Lots of Americans experience more inflammation in their bodies as they get older, but that doesn't have to be the case.
Jacob Aronoff, a postdoctoral research scholar with the School of Human Evolution and Social Change, spoke to KJZZ about it. kjzz.org/the-show/2025-10-28…

Congrats to Professor Megan Jehn for receiving the 2025 Arizona Public Health Research Award! 🎉
Since 2020, she has led the Student Outbreak Response Team (SORT), training over 400 case investigators to help improve public health.

Today, the UN family mourns the loss of Dr. Jane Goodall.
The scientist, conservationist and UN Messenger of Peace worked tirelessly for our planet and all its inhabitants, leaving an extraordinary legacy for humanity and nature.

Prenatal SARS-COV-2 infection in pregnant women is linked to developmental delays in toddlers:
"At 6 months, 33.3% of infants exhibited cognitive delays, 20% communication delays, and 40% motor delays, increasing to 35.71%, 64.29%, and 57.14% at 24 months, respectively."

Listen to my conversation with Patrick Short, CEO of @sanogenetics, about Population Genetics, Medical Genomics, and Local Capacity Building in Latin America! Thanks for the invitation to #TheGeneticsPodcast! youtube.com/watch?v=880WxySd…
🎙️Tune in to Episode 191 of #TheGeneticsPodcast 🚀
This week, we’re joined by Andres Moreno-Estrada, population geneticist and head of the Human Evolutionary Genomics Lab at @LANGEBIO in Mexico. Patrick and Andres discuss the creation and insights of the Mexican Biobank, the genetic diversity of Latin America, ancient human migration, and the role of locally-led research in shaping public health and scientific equity.

During an outbreak, what does “contact tracing” mean?
A newly released disease agnostic practical guideline, helps to strengthen public health responses during outbreaks by defining essential terms.
This guideline kicks in after diagnosis, when the risk of transmission begins. It empowers health workers, governments, and public health officials with the tools to carry out more effective contact tracing.
Built on lessons various outbreaks, it provides clear definitions and strategic recommendations to improve response efforts globally.
Explore the guideline, now available in 6 languages: bit.ly/4mETgWL

🚨 Our new paper is out in Science!
We analyzed 2,723 high-coverage whole genomes from Brazilians to explore how five centuries of colonization, forced migration, and admixture have shaped genetic diversity and impacted health.

Our new paper is out in @ScienceMagazine! By exploring the rich genetic diversity of Brazil, we show how fine-scale genomic analyses reveal that this diversity, rooted in Indigenous ancestry and centuries of complex demographic history, plays a key role in population health.

Today, NSF faces proposed budget cuts of more than 50%, threatening the innovation, talent, and global leadership the U.S. has built over decades. To ensure another 75 years of progress, Congress must protect the NSF and invest in America’s scientific future. #SaveNSF

“Lithium-ion batteries that power your smartphone & computer, weather forecasts that help you figure out what to wear, wings of airplanes that take you on vacation and all the messaging you do online can be traced to the symbiosis between research funded by government and private industry, the scaffolding for mind-melds of scholars and entrepreneurs.”
Truer words have never been spoken and an excellent article below that I hope everyone who cares about science reads, and that I wish we could get into the hands of those that don’t, that lays out what we are losing by not supporting our basic research ecosystem.

Ending social injustice requires determined action from everyone. Here are 3 things you can do:
📢 Speak up against discrimination
🤝 Support community organizations that provide essential services like food, supportive housing & job training
🌍 Engage in climate action
ALT Text reads '3 actions you can do to help end health inequity'. Below it, against the image of a megaphone is the text 'Speak up against all forms of discrimination'. The second point, against the image of a person shopping in the text 'Support community organizations that prioritize people & the planet'. Third point, against the image of a poster to protect the plant is the text 'Engage in climate action'.

My life's work is exploring the origins of our humanity through discovery and analysis of the fossils of our ancestors. #WithoutNSF, my research project will not be able to continue and we will know less about what it means to be human. #SupportNSF #SaveNSF #SupportScience
