America’s Foreign Policy Failures & Global Fallout
By Dr. Arvind Suresh The United States of America has positioned itself as a global superpower over the past few decades, frequently promoting the ideals of justice, freedom, and democracy. However, a more thorough examination of its foreign policy reveals a history of poor decisions, ill-advised alliances, and tactical ploys that have not only destabilized areas but also, frequently, given adversaries more power.
The real causes for the 'surge' in austim diagnoses-The facts that RFK. Jr. and other vaccine rejectionists continue to get wrong
The number of autism cases has skyrocketed in the past few decades. In the 1970s and 1980s, about one out of every 2,000 children had autism. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in 150 8-year-olds in the United States has an autism spectrum disorder, or ASD. This expanded definition refers not only to autism but also to a collection of brain development disorders such as Asperger’s syndrome. It’s been considered a medical puzzle.

Autism increase mystery solved? No, it's not vaccines, GMOs, glyphosate-or organic foods
The number of autism cases has skyrocketed in the past few decades. In the 1970s and 1980s, about one out of every 2,000 children had autism. Today, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in 150 8-year-olds in the United States has an autism spectrum disorder, or ASD. This expanded definition refers not only to autism but also to a collection of brain development disorders such as Asperger’s syndrome. It’s been considered a medical puzzle.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Addressing Food Insecurity in Rural Primary Care
Abstract Context: Primary care practices are well-suited to address food insecurity (FI) in patients by conducting routine screening, hosting practice-based food programs, and connecting patients to community resources. Rural practices face unique barriers addressing FI, which may have been impacted by changes in clinic processes, resources, and food needs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Rethinking Food Insecurity During a Pandemic: An Equity-Based Approach
Arvind Suresh, a Dartmouth medical student, and Matthew Fischer, a law student at Vermont Law School, discuss how recent pandemic responses have created even more difficulties for food insecure communities... In just a few weeks, COVID-19 has overwhelmed the world and drastically changed our lives.
Are GMOs safe?
At a Glance In the three decades since the introduction of GMO crops, there have been more than 2,000 studies evaluating health and environmental aspects of genetically engineered products. The vast majority of studies has found nothing to indicate that GM foods represent a health threat. The consensus among scientists is that gene altered crops offer no more risk than those developed through conventional breeding techniques.

A new citizen science project for dog lovers. MuttMix: Can You Guess That Mutt? - Citizen Science Salon
Our first question upon hearing that someone has a new baby is usually “Is it a boy or a girl?” But our first question upon hearing that someone has gotten a new puppy is more often “What breed is it?” Breed is at the heart of how we perceive dogs. It affects many of our expectations of them – energy level, intelligence, friendliness – for better or for worse.
