The world has learned that when only a few places can make vaccines, shortages and delays become inevitable. The COVID‑19 crisis showed that a single, concentrated production model can leave many countries behind when a new disease strikes. In response, a group of 32 research and public health
The new vacuum from Bissell promises to make life easier for people with pets. It has two brush rolls inside one machine, so it can pick up big crumbs and tiny hair at the same time. This means you don’t have to switch tools or go over a spot twice. The machine also has a special filter that trap

Research funding for some of the nation's leading universities has hit unexpected roadblocks recently. Schools like Harvard, Duke, Princeton, and Yale reported that grant applications which had already cleared internal reviews received extra layers of examination without clear reasoning. The Nationa
When someone breaks their back in a bad fall or car crash, doctors have two main ways to help: either perform surgery to fix the bones or let the body heal itself with bracing and rest. A recent study looked at people with specific types of spine injuries called A3 and A4 thoracolumbar burst fractur
Science claims to be all about facts. But when it comes to race and health, some old ideas keep sneaking back in.
