For more than 20 years, CSTE has regularly conducted Epidemiology Capacity Assessments (ECAs) to track the state of our applied epi workforce in state and territorial health departments. These assessments illustrate whator rather, whois needed to respond to emerging health threats, and where were at risk of falling behind. The latest ECA, our eighth overall, was just released and reflects data gathered from JanuaryApril 2024.
Comamonadacae is a family of bacteria often found growing on plastics in water. New study finds a bacterium in this family can break down the plastic for food. Researchers also identified the enzyme the bacterium use to degrade plastic. The discovery opens new possibilities for developing bacteria-based engineering solutions to help clean up difficult-to-remove plastic waste.
Pockets of microbes have been found living within a sealed fracture in 2-billion-year-old rock. The rock was excavated from the Bushveld Igneous Complex in South Africa, an area known for its rich ore deposits. This is the oldest example of living microbes being found within ancient rock so far discovered. The team involved in the study built on its previous work to perfect a technique involving three types of imaging -- infrared spectroscopy, electron microscopy and fluorescent microscopy -- to
According to a new study, colonies of ants began farming fungi when an asteroid struck Earth 66 million years ago. This asteroid impact caused a global mass extinction but also created ideal conditions for fungi to thrive. Innovative ants began cultivating the fungi, creating an evolutionary partnership that became even more tightly intertwined 27 million years ago and continues to this day.

The extinction of hundreds of bird species caused by humans over the last 130,000 years has led to substantial reductions in avian functional diversity -- a measure of the range of different roles and functions that birds undertake within the environment -- and resulted in the loss of approximately 3 billion years of unique evolutionary history, according to a new study.
By Hailey Reiss, specialist, Academic Partnerships, APHL In June 2024, Dana Baker, APHL’s manager of Academic Partnerships , and I had the pleasure of attending the HOSA-Future Health Professionals (HOSA) International Leadership Conference in Houston, Texas. HOSA , a global student-led organization, seeks to empower students of health professions to become leaders through education, collaboration and experience.
Toddlers in the UK obtain nearly half (47%) of their calories from ultra-processed foods (UPFs), and this rises to 59% by the age of seven, according to a new study. The most common UPFs consumed by the toddlers -- who were 21 months when their parents recorded their diets -- were flavored yogurts and wholegrain breakfast cereals, products typically seen as healthy.
Deposits of ice in lunar dust and rock (regolith) are more extensive than previously thought, according to a new analysis of data from NASA's LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) mission. Ice would be a valuable resource for future lunar expeditions. Water could be used for radiation protection and supporting human explorers, or broken into its hydrogen and oxygen components to make rocket fuel, energy, and breathable air.
The Faculty of Public Health has recognised climate change and declining planetary health as the greatest threat to human health we currently face. With a new UK Government setting it’s policy agenda and pledging action on climate change, there has never been a more critical time to advocate for meaningful change and to highlight the role that organisations must play in being part of a sustainable future for our planet.
Government subsidies for business practices and processes should be approached with caution, even when they seem to be environmentally friendly, writes a group of scientists and economists. They argue that subsidies can alter market pressures, leading to unintended consequences that not only perpetuate harmful subsidies over time but also diminish the overall effectiveness of those intended to promote environmental sustainability.
Explore the critical connections between civic engagement, voting, and public health in this interactive webinar. We will dive into how civic health shapes policy outcomes, the role of voting in advancing health equity, and the implications of the 2024 election on public health initiatives. Participants will gain practical tools and strategies to strengthen civic engagement and promote equitable health outcomes in their communities or organizations.
Looking deep into the early universe with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have found something unprecedented: a galaxy with an odd light signature, which they attribute to its gas outshining its stars. Found approximately one billion years after the big bang, galaxy GS-NDG-9422 (9422) may be a missing-link phase of galactic evolution between the universe's first stars and familiar, well-established galaxies.
Human stem cell transplants successfully repaired macular holes in a monkey model, researchers report. After transplantation, the macular holes were closed by continuous filling of the space with retinal tissue.

New HIV infections in India fell 44% and AIDS-related deaths fell 80% between 2010 and 2023, both better than global average; however, 185 Indians were infected each day last year, says UNAIDS director
A total of 47 tigers across two provinces have died since early September; the spread of the highly pathogenic avian influenza to mammals including cows, dogs, cats and even dolphins worldwide has raised concerns about potential human-to-human transmission
