are differences if someone else is present with you when you cry, ” Sharman said.

However, a number of surprising positives show how virtual conferences are generating
25、a pattern shift in how conferences of the future could look.One of the greatest benefits has been the environment. A recent review showed that the total carbon footprint of the worlds estimated 7.8 million researchers travelling to one conference a year ranges from 3.9 to 15.6 million metric tons, e
26、qual to that of some small nations. In contrast, organizers of two fully virtual conferences in the U.S. estimated that their total carbon emissions were less than 1 percent of a traditional “fly-in” event. Relocating conferences online is also accessible to a larger and more diverse audience. Trave

Such matchmaking apps not only reintroduce the networking opportunities sou

Other conference organizers have been using the ability of online platforms to divide participants into groups to foster more mixing, rather than watching attendees automatically
31、gravitate (被吸引) to big names.Ultimately, in-person and virtual conferences are not interchangeable. Conferences of the future should aim to capture the main strengths of both. An informal survey by Nature showed that 80 percent of 486 respondents believe that some meetings should be held virtually.1
