Fortified Construction Saves Millions in Hurricane Sally Insurance Claims
A new Alabama study shows that homes built to Fortified standards, a voluntary construction code focused on wind and rain mitigation, saw significantly fewer and less costly insurance claims after Hurricane Sally in 2020; if all impacted homes met Fortified standards, insurance payouts could have be...

Opt-Out Mammogram Scheduling Yields Unexpected Results: Higher Cancellation Rates
A study of 800 women compared automatic mammogram scheduling (opt-out) to standard scheduling (opt-in), revealing no difference in participation rates (15% each) but a significantly higher cancellation rate (24%) in the opt-out group versus 5% in the opt-in group.

Gait Variability in Youth Predicts Fall Risk in Old Age
Scientists at Stanford University found an 86% accurate method to predict fall risk in older people by analyzing three gait measurements in young adults (24-31 years old): step width variability, step timing differences, and foot placement consistency, potentially saving lives and billions in health...

Genetic Genealogy Solves 200-Year-Old Cold Case of Sea Captain
Undergraduate students at Ramapo College used investigative genetic genealogy to identify the nearly 200-year-old skeletal remains of Henry Goodsell, captain of the schooner Oriental, which sank off the coast of New Jersey in 1844, after bone fragments were discovered on area beaches between 1995 an...

GLP-1 Agonists Show Potential for Reducing Obesity-Related Cancer Risk
A new study of 170,030 obese and diabetic adults in the US found that GLP-1 receptor agonists (Ozempic, Wegovy, etc.) may modestly reduce the risk of 14 obesity-related cancers and all-cause mortality, especially in women, compared to DDP-4 inhibitors.

356-Million-Year-Old Footprints Rewrite Reptile Evolutionary History
Fossilized footprints discovered in 356-million-year-old rock from Australia indicate that reptile relatives appeared 35-40 million years earlier than previously believed, pushing back the origin of amniotes and suggesting a faster transition of tetrapods from aquatic to terrestrial life.
