...make suggestions for improving quality in regular factory-floor meetings. Late last year, Yu Seung Byul, a quality inspector on the assembly line in Hyundai's Asan factory in Korea, invented an improved method for detecting missing bolts and brackets in hard-to-see nooks inside the car frame. He and his managers spent weeks debating how to solve the problem, with no results. Then, says Yu, "I woke up one morning, looked in the bathroom mirror, and realized 'That's it!'" He simply installed a row of mirrors above part of the assembly line to gain a better view...
...true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety." By that criterion, Mydans, 78, made a great photograph in one of his first assignments for LIFE. In the oil town of Freer, Texas, he turned his camera on the restless men loitering before a wood-frame lunchroom.

When John Benda joined Johnson & Johnson 3½ years ago, he was puffing two packs of cigarettes a day and packed 210 puffy pounds on a 6-ft. 1-in. frame. Now the 29-year-old systems analyst no longer smokes, and his scale registers 170 lbs. Though he had intended to stop smoking and lose weight, Benda got started with the help of an extra incentive: a company-sponsored program that rewards employees for taking steps to safeguard health. By attending smoking or stress workshops, exercising for at least 20 minutes, keeping their weight down, wearing seat belts while driving...
...question is not whether women lack an innate ability to succeed and excel in science (that is simply not the case) but whether there are gender-based, neuronal differences in how males and females perceive input, frame scenarios and derive conclusions. If male and female scientists arrive at identical conclusions via similar yet subtly different pathways, it suggests that together we may reach a far greater understanding of any particular problem than through any single-gender effort. In the pursuit of scientific truth, the wealth of knowledge gained through diverse perspectives truly elevates us. I sincerely hope...
