STAT Morning Rounds: Chemistry Nobel, Medicare, mental health
SHARE

The prestigious Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded to three scientists for their groundbreaking discoveries in the field of protein structure. David Baker from the University of Washington, along with Demis Hassabis and John Jumper from Google DeepMind in London, were recognized for their contributions to understanding and designing proteins. Hassabis and Jumper demonstrated that the structure of a protein can be predicted based on its components’ sequence, while Baker developed tools for designing new proteins.

Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled a proposal to expand Medicare benefits for older Americans during an appearance on “The View.” Harris aims to use cuts to pharmaceutical industry profits in Medicare to fund new home care, vision, and hearing benefits for individuals over the age of 65. This proposal aligns with President Biden’s push to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies.

In a concerning development, more than a dozen states filed lawsuits against popular social media platform TikTok, alleging that its algorithm is addictive and harmful to youth mental health. This news coincided with the release of data from the CDC’s Youth Behavioral Risk Survey, which highlighted the negative impact of frequent social media use on adolescents’ mental well-being.

A recent study published in Frontiers in Microbiomes revealed the presence of hundreds of viruses on household surfaces like toothbrushes and showerheads. These viruses, known as phages, target bacteria rather than humans and underscore the lack of information on indoor bacteriophage populations. Additionally, the EPA finalized a rule mandating the replacement of lead pipes in drinking water systems within ten years to prevent another crisis like the one in Flint, Michigan.

The editors of Scientific American explained their decision to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election on The First Opinion podcast. They emphasized the importance of considering science, healthcare, the environment, education, and technology in the electoral process. This endorsement marks a departure from the magazine’s historical neutrality in presidential endorsements.

In other news, articles on a range of topics from facial recognition to infrastructure disparities in Black neighborhoods to advancements in CRISPR treatments in China were highlighted as recommended reads. The diverse array of stories reflects the breadth and depth of scientific and health-related issues being covered in various media outlets.

Overall, these developments underscore the critical role of science and research in addressing societal challenges and advancing public health and well-being.
