This was a randomised controlled trial with two parallel arms designed to compare the efficacy of a remotely-delivered cognitive task intervention (a memory cue followed by playing the computer game "Tetris" with mental rotation instructions) to an active attention placebo control (a cognitive task also involving a digital activity and of the same duration) in reducing intrusive memories of trauma in healthcare workers working during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Standard models of structure formation allow us to predict the cosmic timescales relevant for the onset of star formation and the assembly history of galaxies at high redshifts (z > 10). The strength of the Balmer break represents a well-known diagnostic of the age and star formation history of galaxies, which enables us to compare observations with contemporary simulations – thus shedding light on the predictive power of our current models of star formation in the early universe.
