Obesity & diet
I wouldn't normally share a positive story about the new diet drugs, because I've seen someone get obsessed with them who was at a perfectly acceptable weight *by majority standards* (surprise: every weight is in fact perfectly acceptable by *objective* standards, because every "weight-associated" health risk is its own danger that should be assessed *in individuals*). I think two almost-contradictory things:
1. In a society shuddering under the burden of metastasized fatmisia, there's a very real danger in promoting the new diet drugs because lots of people who really don't need them will be psychologically bullied into using them and suffer from the cost and/or side effects.
2. For many individuals under the assault of our society's fatmisia, "just ignore it" is not a sufficient response, and also for specific people for whom decreasing their weight can address *specific* health risks/conditions that they *want* to address that way, these drugs can be a useful tool.
I know @… to be a trustworthy & considerate person, so I think it's responsible to share this:

However, existing literature primarily focuses on incorporating domain knowledge from a single ontology system, or from multiple ontology systems (e.g., diseases, drugs, and proce…

If you’ve ever tried putting butter in your coffee, you have Dave Asprey to thank.
(Sure, it was your annoying coworker who finally convinced you,
but that’s where your annoying coworker got the idea.)
Asprey is arguably the man who popularized the brew of smart drugs, supplements, and self-experimentation
we now know as biohacking.
As part of his multi-million-dollar empire

Diversifying Conformal Selections
When selecting from a list of potential candidates, it is important to ensure not only that the selected items are of high quality, but also that they are sufficiently dissimilar so as to both avoid redundancy and to capture a broader range of desirable properties. In drug discovery, scientists aim to select potent drugs from a library of unsynthesized candidates, but recognize that it is wasteful to repeatedly synthesize highly similar compounds. In job hiring, recruiters may wish to hire cand…

Home, but not safe: How poor housing is harming health
When Israelis think about health, they may picture hospitals, doctors, or the rising cost of prescription drugs. But a new integrative study by Jordan Hannink Attal (Hebrew University and the University of Melbourne) and Prof. Yehuda Neumark (Hebrew University) suggests the most important factor may be much closer to home—literally.
