Across the U.S., some communities face far higher rates of stomach cancer than others. Yale researchers are examining these disparities in incidence and outcomes, emphasizing what one researcher calls “the urgent need for tailored, community-centered prevention strategies to reduce these gaps.”

The heart and mind are more connected than we think. In a new Q&A, Yale cardiologist Michael Nanna discusses how cardiovascular and cognitive health intersect and how his recent research helps estimate an older adult’s risk of both heart disease and dementia. bit.ly/4nxChoz #Yale

A rare fossil find with a story millions of years in the making. This egg, discovered in the 1930s by a girl on her family ranch in Wyoming, crystallized into a geode roughly 50 million years after it was laid. Learn how it formed and how it eventually found its way to the #Yale Peabody Museum.

Deep under an Italian mountain, the universe gets a bit quieter. A research team including Yale scientists is searching for an extraordinarily rare atomic process — one that could reveal how matter and antimatter relate, and offer new insight into the fundamental laws of physics. #Yale

Even the smallest structures can have a big impact on how life works. A new Yale study shows how cells disassemble their cilia, the tiny antenna-like structures that are removed before division. The findings reveal a possible link to a neurological disorder and point to future therapies. #Yale

A Yale-led national survey on colorectal cancer screening reveals who’s being reached, who’s being missed, and how public health efforts can better meet people where they are. #Yale

Could a restless night be telling you more than you think? Yale researchers have uncovered a link between sleep-related leg movements and diabetes — suggesting that nighttime restlessness may offer early clues for prevention and management.

Teaching and learning the art of writing together. In the first episode of a new series, acclaimed cartoonist and professor Alison Bechdel reflects on the creative process of teaching writing — and one of her students shares what it’s like to develop her craft under Bechdel’s mentorship. #Yale

Aging well means more than living longer. It means living fully. In a Q&A, neuroscientist Miia Kivipelto — inaugural director of Yale School of Nursing’s Center for Aging Well — discusses how research and partnerships inform cognitive health and how daily choices support brain wellness. #Yale

RNA shapes how our genes work — but until now, it’s been hard to study up close. Yale scientists have created a breakthrough imaging tool that maps RNA molecules inside cells and across the human genome, giving researchers a clearer picture of how biology — and disease — unfold. bit.ly/3J0U4Gy

A growing number of doctors are stepping away from medicine and patients may feel it most. A Yale study tracking physicians over a decade found a sharp rise in doctors leaving practice, raising new questions on burnout and access to care. “It all comes back to the patient,” one researcher said.

Happy Halloween! To celebrate, Yale News gathered a few strange, surprising, and delightfully eerie stories — from the gargoyles that watch over courtyards to the monsters tucked away in Sterling Library’s archives. #Yale

Whiteheads, blackheads, breakouts — we’ve all been there. Whether you’re a teen prepping for homecoming or an adult heading to a meeting, few things feel worse than waking up to a breakout. In a Q&A, Yale dermatologist Sara Perkins shares how to treat acne at home — and when to see a professional.

Over the summer, Yale welcomed the first new director of Yale University Press in more than two decades. In a Q&A, Niko Pfund shares thoughts on publishing in the digital age, priorities for the Press, and his (flexible) “one-book-in, one-book-out” rule at home. @yalepress.bsky.social #Yale

During the “tripledemic,” some hospitals overflowed while others had empty beds. A Yale study of 2022 flu, COVID-19, and RSV surges among youth shows how uneven patient loads strained care — and offers ways to better balance hospitals in future crises. #Yale

What happens when class moves to the shoreline? This fall, Yale students in invertebrate biology took their studies to Horse Island — part of Connecticut’s Thimble Islands — exploring marine ecosystems and discovering new ways to learn from nature. #Yale
