More people are exploring psychedelics for mental health reasons, pushing the need for trained guides. But how well-prepared are these guides? A recent study looked at programs teaching psychedelic therapy in the US. It found that while many programs exist, they vary widely in quality and focus. Som

A nuclear tech firm from Albuquerque is taking steps to build a production site near Eunice, New Mexico. Its goal is to create isotopes that hospitals rely on for scans and treatments. Right now, the U. S. gets all its Molybdenum-99 from old reactors overseas. That supply isn’t stable—if something g
Mozambique’s Matola II health center used to have extra hands on deck—workers who tracked diseases and helped patients stick to treatments like HIV and TB pills. Then aid money vanished overnight. Not because the need disappeared, but because funding priorities shifted. Now, the same clinic that ser
After leaving the hospital, many patients get a call from a nurse to check on them. That’s helpful, but hospitals don’t always have enough staff to make those calls. Some places now use text messages or patient apps to send reminders and health tips instead. The idea is good—fewer people end up back
A slow-moving storm line is pushing through western Montana, traveling about as fast as a bicycle ride. From just west of Frenchtown all the way to Florence, the system brings a mix of wind and hail that should stick around until mid-afternoon. The National Weather Service has flagged this for speci
