What Types of Exercise Do You Need to Reduce Dementia Risk? - The New York Times

One of the main advantages of this database was that it had “very enriched data about the genetics”

researchers analyzed the health information of 501,376 participants who did not have dementia in a British database called UK Biobank to establish links between physical activity and the risk of developing the disease.

One of the major constraints of previous studies was that “the definition of physical activity is quite weak,”

Opinion | Why We Don’t Have a Carbon Tax - The New York Times

That huge array of economists agreed that climate change mitigation should take the form of a carbon tax — a fee levied on businesses and individuals who emit greenhouse gases. This, the letter argued, was the remedy recommended by “sound economic principles.”

an exclusive focus on carbon taxes was “dubious economics and bad political economy.”

it relies on the implicit assumption that the set of available technologies can be taken as given.

Why the CHIPS and Science Act Is a Climate Bill - The Atlantic

the CHIPS Act could direct an estimated $67 billion, or roughly a quarter of its total funding, toward accelerating the growth of zero-carbon industries and conducting climate-relevant research,

What has attracted far less attention is that the law also invests tens of billions of dollars in technologies and new research that matter in the fight against climate change.

hat’s all the more remarkable because the CHIPS Act was passed by large bipartisan majorities, with 41 Republicans and nearly all Democrats supporting it in the House and the Senate.

America’s New Monkeypox Vaccine Strategy Rests on a Single Study - The Atlantic

splitting Jynneos doses into five, and poking them into the skin, rather than into the layer of fat beneath. The FDA issued an emergency-use authorization for the strategy yesterday afternoon.

this decision is based on scant data, and the degree of protection offered by in-skin shots is no guarantee.

Little is known about how Jynneos performs against monkeypox even in its prescribed dosing regimen, the so-called subcutaneous route; the new method, intradermal injection, is a murkier proposition still.
