Researchers identified 218 gut bacterial subspecies linked to colorectal cancer.Subspecies-level analysis offers clearer insights than traditional species-level studies.New tools may enable stool-based cancer tests that are faster and less invasive. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, but it can be treatable when caught early. Unfortunately, many people delay diagnosis because colonoscopies, the main screening method, are often expensive and uncomfortable. Those barriers have created a need for better, less invasive ways to detect and understand the factors contributing to colorectal cancer, including the role of gut microbes.  While recent advances in technology have made it…

January 16th, 2001. That’s the day my life trajectory changed irrevocably. That’s the day that would lead me to, eventually, living alone—to being divorced. That’s the day my ex had a ski accident that changed the lives of every member of our immediate family. But today, I don’t want to talk about him or that. I want to talk about my story, about…

Zero-drop running shoes have a 0-millimeter heel-to-toe drop, which means the forefoot and heel are on the same level. The best zero-drop running shoes promote a more natural stride, have better ankle support, and can help strengthen your feet by making your arches work harder (due to their lack of arch support). Unlike most traditional running shoes, which have a 10-millimeter drop on average and encourage a heel strike, zero-drop shoes encourage a forefoot or midfoot strike, which may reduce impact on your joints and decrease your risk of injury. While some runners prefer their lightweight, flexible feel for racing, zero-drop…

Therapy can be expensive—notoriously so. In addition to the high per-session cost, it can be hard to find a provider in your area who accepts any insurance at all, let alone your plan. Online therapy is a boon to people seeking affordable mental health assistance because there are many online therapy companies out there that are in-network with many insurance plans, making it that much easier to find resources if you are insured and have to use that insurance to pay for services. As a licensed social worker and former therapist, I understand better than anyone how important it is…
