Heath and science may not be your favorite subjects to read on the Internet. However, the marvelous development of health care and science sometimes surprises us. Sometimes statistics or outbreak of diseases worry us. Let's brainstorm here some of of the news in health and science that have caught your attention over the years.
For me, recently the prediction that the percentage of people with diabetes in the U.S. will rise to about one third of the population in 2050 is alarming to me. Diabetes is one of the main causes for blindness, kidney failure, etc. Having a healthy diet and lifestyle is the key to prevent this disease.
Well, actually, health science is my major. So these kinds of topics attract me the most.
ReplyDeleteI concern about human genetics and gene therapy. Have you ever heard about the Human Genome Project? I am sure you have.
I usually read Scienctific America to update the research around the world.
Today I read an article that explain "Why women live longer". You may find it interesting: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=why-women-live-longer
Yes, I've heard about the Human Genome Project. Hope that it will continue to help scientists to better understand the causes of diseases and find cure for them.
ReplyDeleteI also quickly read the article about women and men's longetivity. The author's explanation is informative and yet humorous. Human activities are often so complicated that it's difficult to pinpoint causes for a phenomenon.However, it doesn't stop scientists to continue to find the answers to different questions.
