A new study led by Yale Cancer Center researchers at Yale School of Medicine titled, "Living Flat: Stories from Women of Color After Mastectomy," explains how cultural factors, spirituality, and personal beliefs play an important role in the lives of women of color after mastectomies.
In 2023, Americans reduced their consumption of electricity and fossil fuels, while increasing consumption of carbon-free energies, according to the most recent energy and carbon flowcharts released by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Each year, LLNL releases these flowcharts to illustrate the nation's consumption and uses of energy, as well as associated CO2 emissions. Overall, Americans consumed slightly less energy (approximately one percent) than in 2022, but – unlike the last time this happened during the COVID pandemic – this decrease did not occur due to an economic downturn. The US gross domestic product actually increased in 2023 by 2.9 percent, indicating that the US economy increased its overall energy efficiency from 2022 to 2023.
While the United States, overall, is actioning on its decarbonization goals, the 2022 flowcharts for the 50 states illustrate more nuanced journeys. After comparing 2022 to 2021 energy data, two trends emerged. First, 11 states consu
By measuring the brain’s electrical signals, researchers in the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology's Cognition and Brain Lab explore how the brain links sensory information to meaning and memory.
The Division of Nutritional Sciences (DNS), housed within the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, has established the “Sharon M. Donovan Pediatric Nutrition Seminar Fund.” With the inaugural seminar scheduled for the spring of 2026, this annual seminar will serve as a platform for bringing world-renowned experts in pediatric nutrition to campus. Through these seminars, DNS aims to highlight emerging concepts and discoveries in pediatric nutrition and foster research collaborations.

Large language models are changing the way that people create and communicate, but they can also change the way we do science. Researchers from Argonne National Laboratory hope to demystify these tools and share how they’re shaping future research.
Baltimore (Oct. 28, 2024) – The Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins Medicine, together with descendants of Henrietta Lacks, broke ground today on the future site of the building named in honor of Mrs. Lacks, the Baltimore County woman whose HeLa cells have contributed to medical advancements around the world.
A new survey from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine reveals that nearly half of Americans use caffeine (49%) or take a nap (48%) to improve alertness when they feel sleepy in the daytime.
A strain of H5N1 avian influenza virus found in a Texas dairy worker who was infected this spring was able to spread among ferrets through the air, although inefficiently, and killed 100% of infected animals in studies University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers performed with the strain earlier this year.The good news: the dairy worker experienced mild symptoms and fully recovered, and the H5N1 strain that infected the worker does not appear to have continued spreading in the wild.
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have developed a breakthrough three-dimensional (3D) printing technique for generating realistic models of the human femur that could make it easier and less expensive to conduct biomechanical research.
Protecting critical systems such as the electrical grid and water treatment plants from cyber-based risks to the supply chain is the focus of a new conference at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
Enrollment in Medicaid was associated with higher risk of death from a central nervous system (CNS) tumor, with an almost two-fold higher risk for young CNS tumor patients enrolled at diagnosis, finds a study from the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis.
