Rafe Pomerance dedicated his life to calling attention to the climate crisis and urging policymakers to take action to limit the worst impacts. Many of us at UCS had the honor of working with him and are deeply saddened to hear of his death.

Join me, Arati Prabhakar, Erica Chenoweth and @ucs.org on June 3 to launch Science Rising, a new initiative to speak out and mobilize scientists and science supporters to protect science and our democracy. This moment calls for something new. Let's show up. Join us at www.sciencerising.org

Researchers explore the role of a gene in controlling how well tamoxifen works in women with breast cancer. Read more in Cancer Today. www.cancertodaymag.org/cancer-talk/...

Cancer Fatigue, the Elephant in the room

A drug currently used to treat late-stage #breastcancer may offer new hope for patients with treatment-resistant #uterinecancer, according to new research from Yale. In a Phase II trial, more than 70% of patients saw tumor shrinkage overall. medicine.yale.edu/cancer/news-...

The history of race-based correction of lung-capacity measures can be traced to a pre–Civil War belief among slave owners. Despite work to show that race-corrected spirometers mask lung-disease severity in Black patients, most U.S. hospitals still use them. Learn more: https://nej.md/3RsGBLv

New flu shot news! Moderna's mRNA shot was ~27% more effective than standard shots in adults 50+. Think of it like this: If 100 people get regular flu shots, 3 will get the flu. With the mRNA shot, only 2 will.

Resident physician Naomi T. Nkinsi, MD, MPH, discusses how race was historically built into clinical formulas for diagnosing kidney disease and how clinicians speaking out about the inequities of care are imparting change. Learn more in episode 1 of Intention to Treat. 👉 https://nej.md/48P6xaa

Fruit and candy flavors fueled the youth vaping epidemic in the first place. Approving them under political pressure...“gold-standard” science or taking gold bribes? Any idea that candy flavors will only be used by adults is lunacy; this will condemn kids to addiction and early disability and death.

The hantavirus outbreak is a stark reminder that hollowing out CDC and walking away from WHO leaves Americans and the world more vulnerable. So far, this disease outbreak is small. The next may not be. That's why we need to rebuild CDC, rejoin WHO, and address disease spillover at the source.

The final episode of a three-part Double Take miniseries on heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) explains the condition and offers practical approaches to managing it as a chronic illness. Watch the full video on YouTube: https://nej.md/4thQUiJ #Endocrinology #Cardiology

Excellent movement forward in treating heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). My type, which is not systolic HF, or the type from taking traztuzumab, even though I took that drug for 13 years. Took adria when early stage as poss cause but HF runs in family. 🫀🤷🏼‍♀️

Even when U.S. funding for HIV programs was slashed, Zambia showed resilience by continuing to run them. Moving toward country ownership of health programs is the right long-term goal, but funding cuts are moving faster than any country can absorb. That gap is costing lives.
