When Mary Martin Young was growing up, in the 1960s and ’70s, she spent Sunday mornings volunteering at a hospital in Alexandria, La., alongside her father, who was a doctor. There’s a piece of advice that she remembers him repeating. “Nobody in that morgue woke up and thought they were going to die today,” he…
In Yonkers, Mr. Spilkowitz was feeling something similar. “I had had this unfulfilling bachelor’s summer,” he said. “Something was missing.” That something was Ms. Knight. When she climbed aboard the Get Free in October, showing off a set of sea legs neither anticipated, love set sail. Ms. Knight, a novice, was a natural. “I’ve had…
“No ring, no bring.” That was the family vacation rule that Nicole Iris Schloss knew all too well. Gregory Scott Chatzinoff got wind of it after they reconnected in May 2018 via the JSwipe dating app, and started dating. “Unless you’re engaged, your boyfriend can’t come on vacation with us,” Ms. Schloss recalled her parents…
Sabrina Rishmague caught her breath when she was asked what she had learned from Nicole Chipi in the five-plus years of dating that led to their Jan. 23 wedding at the Perez Art Museum Miami, where the brides and three guests stood before Edwin G. Torres, a Florida magistrate judge, who officiated. “At first, I…
My father stood in the kitchen eating refried beans from the can with a fork as Paul Simon sang “Graceland” on repeat for 20 minutes. “Hey Alexa, why don’t we take a break, huh?” he finally said, as if the speaker were a child who had taken too many turns on the slide. “Yeah, let’s…
Lance Liotta, Co-Director, Applied Proteomics and Molecular Medicine, and Emanuel Petricoin, III, Co-Director, Applied Proteomics and Molecular Medicine, received $1,339,358 from the U.S. Department of the Army for a study of HER2+ breast cancer. The researchers have two goals for this project. First, they aim to establish and optimize the quantitative cut point assay levels…
Researchers from the HSE Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience have proposed a new method to process magnetoencephalography (MEG) data, which helps find cortical activation areas with higher precision. The method can be used in both basic research and clinical practice to diagnose a wide range of neurological disorders and to prepare patients for brain surgery. The…
SARS-CoV-2 mutations similar to those in the B1.1.7 UK variant could arise in cases of chronic infection, where treatment over an extended period can provide the virus multiple opportunities to evolve, say scientists. Writing in Nature, a team led by Cambridge researchers report how they were able to observe SARS-CoV-2 mutating in the case of…
Scientists have made a significant breakthrough in the quest to understand the intricate processes that occur in the brain during seizures that are the key symptom of epilepsy. A team of scientists from the University of Exeter has studied the mechanisms behind distinctive patterns of electrical activity of neuron groups in the brain that accompany…
Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute have found important structural similarities between SARS-CoV-2 and a pangolin coronavirus, suggesting that a pangolin coronavirus could infect humans. While SARS-CoV-2 is thought to have evolved from a bat coronavirus, its exact evolutionary path is still a mystery. Uncovering its history is challenging as there are likely many undiscovered…
