When doctors breathe the same air: How medical professionals become environmental activists
In the heart of major cities—from New York to Nairobi, Mumbai to Mexico City—medical professionals are confronting more than fevers, injuries, or chronic illness. Increasingly, they face diseases rooted in environmental exposure. From asthma linked to air pollution to cancers tied to industrial toxins, physicians are witnessing firsthand the impact of environmental degradation on human health.
How the One Big Beautiful Bill could reshape your medical career
The so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” was passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law by the president on July 4, 2025. This bill will have a sweeping impact on the already declining health care landscape in America. If you’ve been feeling a mix of confusion and frustration, you’re not alone. This isn’t just policy. This is your career, your practice, and your patients. This bill brings the largest cuts to Medicaid and Medicare in history. Nearly $1 trillion cut from Medicaid.
Author Correction: Multi-ancestry polygenic mechanisms of type 2 diabetes - Nature Medicine
Correction to: Nature Medicine https://doi.org/10.1038/s41591-024-02865-3, published online 5 March 2024 In the version of the article initially published, in Fig. 4b, c and Extended Data Fig. 7a, an older version of the data was used during figure preparation. In Extended Data Fig. 6, the cluster labels were applied incorrectly due to a coding error.
Multi-ancestry polygenic mechanisms of type 2 diabetes - Nature Medicine
Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a multifactorial disease with substantial genetic risk, for which the underlying biological mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, we identified multi-ancestry T2D genetic clusters by analyzing genetic data from diverse populations in 37 published T2D genome-wide association studies representing more than 1.4 million individuals.

Newly Passed IRA Puts Climate On the Ballot This November
In a historic moment, the Senate passed the Inflation Reduction Act and the largest climate investment in US history. Credit and blame are not hard to assess: passage was only made possible because all 50 Senate Democrats voted in favor of the bill, leaving Vice President Harris’s tie-breaking vote to make the difference. Not a single Republican in the House or Senate voted in favor of it.

Genetic Loci and Physiologic Pathways Involved in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Implicated Through Clustering
Genetics/Genomes/Proteomics/Metabolomics Abstract Hundreds of common genetic variants acting through distinguishable physiologic pathways influence the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). It is unknown to what extent the physiology underlying gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is distinct from that underlying T2D.
5 things medical professionals can do to take climate action
The flurry of recent articles on the adverse effects of climate change on health are almost as overwhelming as the climate crisis itself. Just this past year, over 300 medical students came together to found Medical Students for a Sustainable Future (MS4SF), an international coalition that recognizes climate change as the greatest health emergency of our century.

Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses of Perinatal Death and Maternal Exposure to Tobacco Smoke During Pregnancy
We conducted a systematic review and 3-part meta-analysis to characterize the relationship between smoking and perinatal death, defined as the combination of stillbirth and neonatal death. The PubMed database was searched (1956–August 31, 2011) with keywords, and manual reference searches of included articles and Surgeon Generals' reports were conducted.
