The Quicky

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese recently stood on the floor in federal parliament and apologised to the victims and families of a shocking 1950's and 60's pharmaceutical nightmare. For women who were struggling with morning sickness back then, a drug was being marketed to them as the cure for their nausea. Thalidomide would help ease a rolling tummy but what those mothers didn't know and what the people who manufactured the drug failed to explore, was the impact this drug would have on their unborn children. Today The Quicky team looks into the impacts of thalidomide, and the children who still live with it's devastating consequences today. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

2020 changed the way we work - most businesses had employees working from home throughout the pandemic. But now, some years on from COVID, despite proving that our productivity increased during that time, we find ourselves still facing the discussion about returning to the office.  While some employees are actively fighting the full time return to the CBD, others are embracing the return - but not for the reason you might think.  In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at why people are choosing Friday as the day of choice to be back in the office.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

We all know how it feels after a rough night of tossing and turning only to have your alarm clock go off way too soon.  We now have the technology on our wrists to track our sleep patterns, providing us with data to show exactly how deep, long and restful our sleep is, but what if you're not getting good sleep? We know sleep is one of the most important aspects of a journey to good health, so what damage does a bad nights sleep do to us.  In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at how we can recover from a bad sleep and how to ensure we get the most out of our shut-eye for the rest of 2023.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?
