Can behavioural interventions improve biological health outcomes?

Futurum

Most perimenopause research in the US has collected data from non-Latina white women, meaning that women of other races or ethnicities (who are more likely to experience negative sociocultural and environmental factors) are underrepresented in current knowledge about perimenopause health outcomes.

How can data management tools help us discover new treatments for a chronic disease?

Futurum

There is still much we do not know about the disease, and researchers are working hard to learn more about what causes it. ME/CFS can get worse after any activity, whether it is physical or mental. To do this, researchers need access to as much data about ME/ CFS as possible. At times, they cannot get out of bed.

Plant polymers as plastic alternatives

Futurum

His team began its research with the end goal of creating a sustainable and practical alternative to plastic packaging. But our research won’t stop there. The coating can also be recycled with the paperboard, but if it ends up elsewhere, it will naturally degrade with no harmful impact on the ecosystem,” he says.

Can we engineer bacteria to regenerate tissues?

Futurum

Over about two billion years, the genomes and biologies of the two prokaryotic species became interdependent and were optimised to live harmoniously together. He has established this new scientific field of endosymbiont engineering for human health in the hope of improving health outcomes for patients with damaged and diseased tissues.

Educators: We Must Be Champions for Our Trans Students

ED Surge

This comment, and the reluctance of some of my colleagues was surprising to me because our principal had gone to great lengths over many years to create inclusive policies and support for LGBTQIA+ students and staff, and our district designated “championing equity” a primary job responsibility of all employees. But I want them to live.
