Diversity Supplement Program Paves the Way for Talented Researchers
“I hope that one day I’m able to increase our understanding of evolution, and I also hope to increase access to research. I want others to know that this space is open to people who look like me, who come from disadvantaged backgrounds, and who are underrepresented in the sciences,” says Nkrumah Grant, Ph.D., a postdoctoral research associate (postdoc) in microbiology and molecular genetics at Michigan State University (MSU) in East Lansing. Dr. Grant’s work receives support from the NIGMS Diversity Supplement Program (DSP), which is designed to improve the recruitment and training of promising researchers from ...

Having Tackled Workflows and Image Enhancement, Generative AI Targets Diagnostics
The following is a guest article by Morris Panner, President at Intelerad Medical Systems By 2034, the U.S. could face a shortage of up to 124,000 physicians due, in part, to burnout.

The usage of this potential solution in the imaging space has been delayed due to the perception it’s a bit of a rule-breaker. A fairly recent arrival to radiology, Generative AI has emerged as a powerful resource, showing promise in a variety of tasks, from supporting streamlined workflows to syntheti...

A Certain Type of Media Outlet that Chooses to Generate Confusion About Longevity Science
There is a certain type of media entity and journalist that really only cares about name dropping the wealthy and the famous, and has absolutely no interest in accuracy, education, understanding, factual conveyance of information, all of those pleasant things that make the world turn. Thus there will continue to be articles about ongoing intitiatives relating to aging, such as the one I'll reluctantly point out today, that are abysmal. This sort of article is abysmal because it actively, willfully conflates a whole set of very different activities with very different merits under one heading, while appealing to lowest comm...

A Call for Matching Donors for the LEV Foundation " Robust Mouse Rejuvenation 2 " Fundraiser
The Longevity Escape Velocity (LEV) Foundation was founded by Aubrey de Grey to address an important missing aspect of the ongoing work to produce treatments that target the underlying mechanisms of aging. While the research and development community has made sizable strides in the past decade, and the first rejuvenation therapies now exist in at least prototype form, it remains the case that next to no-one is conducting combination studies that use two or more of these interventions. When considering therapies that can repair forms of the cell and tissue damage that cause aging, it seems plausible that two different thera...
