Eva Lighthizer was at a dorm party on a Colorado college campus last month when she had to stop early.”I said, ‘I need to get some sleep, I’m going to Portland tomorrow,’ and of course that leads to more questions,” she said. “I’m like, ‘Well, I have a lot of explaining to do.'”When the 20-year-old climate activist isn’t deciding on her major, she’s leaning toward environmental studies, but she’s preparing testimony for the lawsuit against Lighthizer vs. U.S. President Trump. She and 22 other young Americans are accusing the federal government of violating their constitutional rights by passing executive orders…
Expert analysis of the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for dietitians, researchers, and specialists focusing on protein targets, saturated fat limits, and Mediterranean diet benefits.
For hundreds of years, astronomers have studied the night sky to understand the forces that shape the universe. One of the most important yet invisible forces inside the Milky Way is its magnetic field. Now, researchers at the University of Calgary have produced one of the clearest views yet about its hidden structure. “Without a magnetic field, the galaxy would collapse due to gravity,” says Brown, a professor in the University of Calgary’s School of Physics and Astronomy. “We need to know what a galaxy’s magnetic field is like now so we can create accurate models that predict how it…
Recent research published in journals cerebral cortex This suggests that adults who are good at math tend to rely less on brain areas associated with body movement when processing numbers. These findings provide evidence that as people acquire advanced mathematical skills, their brains shift to a more automatic and abstract way of thinking about numbers. Numerical processing relies on multiple mental forms. Scientists describe the linguistic form of number words, the visual form of written numbers, and the semantic form of actual meanings or quantities. In recent years, scientists have proposed that an embodied form also exists, where physical experiences…

USAID cuts leave Democratic Republic of Congo unprepared for Ebola outbreak The Democratic Republic of Congo is in the midst of the third largest Ebola outbreak on record. For years, the United States has sent hundreds of millions of…
World Health Organization officials on Wednesday defended their response to an alarming new Ebola outbreak centered in the Democratic Republic of Congo, after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the agency was “a little slow” in determining the extent of the outbreak. WHO authorities emphasized that their role is to provide technical and operational support to national health authorities, which have the primary responsibility for detecting the spread of the disease under international rules. “We are not replacing national efforts,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press conference. “We just support them.” Referring to the International Health…
Developing new drugs often depends on finding the right molecular building blocks. Some important drugs, including penicillin, rely on small ring-shaped molecules that store large amounts of internal tension. These distorted structures accelerate chemical reactions and help scientists create complex compounds more efficiently. A research team led by Professor Frank Glorias of the Institute of Organic Chemistry at the University of Münster in Germany has introduced a new method to create one of these difficult molecular structures. The method transforms a simple, widely available starting material into a compact, highly tensed molecule known as “hauzan,” named for its shape, which…
Doximity plans to accelerate spending on artificial intelligence this year as it aims to become the leading AI platform for doctors. The health tech company plans to increase spending on research and development and computing, along with further investments in brand marketing and AI-powered peer review capabilities, executives said during a recent earnings call ahead of the company’s fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal 2026 results. The company’s 2027 fiscal year began on April 1. The company plans to expand its clinical AI suite, including ambient note-taking tool Scribe, clinical AI assistant, and medical search engine Ask (formerly DoxGPT). Jeff Tangney, co-founder…
Tarsus Pharmaceuticals has spent the past three years marketing its efforts to overcome the little-known and stigmatized condition of Demodex blepharitis, an eyelid disease caused by mites. Now, the company plans to hire actor and former wrestler John Cena to discuss his condition and use of the Tarsus blepharitis drug Exdenvy. “I have been suffering from redness, itching, and crusting on my eyelids for years, and I believe this is caused by being exposed to bright lights for long periods on set,” Cena said in a statement. “But it finally got to the point where I could no longer ignore…
B-One Medicines has tapped former professional soccer goalkeeper Tim Howard as the face of its first major corporate campaign to highlight how the company is gearing up to ‘save’ lives. Howard, 47, is considered one of the greatest American players of all time and was nicknamed “Secretary of Defense” for his exploits in front of goal. BeOne is currently partnering with Howard on the “One Save Changes Everything” project, which the company told Fierce Pharma Marketing “draws parallels between the savings in the field and the everyday savings in cancer research, clinical care, and surrounding communities.” “We were looking for…
