How Newsom’s Reliance on Big Tech in Pandemic Undermines Public Health System
Since the COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020, at least 30 tech and healthcare companies, including Verily and Salesforce, have received lucrative, no-bid government contracts to aid in California’s pandemic response. While on the surface this appears to be helpful,

Engineering Softer Brain Implants
Traditional brain implants are much more rigid than brain tissues and the stress between these structures creates an immunologic response that results in scar tissue formation. To solve this problem, a team of researchers from The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital)

Molecular Markers of Depression
In a recent publication in Molecular Psychiatry, researchers studied gene expression via blood samples of depressed and bipolar patients. By looking at previous literature and the strength of association with mood changes, they narrowed down their initial list to 13

Stopping bleeding saves lives on the battlefield
Hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death for soldiers in combat. Thankfully, a new technology called StatBond, a “visco-liquid hemostatic solution agent”, has been developed that helps stop traumatic bleeding without wound compression. This is especially useful for wounds
