Millions of children have mental health disorders while treatment budgets shrink
This report really drives home the point that parents, health care providers and policymakers need to have more conversations about how mental health disorders are identified, and it needs to happen earlier to make sure proper health care is provided to children,” says Roslyn Murov, MD, director of Outpatient Psychiatry Services at Boston Children’s Hospital. “Childhood can be stressful, especially in modern times. Not every child is going to respond to those stressors in a healthy way and we need to be ready to support those in need, possibly in large numbers.” The report also states that America now s...

Can harnessing algae's natural goodness keep our skin fresh?
A French laboratory has proven that when it comes to beauty, good science really does make all the differenceLast week, continuing my theme of self-education, I ventured out of the UK on a press trip.

There are two reasons I accepted this invitation: first, it was from 40-year-old French skincare brand Phytomer and I have always believed the French know what's what in that area; second, the brand is all about mar...

It was a press release from the government, proudly informing me that Danny Alexander, the chief secretary to the Treasury, would be announcing a £2m investment into research into a new type of semiconductor.Now the research itself is nothing out of the ordinary: it's an experimental technology much like thousands of others being tested around the world.
