Walking the TikTok Tightrope: Social Media Use by Healthcare Professionals
The following is a guest article by Alexandra V. Aglieco, APRN, FNP-BC

The Long and Tortured History of Alpha-Synuclein and Parkinson ’s Disease
This study tracks the decades-long journey to harness alpha-synuclein as a treatment for Parkinson’s disease. Steven Zecola an activist who tracks Parkinson’s research and was on THCB last month discussing it, offers three key changes needed to overcome the underlying challenges.
A Quick Start for Alpha-Synuclein R&D
In the mid-1990’s, Parkinson’s patient advocacy groups had become impatient by the absence of any major therapeutic advances in the 25 years since L-dopa had been approved for Parkinson’s disease (PD).
The Director of National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) se...

Weaving the AI Threads Together: Essential Conversations for Integrating AI in Healthcare Transformation
The following is a guest article by Demetri Giannikopoulos, Vice President of Innovation at Aidoc
In the ever-evolving landscape of AI, 2024 stands out as the year where artificial intelligence is poised to claim the coveted title of Merriam-Webster’s word of the year. Nowhere is the buzz around AI more palpable than in healthcare circles, where the promise of AI to revolutionize a complex and, in many ways, fragmented system looms large.
Despite notable successes, many AI solutions have fallen short, showcasing potential only in specific areas or departments. Why? Often, AI is treated as a technological bandage. Teams ...

The ‘Barbie Speech’ – How Much Has Really Changed For Women in America?
By MIKE MAGEE
In our world where up is down, and black is white, there is a left and a right – it’s the middle we appear to be missing. Does it exist, or was it make believe all along?
Into this existential despair enters Britt Cagle Grant, the 47-year old Federal Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. The Stanford Law graduate, blessed by the Federalist Society and Leonard Leo, and former clerk of Hon. Brett Kavanaugh, was nominated by Donald Trump and confirmed by the Senate on July 31, 2018.
Now six years later, her words in rejecting DeSantis’s “Stop Woke Act” (otherwise kno...

“I wanted to give up so many times. Although I tried to remain positive, I never thought I’d be able to finish my Ph.D. But I made it, and I’m extremely proud of myself,” says Amie Fornah Sankoh, Ph.D., a research scientist with Dow Chemical Company who received NIGMS support as a graduate student.
Human and Plant Communication
Dr. Sankoh has loved science and mathematics since she was just a child growing up in Sierra Leone. When she was 3 years old, Dr. Sankoh became deaf from a childhood disease. Math, unlike other subjects, is very visual, which played a part in her interest in it. “...
