Will Climate Change Cause The Death Of Insurers And End Capitalism?

Reinsurers are the ultimate risk takers in the global economy and the underwriters of capitalism. When reinsurers are no longer willing to accept risks, and governments cannot pay for the environmental damages from climate change, can capitalism survive? Reinsurers have been acutely aware of climate change risks. Covering climate risk has become increasingly expensive for them and is reaching a point where what they charge insurers makes the policies the latter issue prohibitively expensive.

New Ways To Sequester Carbon Despite Retreat From Climate Change Action

Accelerated weathering is the goal of academic researchers looking into methods to capture CO2 from the atmosphere. A research team at Stanford University, and one at Ben Gurion University have come up with novel ways to permanently sequester CO2 at a low cost.

mRNA Vaccine Technology Under Threat Despite New Research Findings

New research into mRNA vaccines shows they have long-term positive effects that provide broad protection against more than the infections they were developed to target. Anti-vaxxers in the U.S. want to put an end to mRNA vaccine research led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who controls the funding for America's National Institutes of Health.

Streamlining Clinical Trials: How EDC Software is Revolutionizing Medical Research

Enter Electronic Data Capture (EDC) software presents a transformative technology that is revolutionizing how clinical trials are conducted and, in turn is enhancing patient care. These tools are designed to collect, manage, and store clinical trial data electronically unlike traditional paper-based methods.

Designed Proteins Will Revolutionize Medical Treatment

We are learning to use artificial intelligence and tools like CRISPR to change existing proteins and design new ones. That's what is happening in research laboratories at Canada's University of Toronto (UofT), Germany's Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, America's NYU Langone Health's Perlmutter Cancer Center and other centres with the goal to treat cancers and "undruggable" diseases.

Revolutionizing Health Care: How Process Flows Optimize Clinical Decision-Making

Healthcare data management software combines automation with medical expertise to produce better clinical decision-making and healthier patient outcomes. As health teams use HDMs they find new ways to blend knowledge from medical practice with data-driven insights, putting better patient care at the center of a technological revolution in the 21st century.
