Another New Player in the Thymus Regeneration Space
It seems there is ever more enthusiasm for regenerating the thymus these days, which is welcome. A number of companies are out there pursuing widely divergent scientific programs to achieve this goal, at varying stages of progress towards the clinic. At some point, someone will figure out an optimal path past the various challenges presented by the location and biology of the thymus to produce a large regrowth of this organ in older individuals. The company noted here, Thymmune Therapeutics, is taking the cell therapy approach, which I think to be one of the more viable options, given that a few cell types have been shown ...

Friday Feature: Hillsdale College K –12 Initiatives
Colleen HroncichWhen we first started homeschooling, one of the most amazing resources I found was a K –12 curriculum guide from Hillsdale Academy, a private classical Christian school owned and operated byHillsdale College. It provided book lists for each subject along with a detailed weekly plan to help you map out the year. It was designed for K –12 schools, but it was a helpful guide as we took our baby steps in homeschooling. And it was free, which was an added blessing. Little did I know at the time that Hillsdale would eventually become a leader in both public and privateK –1...

Let ’ s Do Public Health Better
BY KIM BELLARD
Eric Reinhart, who describes himself as “a political anthropologist, psychoanalyst, and physician,” has had a busy month. He started with an essay in NEJM about “reconstructive justice,” then an op-ed in The New York Times on how our health care system is demoralizing the physicians who work in it, and then the two that caught my attention: companion pieces in The Nation and Stat News about reforming our public health “system” from a physician-driven one to a true community health one.
He’s preaching to my choir. I wrote almost five years ago: “We need to stop viewing public healt...

Sunday Sermonette: The distaff
In Chapter 22, a woman becomes the first (and last) queen of Israel. She accomplishes this by nefarious means and oesn ' t last long, but it prompted me to reflect on female characters in the Tanakh. It ' s a patriarchal society, obviously. Notable female characters are relatively scarce, and fewer still have much agency. Eve ' s only role in the plot is to succumb to the serpent ' s wiles and have three children, one of whom goes off to the land of Nod and finds a wife -- evidently somebody else was having his own creation there. Sarah is just Abraham ' s incestuous wife and half sister, who goes along for the ride. Lot '...

From studying to baby kicks: Navigating motherhood in medical school
It’s 1:30 p.m. on a Tuesday, and I’m sitting comfortably, propped up by four pillows with my feet on a medicine ball in front of the sofa. I laugh with complete delight as I stare at my belly and see the spunky kicks of my daughter, dancing inside my womb to the beat of her

Poppin ’ (Baby) Bottles for the One Year Anniversary of the Formula Crisis
Gabriella Beaumont-SmithOne year agotoday, Abbott Nutrition issued recalls of infant formula produced at its plant in Sturgis, Michigan. At the same time, Abbott closed the factory leading to a nationwidecrisis—the supply shock couldn ’t be remedied by the two other major U.S. formula‐makers, rigid policies prevented imports from filling the gap, and parents began hoarding supplies. In May 2022, national weekly out ‐of‐stock rates reached74% and continued to climb, reaching over 90% in June.Since then, national out ‐of‐stock rates have improved (thanks in large part totemporarytradeliberal...

3 Keys to Make Time for Your Goals!
The problem starts with thinking in terms of having time as opposed to making time.
We all have the same amount of time in a day, but what we make of that time and how we use that time is what makes the difference.
You cannot expect to get the results you want if you’re not prioritizing what’s going to get you those results.
Whether you want to write your first book, lose weight or start a business, you have to make what’s going to give you these outcomes a priority!
Here are my 3 keys to help you break the “I don’t have enough time” cycle.
