Jason Mutzenberger, executive director of business services for the past nine-plus years at Eden Prairie Schools (EPS), is leaving the district to join the Center for Effective School Operations (CESO), a Minneapolis-based consulting firm that provides operational support services to more than 230 school districts in the U.S. and Canada. CESO announced on Nov. 1 that Mutzenberger will join the company early in 2024 as vice president of finance and operations. “As we continue to grow, Jason will be a key additional leader partnering with our current finance vice president, Lauren Syrup, to provide powerhouse finance support for K-12 districts and higher education organizations,” the LinkedIn announcement said. Mutzenberger joined EPS as executive director of business services in June 2014 after working as director of business services at Inver Grove Heights Community Schools for 17 months, according to his LinkedIn profile. Previously, he was a financial services supervisor for Richfield Public Schools for more than five years. Prior to that, he worked in a variety of accounting roles. He earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from North Dakota State University in 2002. He is certified as a school finance and operations administrator (SFO). Mutzenberger will likely feel at home at

It can be easy to forget that LinkedIn isn’t like other social networks. Every time you visit a profile, it’s reported to the user, and that could inadvertently signal a level of interest that you don’t want to reveal. Perhaps you’re researching job candidates or potential clients and don’t want to tip your hand. Fortunately, LinkedIn lets you choose how your profile viewing appears to others, from your full name and title to entirely anonymous. LinkedIn offers three distinct profile visibility settings: Your name and headline This is the default setting, and it reveals your name, headline, location, and industry. This setting essentially lays bare significant details about you. Private profile characteristics This setting falls into the semi-private category, displaying your job title, industry, and location but not your name or company name. Private Mode This mode only reveals to others that a LinkedIn Member stopped by during your profile visits. The downside to using Private Mode (and Private profile characteristics) is that you won’t see who visits your profile, including visitors whose profile is public, unless you subscribe

An experimental drug can reduce the toxic changes in tau proteins known to damage neurons in brains with Alzheimer’s disease, researchers from Yale School of Medicine and Johns Hopkins University report. While much research related to Alzheimer’s disease has concentrated on identifying ways to reduce the buildup of amyloid plaques — which form when sticky protein fragments known as amyloid beta collect in the brain — the new study focuses on slowing harmful changes in a molecule called tau, which can lead to tangles and neuronal degeneration. In particular, the phosphorylation of tau, in which phosphate groups are added to the tau peptide, is a key early event that triggers neurological damage, the researchers found. The research suggests that inflammatory processes in the aging brain contribute to the phosphorylation of tau in the common, late-onset form of Alzheimer’s disease. “We were able to reduce the phosphorylation of tau by restoring regulatory actions that are lost with age and inflammation,” said senior author Amy Arnsten, the Albert E. Kent Professor of Neuroscience at Yale School of Medicine and professor of neurobiology and psychology in Yale’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences. “The mechanism of protection is different from other approaches undertaken so

LinkedIn, on Wednesday, introduced its new AI-powered chatbot to its premium users. The chatbot, designed to guide job seekers, is built on OpenAI's GPT-4. The purpose of this AI-driven tool is to assess the suitability of a job application for a user, based on their profile and experience. I originally reported on the development of the chatbot in July, and LinkedIn is now ready to introduce the AI to its user base.  Assessing Job Suitability and Enhancing User Experience To initiate a conversation with the chatbot, users have to go to a job posting and opt for question prompts such as “Am I a good fit for this job?” or “How can I best position myself for this job?” After examining the user's profile and experience, the chatbot offers responses like “Your profile indicates that you possess significant experience in marketing and event planning, which is suitable for this role.” To enhance this AI chatbot experience, LinkedIn's engineers minimized the latency related to inquiries. Erran Berger, LinkedIn's Vice President of Product Engineering, told CNBC, “To make this a snappy experience, we had to create a lot on our end. These chatbot experiences are alike to searches–we anticipate immediate responses, and

In the spirit of Halloween, it seems fitting to share some of the LinkedIn nightmares I've witnessed over the years. As someone who trains others on LinkedIn best practices and uses LinkedIn myself to build my own network and brand, I’ve seen my fair share of LinkedIn faux pas that can send chills down your spine and, more importantly, undermine your personal branding and business development efforts. Let’s go on an eerie journey together, and I’ll provide some tips on how to avoid these common pitfalls, no matter the season. The Ghost of Bragging Past: We’ve all seen those posts that scream self-praise. You know, the ones that start with “honored and humbled” but somehow manage to come off as anything but humble. It’s a tricky balance to strike, sharing your achievements without appearing boastful. My advice? Focus on how your experiences can help others. Share your journey, the challenges you faced and how you overcame them. It’s about all about showing, not telling. The Phantom Taggers: Then there are the phantom taggers, casting their wide net of mass tags in hopes of garnering more attention. But beware, this tactic can quickly turn from clever to calamitous, as it often

X’s Elon Musk talks about several new X features on leaked call. Photo by Leon Neal/Getty Images At the X all-hands meeting last week (Oct. 26), owner Elon Musk and CEO Linda Yaccarino listed all of the features they plan to offer on X (formerly Twitter) to make it an “everything app,” from banking and hiring services to 4K livestream capabilities. The X executives said they would start to broadcast these internal meetings to the public every quarter via livestream. According to a transcript of the meeting published by The Verge yesterday (Oct. 31), Musk and Yaccarino mentioned YouTube, LinkedIn, and PayPal—which originated from Musk’s fintech startup, X.com in the 1990s—among the competitors they’d like to replace. Outside competing with social networking sites and financial services, Musk also talked about X’s new audio and video call capabilities and encrypted direct messaging, all made to replace FaceTime and Signal.  Here are the top takeaways from the all-hands: Turning X into an online bank comes from Musk’s vision for PayPal more than 20 years ago. Musk said his plans for X.com, the precursor of PayPal, weren’t fulfilled when he sold the company to eBay in 2002. X.com was an online bank cofounded by

Ticker LinkedIn privacy comes under the employment microscope News Published 2 hours agoon November 1, 2023 The implementation of Do-Not-Track (DNT) measures is poised to significantly impact LinkedIn’s privacy landscape. DNT, a browser setting designed to protect users’ online privacy by blocking web tracking activities. LinkedIn, a professional networking platform, relies on user data for various purposes, including targeted advertising and personalised content. With the new DNT policy, the platform faces potential challenges in maintaining its current level of data collection, posing questions about the future of user privacy awareness. This decision comes as part of broader efforts to empower individuals with greater control over their online data and privacy. However, it raises concerns within LinkedIn’s business model, which depends on user data for revenue generation. Industry experts are divided on the implications of this ruling. While some argue that it will enhance user privacy and transparency, others fear it may hinder LinkedIn’s ability to provide tailored services. Users are urged to stay informed about these developments and review their privacy settings accordingly. #featured News Executive orders on AI security Published 1 hour agoon November 1, 2023 President Biden has issued an executive order to advance the realm of artificial
