  Beyond the Stars - The Role of...

  The concept of cosmic expansion is foundational to modern cosmology. It describes the way the universe has been stretching out over time, with galaxies moving away from each other. This phenomenon was first observed in the early 20th century by astronomer Edwin Hubble, who discovered that distant galaxies were receding from the Earth. The further a galaxy was, the faster it seemed to move away. This led to the realization that the universe itself was expanding, not just galaxies moving within a static space. The discovery was groundbreaking because it suggested that the universe had a beginning—a moment when all matter and energy were concentrated in a singular point. This insight laid the groundwork for the Big Bang theory, which proposes that the universe began from an incredibly hot and dense state and has been expanding ever since. 
  Before this discovery, the prevailing belief in astronomy was that the universe was static, neither expanding nor contracting. However, Hubble’s findings, supported by the work of other scientists like Alexander Friedmann and Georges Lemaître, showed that space itself was expanding. This meant that the fabric of the universe was stretching, causing galaxies to drift apart over time. Understanding cosmic expansion was pivotal not only in explaining the universe’s origins but also in forming the basis for further study of its evolution and ultimate fate. 
  At first, scientists believed that the expansion of the universe would eventually slow down due to gravitational pull. This expectation, however, changed with the discovery of dark energy in the late 20th century. Observations of distant supernovae revealed that not only was the universe expanding, but this expansion was actually accelerating. This unexpected acceleration is attributed to dark energy, a mysterious force that permeates space and drives galaxies apart at an ever-increasing rate.

  It’s become increasingly clear that healthcare workplaces are filled with non-inclusive behavior. People who are underrepresented because of their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and identity, disabilities, and other factors regularly face biases and challenges that hold them back from success. These include everything from harassment, dismissive behavior, and lack of credit for their contributions, to pay inequity, extra hurdles to advancement, and more. And while many organizations are looking to address these issues with top-down initiatives, there's also an important role for individuals to play in creating a more inclusive culture via everyday acts of allyship.

  Welcome to A Practice Built on CultureIn an orthodontic practice, great culture is about more than creating a good place for people to work, it can determine the success of the practice. A great workplace culture is one where everyone smiles, is genuinely happy to be there, and works together as a team. It’s clear to anyone entering the practice that something truly amazing is happening, and that amazing feeling translates to excellence in treatment and care.In Smiles Made Here: How Culture Forges Success in an Orthodontic Practice, Dr. Jeremiah Sturgill explains how Sturgill Orthodontics became a practice where team members—and patients—want to be. Using his own journey in building a practice as an example, he shares how other orthodontists can build an amazing culture in their practices by focusing on what matters most: providing excellent care while genuinely caring about people. From a different kind of morning huddle to showing heart in the workplace, coaching the team, understanding the value of autonomy, and creating an environment where people feel safe, Dr. Sturgill shows how focusing on culture can lead to an amazing transformation.In this book, Dr. Sturgill also shares answers to some of the most common questions that patients and parents of young patients often have about treatment, and how culture impacts the care at Sturgill Orthodontics. He talks about when treatment is needed, when to start, the art of the smile, and more. As a specialist in temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ or TMD) and airway protective orthodontics, Dr. Sturgill also shares the important role orthodontics plays in treating problems of the jaw and airway.
