Throughout the years, African Americans have made invaluable contributions to public health. However, these accomplishments often go unrecognized and underreported due to a myriad of reasons, including pervasive systemic racism in the U.S. CSTE and the public health community have a responsibility to understand the historical effect of racism in our field and highlight the people who moved health equity forward despite that.
Researchers have uncovered the first direct evidence that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet shrunk suddenly and dramatically at the end of the Last Ice Age, around eight thousand years ago. The evidence, contained within an ice core, shows that in one location the ice sheet thinned by 450 meters -- that's more than the height of the Empire State Building -- in just under 200 years.
The power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been proven unmatched in recent years. It is no longer a subject of our imagination. AI has become a reality, and it is becoming clearer by the day that it can change the world for the better. But can artificial intelligence help us in enhancing data security?
In this episode of Conversations on Social Work Careers, Your Social Work Career Coach Jennifer Luna interviews Dr. Jonathan Singer. Jonathan is the founder of The Social Work Podcast and was inducted as an NASW Social Work Pioneer® in 2023.
Q fever may not be well known, but it is a bacterial disease that can be a biological threat. Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent, infects sheep, cattle, and other domestic animals and can spread to humans, even when the animals do not show symptoms of the infection! Read more on the GIDEON blog. The post Q-Fever 101: All About This Neglected Zoonotic Disease appeared first on GIDEON.
The SMART Health IT (SMART) team based in Boston Children’s Hospital Computational Health Informatics Program has been a leader in developing new capabilities leveraging the HL7® FHIR® standard. A 2010 Strategic Health IT Advanced Research Project (SHARP) was SMART’s first ONC funding opportunity that led to the creation of the SMART on FHIR application programming interface (API).

Scientists introduce what they call 'simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading' or SHMT. This system doubles computer processing speeds with existing hardware by simultaneously using graphics processing units (GPUs), hardware accelerators for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), or digital signal processing units to process information.
While data analysis may have been reserved for huge corporations with large budgets in the past, today, it’s more accessible than ever before. Whether you’re a one-person operation or the leader of a growing small business, utilizing data analysis is a great way to improve efficiency, boost productivity, and scale to new heights.
Parrot Fever, or psittacosis, mostly affects birds but the disease can spread to humans. This bacterial infection is also a Category B agent of bioterror, according to the US CDC. That’s because it is a zoonotic disease that could be aerosolized and spread far and wide. As a result, public health agencies need to keep an eye on parrot fever outbreaks.
Our brains are 'programmed' to learn more from people we like -- and less from those we dislike. This has been shown by researchers in cognitive neuroscience in a series of experiments.
In a world increasingly reliant on data analytics for decision-making and strategic planning, the importance of data recovery cannot be overstated. Data loss or corruption can have severe consequences, disrupting business operations, compromising valuable insights, and potentially leading to financial losses or reputational damage.
When you find yourself saying “F-that,” consider taking it as an opportunity to incorporate flexibility as a form of self-care. This prioritization will likely mean approaching situations critically, assertively, and creatively.
The story of the Machupo virus is interesting. It rarely spreads from person to person and its biggest outbreaks were in the sixties and localized to a region in Bolivia. Also, effective vector control significantly curbed the spread. But why are we still talking about it? Well, Machupo causes Bolivian Hemorrhagic Fever, a disease with no cure but a high mortality rate.
On this month’s podcast, the National Association of County and City Health Officials ’ (NACCHO) Lauren Mastroberardino, Government Affairs Senior Specialist, gives an update on the FY2024 appropriations negotiations and what to expect from Congress. Later in the program (2:36), Timothy McCall, NACCHO’s Director of Research, was joined by NACCHO staff, Adriane Casalotti, Chief of Government and Public Affairs, and Victoria Van de Vate, Director of Government Affairs, to discuss on the recent rel
Following the arrival of the first farmers in Scandinavia 5,900 years ago, the hunter-gatherer population was wiped out within a few generations, according to a new study. The results, which are contrary to prevailing opinion, are based on DNA analysis of skeletons and teeth found in what is now Denmark.
Blockchain technology has disrupted the financial sector in interesting ways. Therefore, it is no surprise that the market for blockchain in financial services is currently worth over $7 billion and that figure is likely to keep growing in the coming years.
Empowering Social Workers. Please spend Social Work Month with us at The New Social Worker. THANK you for all you do. Follow us all month (March 2024) to celebrate the social work profession and the ways we empower and are empowered.
This one is a working note style. More so than normal:) my working list of why weight loss drugs aren’t the ansa (sorry not terribly well organised) is below. Before you read this, you must read Phil’s New Statesman article on GLP1 agonists. 1. cost. current list price, the annual cost of treatment would be £2275 + clinical time. Opportunity cost ??
Inspired during field work in South Australia's Flinders Ranges, geoscientists have proposed that all-time low volcanic carbon dioxide emissions triggered a 57 million year-long global 'Sturtian' ice age.
The Circumpolar Current works as a regulator of the planet's climate. Its origins were thought to have caused the formation of the permanent ice in Antarctica about 34 million years ago. Now, a study has cast doubt on this theory, and has changed the understanding of how the ice sheet in Antarctic developed in the past, and what this could mean in the future as the planet's climate changes.
A new study has found the immune system in the blood of Alzheimer's patients is epigenetically altered. That means the patients' behavior or environment has caused changes that affect the way their genes work. Many of these altered immune genes are the same ones that increase an individual's risk for Alzheimer's. Scientists now theorize the cause could be a previous viral infection, environmental pollutants or other lifestyle factors and behaviors.
Scientists have found soundwaves from low-intensity focused ultrasound aimed at a place deep in the brain called the insula can reduce both the perception of pain and other effects of pain, such as heart rate changes.
Research involving has shown that a 'swarm' of more than 100 autonomous ground and aerial robots can be supervised by one person without subjecting the individual to an undue workload.
It's an achievement with important implications for scientists studying the brain and working on treatments for a broad range of neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
A drug that binds to allergy-causing antibodies can protect children from dangerous reactions to accidentally eating allergy-triggering foods, a new study found.
Researchers have discovered a change in what scientists already knew about global warming dynamics. It had been widely accepted since the 1950s that global temperature rises were not consistent throughout the day and night, with greater nighttime warming being observed. However, the recent study reveals a shift in dynamics: with greater daytime warming taking place since the 1990s.
A new study shows there is a gender gap between women and men when it comes to exercise. The findings show that women can exercise less often than men, yet receive greater cardiovascular gains.
Fake news works for wallabies and elephants. Herbivores can cause substantial damage to crops or endangered or protected plants, with traditional methods to deter foraging lethal, expensive or ineffective. Biologists are now using aromas from plants naturally repellent with remarkable success to deter the animals.
