Lots of Americans experience more inflammation in their bodies as they get older, but that doesn't have to be the case.

Jacob Aronoff, a postdoctoral research scholar with the School of Human Evolution and Social Change, spoke to KJZZ about it. https://t.co/EuljnqdBcW

Congrats to Professor Megan Jehn for receiving the 2025 Arizona Public Health Research Award! 🎉

Since 2020, she has led the Student Outbreak Response Team (SORT), training over 400 case investigators to help improve public health.

Today, the UN family mourns the loss of Dr. Jane Goodall.

The scientist, conservationist and UN Messenger of Peace worked tirelessly for our planet and all its inhabitants, leaving an extraordinary legacy for humanity and nature.

Prenatal SARS-COV-2 infection in pregnant women is linked to developmental delays in toddlers:

"At 6 months, 33.3% of infants exhibited cognitive delays, 20% communication delays, and 40% motor delays, increasing to 35.71%, 64.29%, and 57.14% at 24 months, respectively."

During an outbreak, what does “contact tracing” mean?

A newly released disease agnostic practical guideline, helps to strengthen public health responses during outbreaks by defining essential terms.

This guideline kicks in after diagnosis, when the risk of transmission begins. It empowers health workers, governments, and public health officials with the tools to carry out more effective contact tracing.

Built on lessons various outbreaks, it provides clear definitions and strategic recommendations to improve response efforts globally.

Explore the guideline, now available in 6 languages: https://t.co/Mtl1NMx5H3

🚨 Our new paper is out in Science!
We analyzed 2,723 high-coverage whole genomes from Brazilians to explore how five centuries of colonization, forced migration, and admixture have shaped genetic diversity and impacted health.

Our new paper is out in @ScienceMagazine! By exploring the rich genetic diversity of Brazil, we show how fine-scale genomic analyses reveal that this diversity, rooted in Indigenous ancestry and centuries of complex demographic history, plays a key role in population health.

Today, NSF faces proposed budget cuts of more than 50%, threatening the innovation, talent, and global leadership the U.S. has built over decades. To ensure another 75 years of progress, Congress must protect the NSF and invest in America’s scientific future. #SaveNSF
