Researchers developed a rating system to evaluate the plausibility of climate model simulations in the IPCC's latest report, and show that models that lead to potentially catastrophic warming are to be taken seriously.
Shedding light on the intersection between forests and health, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has collaborated with the American Psychological Association (APA) and the APA’s Society for Environmental, Population and Conservation Psychology on the first of a three-part series.
A new study from The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) of McGill university, the University of Ottawa and the University of Zaragoza in Spain elaborates on bilingualism's role in cognition, showing increased efficiency of communication between brain regions.
Skin pigmentation may act as a 'sponge' for some medications, potentially influencing the speed with which active drugs reach their intended targets, a pair of scientists report.
Scientists have discovered a low-cost method to significantly reduce this pollution from hydrogen internal combustion engines by improving the efficiency of their catalytic converters. The researchers found that infusing platinum in catalytic converters with a highly porous material called Y zeolites greatly enhances the reactions between nitrogen oxides and hydrogen, converting unhealthful nitrogen oxides into harmless nitrogen gas and water vapor.

When three massive objects meet in space, they influence each other through gravity in ways that evolve unpredictably. In a word: Chaos. That is the conventional understanding. Now, a researcher has discovered that such encounters often avoid chaos and instead follow regular patterns, where one of the objects is quickly expelled from the system. This new insight may prove vital for our understanding of gravitational waves and many other aspects of the universe.
In healthcare, the demand for high-quality, annotated medical images far exceeds supply. Real-world medical images, such as those from MRI, CT scans, or X-rays, are expensive and time-consuming to collect.
Embryo development starts when a single egg cell is fertilized and starts dividing continuously. Initially a chaotic cluster, it gradually evolves into a highly organized structure. Scientists have now provided new insights into the process, emphasizing the critical role of both chaos and order.
The world's freshwater lakes are freezing over for shorter periods of time due to climate change. This shift has major implications for human safety, as well as water quality, biodiversity, and global nutrient cycles.
Lisa (in purple) stands with a team she worked with to collect data on schools during the COVID-19 pandemic. The group is receiving an award from CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen (in red). Gillings alum Lisa Barrios is the first director of the Division of Readiness and Response Science at the CDC. What’s your role in public health? I recently became the first director of the Division of Readiness and Response Science in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Office of Readiness and
Some Florida residents riding out Hurricane Milton as it batters the state have medical needs to account for during the storm, such as dialysis treatment or keeping insulin refrigerated amid power outages. On CBS News, Céline Gounder, editor-at-large for public health at KFF Health News, shared advice on how to prepare before a major weather event.
When lightning cracks on Earth, especially high-energy electrons may fall out of Earth's inner radiation belt, according to a new study -- an electron 'rain' that could threaten satellites, and even humans, in orbit.
The weight loss journey doesn’t end when you hit your goal weight. Instead, you enter the maintenance phase, which can require just as much persistence and dedication to keep the weight off. Michael Lahey, MD, a physician specializing in community health, says Black women, in particular, may have issues maintaining weight loss because of their metabolism speed. “ Studies show that Black women might have a reduced rate at which their bodies burn calories at rest, which makes it difficult for the
Chemists have developed a new chemical reaction that will allow researchers to synthesize selectively the left-handed or right-handed versions of 'mirror molecules' found in nature and assess them for potential use against cancer, infection, depression, inflammation and a host of other conditions.
A new solution deposition process for semiconductors yields high-performing transistors by introducing more defects, counterintuitively. Researchers used these devices to construct high- speed logic circuits and an operational high-resolution inorganic LED display.

They say that hindsight is 20/20, and though the theory of ecological speciation -- which holds that new species emerge in response to ecological changes -- seems to hold in retrospect, it has been difficult to demonstrate experimentally, until now. Biologists have identified a key connection between ecology and speciation in Darwin's finches, famous residents of the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador.
We had so much fun this Public Health Laboratory Appreciation Month!

Time for the annual advice on what to do/not do…this was true 7 years ago and remains so today. 1. Realize you can’t be everywhere and do everything. Prioritize. Thanks for reading Managed Care Matters! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. 2. Leave time for last-minute meeting s and the inevitable chance encounters with old friends and colleagues. 3.

When the MBRACE-UK report for 2019-2021 was published showing a four-fold increase in risk of mortality for pregnant people from Black ethnic groups [1] , the medical establishment reacted promptly and with horror to investigate and tackle this statistic. The death of any pregnant person is a tragedy, but the fact that people from Black ethnic backgrounds are dying at four times the rate of their White counterparts is completely unacceptable.
Americans not yet vaccinated against COVID-19 and those living in rural areas altered their masking behaviors after statewide COVID-19 masking policies were relaxed. Public health messaging that emphasizes the benefits of behavioral prevention methods is crucial to helping to slow the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses. The post Lifting State-Issued COVID-19 Mask Mandates Associated with Decline in Mask Wearing Among Rural and Unvaccinated Americans first appeared on JPHMP Direct.
HOUSTON — It was just after noon on August 26, 2024, when Shiv Srivastava recorded the skyline of Houston’s East End while an industrial flare from TPC Group roared in the distance after power loss. Srivastava is the policy director at Fenceline Watch, an environmental nonprofit based in Houston’s East End. As the cloud of black smoke expanded over the downtown skyline, he worked with Yvette Arellano, Fenceline Watch’s executive director, to research air quality updates to share with community m
Public health, explained: Sign up to receive Healthbeat’s free national newsletter here. When Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance claimed Haitian immigrants had caused infectious-disease rates to “skyrocket” in Springfield, Ohio, local health commissioner Chris Cook checked the records. They showed that in 2023, for example, there were four active tuberculosis cases in Clark County, which includes Springfield, up from three in 2022.
