In the quiet, methodical environment of a microbiology laboratory at West Virginia University, a discovery has been made that bridges a gap in scientific history spanning nearly a century. Corinne Hazel, an environmental microbiology student and Goldwater Scholar, has identified a previously unknown species of fungus that serves as the biological engine behind the potent […]
In a significant advancement for environmental health science, researchers at Emory University have uncovered a critical biological link between air pollution and adverse birth outcomes. The study, published Thursday in the prestigious journal Environmental Science & Technology, suggests that exposure to the microscopic particles found in common air pollution during pregnancy can fundamentally disrupt maternal […]
Tufts University has announced the suspension of its landmark prison reentry program and initiated a comprehensive audit of all its prison-based educational offerings. The decision follows the arrest of a former program participant in connection with a shooting that occurred in Cambridge, Massachusetts, earlier this year. The move has sparked a debate over the balance […]
In the decades since the HIV/AIDS epidemic first emerged as a global health crisis, the medical community has achieved what was once thought impossible: transforming a certain death sentence into a manageable chronic condition. Today, through the rigorous application of antiretroviral therapy (ART), many individuals living with HIV can achieve an "undetectable" viral load, allowing […]
Modern life is defined by its interiority. On average, individuals spend approximately 80% of their lives inside buildings, whether for work, education, or rest. Within these enclosed environments, the quality of the air we breathe is often taken for granted, assumed to be a filtered sanctuary from the elements. However, the reality of indoor air […]
In households across the globe, the act of a caregiver singing a lullaby or humming a melody to a child is a scene as old as humanity itself. Whether it is a soft tune intended to usher in sleep or a playful rhythmic song to elicit a smile, musical interaction between parent and child appears […]
In a laboratory at West Virginia University, a discovery has been made that bridges a decades-old gap in botanical and pharmaceutical science. Corinne Hazel, an environmental microbiology student and Goldwater Scholar, has identified a long-sought-after fungus that resides within morning glory plants—an organism that produces the natural precursors to the semisynthetic drug LSD. The discovery […]
In a significant advancement for the field of oncology, researchers at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center have identified a specific gene that serves as a primary driver in the development of aggressive, treatment-resistant prostate cancer. The discovery not only sheds light on the biological mechanisms that allow cancer cells to evade standard therapies […]
