Robert F. Kennedy’s war against vaccines has garnered another victory. An outside advisory panel newly reassembled by RFK Jr. has voted today to recommend against people using vaccines containing thimerosal, a once-common ingredient that anti-vaccination advocates have wrongly blamed for causing autism and other health problems. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices met this week to issue several vaccine-related recommendations. In a majority vote, the ACIP recommended against childr

When scientists first sequenced the human genome in 2003, they revealed the full set of DNA instructions that make a person. But we still didn’t know what all those 3 billion genetic letters actually do. Now Google’s DeepMind division says it’s made a leap in trying to understand the code with AlphaGenome, an AI model that predicts what effects small changes in DNA will have on an array of molecular processes, such as whether a gene’s activity will go up or down.

'Sticky thinking' hampers decisions in depression

Though low mood is the best-known symptom of depression, indecisiveness and biased thinking are also common. But these problems, which can lead to delays in making important choices — and being more likely to make poor ones — receive less attention, write the authors of a recent paper in Emotion. Many of the theories that have been put forward to explain difficulties with decision-making are based on work suggesting that depressed people are not as responsive to rewards, or punishments, as thos

In the video game The Last of Us and its spin-off HBO series, humans fight to survive against cordyceps, a parasitic fungus that turns its hosts into zombies. While the infections are wildly dramatized in both the game and the show, these fungi aren’t mere science fiction.

Editor's take: Violent video games have long been blamed as the source of many societal problems. However, an increasing number of studies continue to show that gaming poses no significant threat to society or human health, and the latest adds an interesting new perspective to the ongoing debate.
