But in a study published in Nature Medicine, researchers from University College London (UCL) linked growth hormone treatments to the development of Alzheimer’s, according to a UCL press release...

In America’s newsrooms, however, it’s an ideological black hole. A study by Syracuse University’s journalism school found that just 3.4% of American journalists identify as Republicans. This isn’t just an imbalance; it’s a comedic farce of epic proportions. But nobody’s laughing. The number is an all-time low for conservative journalists. Ten years ago, a whopping 7% of all journalists identified as Republicans. In the ’70s, about a quarter of journalists identified as Republican. Democrats, on the other hand, were just over 36% of journalists in the most recent study, a ratio of nearly 11 to 1...

Joshua Schulte, who was convicted of orchestrating the largest leak of classified material in CIA history, was sentenced to 40 years in prison Thursday. Schulte, 35, handed WikiLeaks a trove of CIA cyber-espionage tools known as Vault 7, in what federal prosecutors called "some of the most heinous, brazen violations of the Espionage Act in American history."
