Uyghur Genocide Shows Urgency of Combating Neo ‐Malthusianism
Chelsea FollettMounting evidence shows that China has enacted wide ‐ranging human rights abuses, including coercive population control, on its Uyghur minority. An Associated Pressinvestigation released in late June showed that while China ’s rate of permanent sterilization procedures is falling nationally, the rate in Xinjiang, where many Uyghurs live, has skyrocketed. Many of those surgeries were involuntary. Many Uyghur women are forcibly sterilized after having two children, as third children are illegal in China. The two‐c hild policy replaced China’s previous one‐child policy in 2016.The immense cr...

We Think We ’re Better Than Others At Avoiding Online Scams
By Emily Reynolds
Some attempted online scams are pretty obvious: those of us who are internet savvy, for example, are unlikely to reply to emails promising us millions of pounds worth of Bitcoin, no matter how often they land in our inbox.
Others, however, are harder to detect — and we may be overestimating our ability to do so, according to a new study in Comprehensive Results in Social Psychology from E. Blair Cox and colleagues at New York University. It finds that people tend to believe they are less likely to fall for such scams than others, and that this assumption can actually put them at more risk.
First, 146...

Neuropathologist Matija Snuderl featured in major journal discussing the use of artificial intelligence in cancer diagnostics
Dr. Matija Snuderl, neuropathologist and molecular pathologist at New York University Langone Health, was featured ina recent article appearing inNature (March 26, 2020, Vol 579, p S14-S16). The article, which addresses the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in cancer diagnostics, opens with Dr. Snuderl experiencing a moment that many of us neuropathologists have had wherein we hesitate before signing out a case because of a feeling that something might be just a bit different about a particular specimen. That feeling prompts us to do something else (run more ancillary testing, get a consult, sleep on it and ta...

4D Printer to Create Synthetic Biological Surfaces
Researchers at the City University of New York and Northwestern University have developed a printer capable of creating highly detailed surfaces precisely loaded with a variety of organic and biological molecules. The technology allows the researchers to create objects that resemble the surfaces of living cells, something that may prove extremely useful in developing biomedical sensors, for the study of diseases, as well as for the development of new drugs.
The technology powering the new printer brings together aspects of nanolithography, microfluidics, and organic chemistry while avoiding photomasks and clean room req...

Lead authorradiologist Myles Taffel, MD, and his colleagues explored these communication discrepancies by analyzing a set of abdominal MRI images from 126 patients who were divided into three groups: English speakers, English as a second language speakers, and people who need a translator during M...
