Pause your scrolling to learn about some big changes that might come to #socialmedia ✋ ⚠️ In a New York Times editorial, Vivek H. Murthy, MD, MBA, drew a comparison between social media use and smoking. ⚠️ Murthy noted that, earlier this year, the Federal Aviation Administration grounded around 170 planes when a door plug came off a Boeing 737 Max 9 while it was in the air. ⚠️ And in February, there was a massive recall of dairy products because of listeria contamination. “Why is it that we have failed to respond to the harms of social media when they are no less urgent or widespread than those posed by unsafe cars, planes or food?” Murthy asked. In this video, Dr. Bahrgava shares her perspective on the call for warning labels. For deeper insights, see the article using the link in our story! 📲
Thank you to our President and CEO, Peter Slack, for kicking off Wyanoke Summer Camp! 😎☀️ Did you know that The Wyanoke Group is actually named after a summer camp? 🏕️ The origin of our name stems from Camp Wyanoke on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. Have you been there? Our founder, Charles B. Slack, attended the camp in the 1940s, and were followed later by our current president and CEO, Peter Slack, in the 1960s. Their experience was impactful (and fun) enough to inspire the family to name our group after it! Today, we celebrate our roots with a company-wide Wyanoke Summer Camp! 🪁
