CSTE is celebrating National Public Health Week 2024 with a series of three blogs recognizing stories of you, the public health professional. First up, meet Tiffany Dimaano and learn how todays NPHW theme, Civic Engagement, was a cornerstone of her CSTE AEF fellowship. Growing up in Texas, CSTE Applied Epidemiology Fellow (AEF) Tiffany Dimaano was far from a lone star.
Task Force employees celebrated The Task Force's 40th anniversary on March 14, 2024. The post Task Force at 40: How our work and culture continue to shape each other appeared first on PHII.
Todays NPHW daily theme is Healthy Neighborhoods. From Ethiopia to New York City to Washington State, AEF fellow Hannah Gorman is always focused on the health of the neighborhood shes currently in. Its easy to draw a connection between Hannah Gorman s favorite childhood book series, Harriet the Spy, and her eventual career in epidemiology. In those stories, Harriet observes her neighborhood, writes down what she sees and takes action based on the data she collects.
Certain RNA molecules in the nerve cells in the brain last a life time without being renewed. Neuroscientists have now demonstrated that this. RNAs are generally short-lived molecules that are constantly reconstructed to adjust to environmental conditions. The research group hopes to decipher the complex aging process of the brain and gain a better understanding of related degenerative diseases.
Write freely. Be your quirky self. Don’t worry that what you say must mean something. Begin with the ordinary. When you start with the small stuff, you discover there is no small stuff.
A fungus devastating frogs and toads on nearly every continent may have an Achilles heel. Scientists have discovered a virus that infects the fungus, and that could be engineered to save the amphibians.
Pinta is a rare infectious disease that causes skin infections and is primarily endemic to parts of Central and South America. However, thanks to globalization and climate change, experts recommend that medical and public health professionals worldwide remain vigilant for signs of pinta. Read more on the GIDEON blog. The post Pinta, the Rare Skin Disease: Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, and More appeared first on GIDEON.
Engineers have created a brain-computer interface that doesn't require calibration for each user, paving the way for widespread clinical applicability.

20th International Congress on Infectious Diseases
APRIL 3, 2024
Each year, more than 3m people around the world lose their lives to infectious diseases. While the demographic profile varies, the burden is felt by those in low and middle income countries. Neglected tropical diseases and under-resourced health systems also add to the impact. Professor Paul Tambyah, President-Elect of the International Society of Infectious diseases, spoke to eNCA.
ChatGPT-4, an artificial intelligence program designed to understand and generate human-like text, outperformed internal medicine residents and attending physicians at two academic medical centers at processing medical data and demonstrating clinical reasoning.
Todays NPHW 2024 theme, New Tools and Innovations, is a great opportunity to highlight CSTEs Data Science Team Training (DSTT) program.Check out a Q&A with two DSTT program participants below! CSTE's Data Science Team Training (DSTT) program is a team-based, on-the job training program to promote data science upskilling. Learners in the 12-month program work collaboratively on a project that addresses a current agency need related to data modernization.
If you didn’t know this about me, I grew up with a lawyer for a mother. From a very early age, I got used to listening to her argue — and many times win — some very tough arguments.
Densely packed, fast-moving stars at the Milky Way's center can collide with each other. New research uses simulations to explore the outcomes of these collisions. Some collisions are more like 'violent high fives' while others are full-on mergers.
Went to a fascinating discussion a few weeks ago on social media as a mental health issue. I recently heard that a stat that of the 114bn posts on TikTok containing mental health information, 80% contain some form of misinformation (I can’t vouch for the accuracy of the stat). SM was designed as a tool to connect us, the actual impact is that it has divided and actively polarized us.
A Message from Executive Director Dr. Vineeta Gupta As the season transitions into Spring, symbolizing renewal and growth across various cultures and contexts, it’s a moment that prompts reflection on themes of change and progression. This period of rejuvenation, often celebrated around the world through various traditions, mirrors the dynamic, resilient, and collaborative spirit we foster here at the Network.
During archaeological excavations in the Schoningen open-cast coal mine in 1994, the discovery of the oldest, remarkably well-preserved hunting weapons known to humanity caused an international sensation. Spears and a double-pointed throwing stick were found lying between animal bones about ten meters below the surface in deposits at a former lakeshore.
Australia could soon see megadroughts that last for more than 20 years, according to new modelling. The researchers' bleak findings are before factoring in human impact on the climate since the Industrial Revolution. According to the scientists, the findings paint a worrying picture of future droughts in Australia that are far worse than anything in recent experience.
The active ingredient in many drugs is what's known as a small molecule: bigger than water, much smaller than an antibody and mainly made of carbon. It's tough, however, to make these molecules if they require a quaternary carbon -- a carbon atom bonded to four other carbon atoms. But now, scientists have uncovered a potential cost-effective way to produce these tricky motifs.
The CHEOPS space telescope is providing new information on the mysterious exoplanet WASP-76b. This ultra-hot giant is characterized by an asymmetry between the amount of light observed on its eastern terminator -- the fictitious line that separates its night side from its day side -- and that observed on its western terminator. This peculiarity is thought to be due to a 'glory', a luminous phenomenon similar to a rainbow, which occurs if the light from the star -- the 'sun' around which the exop
Researchers have used the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument to make the largest 3D map of our universe and world-leading measurements of dark energy, the mysterious cause of its accelerating expansion.
Connecting the study of infectious disease spread, biodiversity loss and climate change could offer win-win-win solutions for planetary health, but a new analysis has uncovered almost no research integrating the three global crises.
A new study is among the first of its kind to separate activity relating to emotion generation from emotion regulation in the human brain. The findings provide new insights that could help inform therapeutic treatments regarding mental health and drug addiction.
Using a blink-and-you'll-miss-it experiment, researchers have discovered that individuals differ widely in the rate at which they perceive visual signals. Some people perceive a rapidly changing visual cue at frequencies that others cannot, which means some access more visual information per timeframe than others. This discovery suggests some people have an innate advantage in certain settings where response time is crucial, such as in ball sports, or in competitive gaming.
Researchers have taken a big step towards securing information against hacking. They have succeeded in using quantum encryption to securely transfer information 100 kilometers via fiber optic cable -- roughly equivalent to the distance between Oxford and London.
