Study details how ‘forever chemicals’ disrupt liver function

Forever chemicalsThe disruptions were also sex-specific — affecting donor liver cells of males and females in different ways, according to the research.

“These chemicals change our bodies,” said senior author Ana Maretti-Mira, an assistant professor of research medicine at the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine, in a statement.

Several of these compounds, also known as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), interrupt liver cell signaling and immune functions but do so via unique mechanisms, scientists observed in the study, published in Environment International.

Trump administration ending grants for colleges with large minority student populations

Linda McMahonThe Education Department announced Wednesday it is ending discretionary funding to multiple Minority-Serving Institutions (MSI) grant programs. 

The funding violated the law, according to the Trump administration, because it goes to institutions that “meet racial or ethnic quotas.”

“Discrimination based upon race or ethnicity has no place in the United States,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon said. “To further our commitment to ending discrimination in all forms across federally supported programs, the Department will no longer award Minority-Serving Institution grants that discriminate by restricting eligibility to institutions that meet government-mandated racial quotas.”

 

“Diversity is not merely the presence of a skin color. Stereotyping an individual based on immutable characteristics diminishes the full picture of that person’s life and contributions, including their character, resiliency, and merit,” she continued. “The Department looks forward to working with Congress to reenvision these programs to support institutions that serve underprepared or under-resourced students without relying on race quotas and will continue fighting to ensure that students are judged as individuals, not prejudged by their membership of a racial group.”

The administration did not specify where the $350 million in discretionary funds that was expected for these programs will go.

Israel's attacks on Hamas in Qatar stun the Gulf and dash chances for a Gaza ceasefire

qatarQatar has slammed Israel's attack targeting Hamas leaders on its soil as an act of "state terrorism" after an upscale suburb in its capital, Doha, was rocked with explosions that killed six people and dashed hopes of a ceasefire in Gaza, where the Gulf Arab state is a mediator.

The attack stunned the tiny Gulf nation, which is a U.S. ally that hosts Hamas leaders in exile as well as thousands of U.S. troops on the largest air base for American forces in the Middle East. Qatar is also where President Trump visited in May and lavished praise on the country's leadership for its role as a mediator in conflicts around the world.

That role, however, has drawn it into the orbit of Israel's many wars in the region, including in June when the U.S. military base in Qatar came under Iranian missile attack during a 12-day war between Israel and Iran that also saw the U.S. get directly involved. Iran's missiles were intercepted with advance warning. Israel has also attacked Syria, Lebanon and Yemen this week.
