Fiscal year 2014 began with NIA staff—like many federal government workers—banned from our offices because the government was shut down. During the seemingly endless continuing funding resolutions that followed, we guessed and feared about the size of our budget for the year, establishing a very conservative payline during the long wait, and thereby causing great consternation among some in the research community. Then, the financial outlook—but not the weather—changed suddenly….

Approximately half of patients hospitalized with traumatic brain injuries are anemic, according to recent studies, but anemia’s effects on the recovery of these patients is not clear. Now, researchers have found evidence that anemia can negatively influence the outcomes of patients with traumatic brain injuries. For each increase in hemoglobin of 1 gram above 7 grams

Are you studying the genetics of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease? Did you know that the Alzheimer’s disease research community has a database that gives you access to a broad range of genetics and genomics data? NIAGADS (often pronounced NYE-ya-gads) is the NIA Genetics of Alzheimer's Disease Data Storage Site, a national genetics data repository that facilitates access to data by qualified investigators….

Have you ever seen that old-time vaudeville act where the guy spins plates on tall poles? Well, that’s a little of the way it feels to be a new Scientific Review Officer, or SRO, at the NIH. You smile with three plates spinning smoothly—then, three more plates appear for you to spin….

In a bid to develop tools to recognize and filter out trolling or other negative messages, research has been gradually developing strategies to detect and predict trolls, from use of poor punctuation and spelling to negative content.
Delving deeper, scientific research is providing a glimpse into the psyche of the elusive cyber beast known as the Internet troll, and importantly, identifying effective ways to deal with them.
Defining trolls and trolling
Trolling, in some countries, is considered criminal. In the UK for example, the equivalent of five trolls per day were convicted in 2014, 155 of them are even doing jail time for online trolling abuse. The UK law states that it is a crime to send an online message or other material that is:
grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character
Basically, trolling is where posts that are unpleasant, offensive or inappropriate are used to upset and…

Unless you’re supplementing daily with vitamin D, it’s likely you are deficient and don’t even know it. Up to three in every four people tested are low in this vitamin. What’s the risk?
Until recently, vitamin D’s sole job was to support calcium absorption and deposition into bone, thus lowering osteoporosis risk. This role is now considered the tip of the nutritional iceberg.
Every cell in your body has receptors for vitamin D, which means every cell, tissue, organ, and system, from the top of your head to the tip of your toes, needs the vitamin. It’s no wonder research shows that vitamin D might aid the body in muscle weakness, gum disease, diabetes, insulin resistance, hearing and v…
