The Internet Has Made Health Anxiety Worse Than Ever
“Don’t google your cancer,” the oncology nurse said to me as she drew my blood ahead of my first round of chemotherapy. It was 2006 and I was 17 years old.

U.K. visa changes imperil recruitment of scientific talent, policy experts warn
New U.K. immigration rules will deter international scientific talent and harm universities, science policy experts say. This month, a rise in the minimum salary that international skilled workers must meet to obtain a visa took effect, coming on top of a sharp hike in the fee migrants must pay to access health care, as well as new restrictions on visas for family members.
The changes “will make it much harder for higher education institutions to attract talent from overseas,” says Jenny Sherrard, national head of equality and policy for the University and College Union (UCU). They are “counterproductive to the...

Scotland Pauses Prescribing Puberty Blockers to Under-18s
Scotland’s only gender clinic for young people has paused prescribing puberty blockers for new patients under 18 years old after the National Health Service (NHS) in England banned children from receiving the gender treatment last month.
Puberty blockers are used to delay puberty changes by stopping the body from making sex hormones including testosterone and estrogen. They can be prescribed to treat gender dysphoria, the clinical term for psychological distress that results from an incongruence between one’s sex assigned at birth and one’s gender identity.
