Factors like sex & age can affect sensory processing in #AutismSpectrumDisorder. This study shows that prenatal valproic acid in rats (an autism model) alters predictive auditory processing, revealing sex- & age-specific differences akin to those in autistic traits @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4fjpjZ8

Can NIH-funded research on racism and health survive Trump’s cuts?
The US administration has cancelled ‘DEI grants’ without defining DEI, leaving health-equity researchers in the dark.

Could this be the biggest climate story of the year? For the first time on record, China's emissions are falling due to clean energy growth, not slow power demand Full analysis + outlook by Lauri Myllyvirta: www.carbonbrief.org/... 1/7

DOGE went looking for phone fraud at SSA — and found almost none

The NIH canceled Logan Beyer’s health equity research, saying it was “antithetical to scientific research.” That’s completely wrong, she writes.
