Summary

Space tourism company Virgin Galactic logged a successful spaceflight test over the weekend, complete with flips in microgravity and a stock surge to match. Offices are ready to return to normal, and staffing agency Lasalle Network CEO Tom Gimbel says the “new” normal will likely look a lot like the old one. He shares his expectations for hybrid work, as well as the pros and cons of remote work for employees and managers alike. The U.S. may finally be turning a corner in the pandemic; former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb discusses masking for kids, the Covid-19 origin story, and the likelihood of a winter resurgence. Plus, cryptocurrencies are emerging from a hell week, and Phil Mickelson has won the PGA Championship, a victory that makes him the oldest major champion in golf history.
