CNBNews Guest Opinion: White House proposal would upset America's innovation ecosystem

by Jon Soderstrom Forty-three years ago, a young Senator, Joe Biden, voted for a transformative policy reform that catalyzed upwards of $2 trillion in economic growth. Yet now, President Joe Biden's administration is poised to undo that reform functionally. By halting this inadvertent political and economic sabotage, the president can protect a key part of his Washington legacy. The reform in question was the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, which helped revive the moribund economy of the 1970s. Prior to the law, the federal government held all the patents on discoveries made at university and non-profit labs that received federal funding.... Read more →

Vaping Bad for Brain Health, First-of-its Kind Study Shows

Newswise — ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 15, 2024 – College students who vaped had lower cognitive function scores than those who didn’t, and the more they vaped, the bigger the disparity, according to first-of-its-kind research being presented at the 149th Annual Meeting of the American Neurological Association (ANA). The study also found college students who vaped and smoked had the lowest scores. While using electronic cigarettes (vaping) has been shown to cause lung damage, the research presented at ANA is groundbreaking because there is little to no information on vaping’s relationship to cognitive function, such as learning, memory, problem-solving, critical thinking...

by American Chemical Society (ACS) Newswise — It’s important to eat your veggies, but some essential vitamins and nutrients can only be found in animals, including certain amino acids and peptides.
