The violent clashes between white nationalists and counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Va., on Aug. 12 is part of a rise in hate-related crimes, a trend that could be harming the nation’s health beyond the direct effects of the actual hate crimes.

The Lessons of Katrina Will Be Useful after Harvey
It will take years for Houston to rebuild from Hurricane Harvey. One essential part of that recovery will be reassembling the city’s medical capacity and infrastructure.

Study Confirms Abstinence Only Ed Doesn’t Work

McConnell’s State Loses Bigtime Under Repeal
Tricia Petrucci hasn’t quite reached the point where she regrets her vote for President Donald Trump.

Drones Bring Miracles to Tanzania

They’d already transfused the two units of matching blood that they had on-hand. They could have called the national blood bank in the capital of Kigali to request more, but ordering it, […]

Approximately 100,000 people in the US have sickle-cell disease. Most sufferers are African-Americans, but there are also many Latino patients as well as people of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Asian, and Southeast Asian descent who have sickle-cell disease. The disease is painful, and shortens the lifespan of sufferers to about 40 to 60 years. Although its […]
