Dogs and their owners really do look alike-here’s why
When I strolled into the ring at the Pennington Day dog show’s Look-Alike Contest in suburban New Jersey in the mid-1990s, I had all the confidence of a young girl assured of victory. After all, my buff cocker spaniel puppy had long, floppy ears that perfectly matched my wavy, blond bob. After winning that first contest, Soccer and I competed for about four years at Pennington Day in an array of matching outfits—hers purloined from my younger sister—racking up a row of blue ribbons.
Study: Nearly Half of All Cancer Cases in the U.S. Are Linked to Risk Factors We Can Control Original
A new study found that four in 10 cancer cases among U.S. adults were linked to modifiable risk factors, such as smoking, excess weight, and drinking alcohol.

TIME100 Health: Ronnie Levin Original
May 2, 2024 8:17 AM EDT In the next decade, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) aims to replace all the country’s lead pipes. Few did more to bring about the change than Ronnie Levin, who published a cost-benefit analysis in 2023 on cutting lead in drinking water, tallying the dollar costs of problems like impaired cognitive function and increased risk of health issues like hypertension and preterm birth, against the cost of mitigating the lead.
Joel Habener, Dan Drucker, Svetlana Mojsov and Jens Juul Holst
May 2, 2024 8:18 AM EDT Newly powerful weight-loss drugs became the biggest story in health in the past year—and Dr. Jens Juul Holst, Dr. Joel Habener, Svetlana Mojsov, and Dr. Daniel Drucker played pivotal roles in making those medications possible. The scientists conducted the early work, beginning in the 1970s, on glucagon-like peptides, or GLPs, that first transformed the treatment of diabetes and now that of obesity. As with many groundbreaking medical developments, it was a group effort.

The portion of his spinal cord that connects to his legs was damaged, severing his brain’s ability to send signals to make his legs move. “If you have a spinal-cord injury, the brain is sending a command to the legs, but it’s interrupted at the level of the injury,” says Dr. Jocelyne Bloch, a neurosurgeon at Lausanne University Hospital in Switzerland.
TIME100 Health: Adrian Hill
May 2, 2024 8:11 AM EDT For Adrian Hill, director of the Jenner Institute at the University of Oxford, the stakes for a malaria vaccine were laid bare when, as a young researcher in 1988, he worked at a hospital in Gambia. Children were crammed two and three to a bed, “dying in front of your eyes,” he says. The world has gained ground since then, but about 600,000 people died from malaria in 2022, most younger than 5.
TIME100 Health: Scott O’Neill
May 2, 2024 8:11 AM EDT Early next year, a factory in Brazil plans to release a new product: mosquitoes. The World Mosquito Program facility will give more than 1 billion of the insects the Wolbachia bacteria, which is harmless to humans but prevents the mosquitos from carrying the deadly virus that causes dengue fever, and even Zika and chikungunya. As they interbreed with local mosquitos, they’ll pass along the bacteria until eventually no mosquitoes can carry the diseases.
TIME100 Health: Charles Gore Original
May 2, 2024 8:10 AM EDT When new pharmaceutical drugs are invented in the future, Charles Gore hopes that every drug manufacturer will ask itself: How can we ensure this gets to everyone who needs it, no matter where they live? The organization Gore leads as executive director, the Medicines Patent Pool, offers a creative solution to the patent restrictions that can keep drugs out of reach in low- and middle-income countries.
TIME100 Health: Rory Collins
May 2, 2024 8:08 AM EDT Medical discoveries don’t often come as a flash of lightning but through years of repetitive, difficult work. The most valuable research typically requires lots of people, tracked over a long time, and at a great level of detail. Rory Collins helms one of the world’s biggest efforts to address this challenge: UK Biobank, a trove of health data for half a million people over time, including questionnaires, blood samples, and imaging of the heart, brain, and entire body.
Mulikat Okanlawon and Fidel Strub
May 2, 2024 8:07 AM EDT No one knows for sure how many people die each year from a disease called noma, which causes a gangrenous infection on the face, because it’s not well researched or tracked. In 1998, the last year from which data is available, 140,000 people developed it and 90% died, according to the WHO. The disease affects the world’s most vulnerable people: 2- to 6-year-old children, especially those who are malnourished or in extreme poverty. Its final stage kills within a few days.

Karim Beguir Wants to Empower the World With AI Original
February 8, 2024 5:25 PM EST For an industry that trades on newness, tech can be remarkably staid. Many of the big players are headquartered in a Northern California valley, and world-changing innovations are often produced by goliaths like Apple and Google. In just a decade, however, decision-making AI company InstaDeep has challenged that status quo. Led by co-founder and CEO Karim Beguir, the company set up shop in Tunis, far from the Bay Area’s tech bubble.
Transforming Industries Through Internships
When Rebecca Ajulu-Bushell was a fine-arts student at Oxford University, she landed an internship at a prestigious gallery. There, she learned about the art world, but not in the way she expected. The organization, which seemed to exclusively employ blond, white women, paid a stipend that didn’t even cover her London Tube fare. To get a full-time job there, a colleague warned, “You either have to know someone who knows [the gallery owner].

The Best Companies for Future Leaders
How TIME and Statista Determined the Best Colleges and Companies for Future Leaders Americans often envision themselves climbing the corporate ladder within one company to rise into leadership. But today, getting to the c-suite is more often a matter of “building your brand” and moving from company to company, says Peter Cappelli, professor of management at The Wharton School. “Companies are not hiring for potential much anymore,” he says.
The Best Colleges for Future Leaders
How TIME and Statista Determined the Best Colleges and Companies for Future Leaders A degree from an elite university doesn’t guarantee success. But in U.S. society, success is a good indicator you went to an elite university. TIME and Statista analyzed the resumés of 2,000 top leaders in the U.S.—politicians, CEOs, union leaders, Nobel winners, and more across sectors—to assemble a list of the universities and colleges where they received their degrees.
