Cryptococcus gattii
Strange Fungi Now Stalk Healthy People A strange fungal disease in Canada and the U.S. heralds a new threat to human health By Jennifer Frazer In 2001 dead porpoises with yeast-packed lungs washed up on the southeastern shore of Vancouver Island in British Columbia. The bloated organs were several times normal weight, with barely any room for air. The island's veterinarians had never seen anything like it. Cats and dogs there were having trouble breathing, too. In cats, the disease could cause a particularly gruesome symptom: weeping holes, produced when a yeast infection ate its wa... mais »

Are We Alone in the Universe?By PAUL DAVIESPublished: November 18, 2013 10 Comments — THE recent announcement by a team of astronomers that there could be as many as 40 billion habitable planets in our galaxy has further fueled the speculation, popular even among many distinguished scientists, that the universe is teeming with life. The astronomer Geoffrey W. Marcy of the University of California, Berkeley, an experienced planet hunter and co-author of the study that generated the finding, said that it “represents one great leap toward the possibility of life, including intelligent ... mais »

Positive Emotion
HeadCon '13: Part II [Video designed for full screen viewing. Click icon in video image to expand.] The Scientific Study of Positive Emotion *What I'm really interested in is the science of human emotion. In particular, what's captivated my field and my interest the most is trying to understand positive emotions. Not only the ways in which perhaps we think they're beneficial for us or confer some sort of adaptive value, but actually the ways in which they may signal dysfunction and may not actually, in all circumstances and in all intensities, be good for us.* *I thought I'd first st... mais »

His ‘fetal programming hypothesis’ (‘Barker Hypothesis’) transformed our thinking about the causes of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. He challenged the idea that they are explained by bad genes and unhealthy adult lifestyles, and proposed that their roots lie in the early life environment: “the nourishment a baby receives from its mother, and its exposure... mais »

Doctors need to be human first
Doctors need to remember that they need to be human first DAVID L. KATZ, MD | EDUCATION | NOVEMBER 14, 2013 In medicine, we pledge: *primum non nocere*. First, do no harm. But before we can do no harm as doctors, we need to be doctors. And before we can be doctors, we need to be human beings. Being a doctor is a great privilege, but it is a subordinate privilege. Being human comes first. I distinctly recall the time in my medical education when I realized I was becoming more medical and less human. The process of learning how to conduct a complete history and physical had so taken over... mais »
Humanism
The Humanist VocationBy DAVID BROOKSPublished: June 20, 2013 444 Comments A half-century ago, 14 percent of college degrees were awarded to people who majored in the humanities. Today, only 7 percent of graduates in the country are humanities majors. Even over the last decade alone, the number of incoming students at Harvard who express interest in becoming humanities majors has dropped by a third. Josh Haner/The New York Times David Brook Most people give an economic explanation for this decline. Accounting majors get jobs. Lit majors don’t. And there’s obviously some truth to th... mais »
