Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a growing problem when it comes to combatting infections. Bacteria that have an additional protective layer to their cell walls — a type known as “Gram-negative” in reference to the staining method used to identify it —...
Medical students who report having a disability are less likely to match into a residency program, according to a new Yale study involving residency programs across the United States.
The findings, researchers say, suggest students with disabilities may...
Students who take a leave of absence during medical school are less likely to match into a residency or fellowship program, a new Yale study finds, a consequence that disproportionately affects Black students. Because nonplacement can negatively affect an...
After moving between many addresses (in 17 cities, 10 states, and four countries so far) and a career in global health, Caitlin Ryus is putting down roots in New Haven.
Now an assistant professor of emergency medicine at Yale School of Medicine, Ryus...
Understanding the link between brain activity and behavior is among the core interests of neuroscience. Having a better grasp of this relationship will both help scientists understand how the brain works on a basic level and uncover what specifically goes...
Around 98.5% of human DNA is non-coding, meaning it doesn’t get copied to make proteins. A new study has connected many of these non-coding regions to the genes they affect and laid out guidelines for how researchers can continue this work going forward....
A new Yale study finds that M.D.-Ph.D. programs in the United States have become less socioeconomically diverse in recent years. Between 2014 and 2019, applicants from families with higher household incomes were accepted at increasingly higher rates, a...
Whereas humans have one receptor on their tongues that can detect all sorts of sweet things, from real sugar to artificial sweeteners like aspartame, insects have many receptors that each detect specific types of sugars. Yale researchers have now...
During a sunny morning on Florida’s Gulf Coast last month, an 11-year-old golden retriever named Hunter bounded through a pine grove. Snatching his favorite toy, a well-chewed tennis ball attached to a short rope, he rolled through the tall grass, with an...
When developing machine learning models to find patterns in data, researchers across fields typically use separate data sets for model training and testing, which allows them to measure how well their trained models do with new, unseen data. But, due to...
