  Users can log in with a fingerprint, face recognition, or a PIN, making the process

  swift and secure.

  Ernst & Young, known as EY, recently faced backlash after firing dozens of employees
• 6:01
  for cheating during its Ignite Learning Week in May.
• 6:06
  Employees were expected to take online courses for professional development, but those who
• 6:10
  attended multiple courses simultaneously were let go.
• 6:15
  This decision shocked many, as the culture at EY promotes multitasking, with some staff
• 6:21
  even taking two client calls at once.

  The average salary at EY in New York City is over $100,000, with an additional annual

  bonus of $10,000.

  Let's talk science.

  A recent clinical trial by Science Corporation has shown promising results for a retina implant
• 7:48
  designed to improve vision in individuals with severe vision loss.
• 7:54
  The implant has allowed legally blind participants to read text and recognize playing cards.
• 8:00
  Dr. Frank Holes, the trial's scientific coordinator, hailed the findings as a milestone
• 8:06
  for treating age-related macular degeneration, which affects 20 million people in the United
• 8:12
  States.
• 8:13
  The setup includes an implant, a camera on glasses, and a pocket computer.

  Participants showed significant improvements in visual acuity, with results suggesting
• 8:24
  a potential shift from 20-320 vision to 20-200.
