What if every American knew the date and time of their next primary care appointment?

A few weeks ago, I was working a shift in the emergency department where I still practice. I met a man who had lived with depression for years. He had never had a primary care physician. He had never been screened. No one had ever offered treatment.

Sinatra was playing over the speakers at Yankee Stadium, but the night wasn’t over, not quite. No, as Frank’s voice rang out at 2:30 a.m., in the wee small hours of Monday morning — “I want to beee a part of it…” — Jay-Z still had a few more verses left in him.

Gmail, with an estimated 3 billion users worldwide, has become a crucial email platform that many rely on every day. But when you log in, you also gain access to other Google services including Calendar, Chrome, Docs, Drive, Maps, Photos, and Sheets. It is this convenience, coupled with the valuable personal and financial data contained in your inbox, that makes Gmail a magnet for hackers. Your Gmail password is like a key that unlocks your information, and if it falls into the wrong hands, it could put your data and contacts at risk. Here’s how to check if your account has already been compromised and, if so, what you need to do to recover it.

A cognitive “speed training” game that cuts dementia risk by 25 per cent alters levels of beta-amyloid, a protein that clogs up the brain in Alzheimer’s disease, in men, but not in women.
The central result of the team's Letter. A highly anisotropic universe contracts (left), undergoes a quantum bounce (center), and then expands. Immediately after the bounce, within the deep quantum regime, all anisotropies decay exponentially—regardless of their magnitude or the matter content (provided the weak energy condition holds). This quantum geometric damping, unique to modified loop quantum cosmology, drives the universe rapidly toward a homogeneous, isotropic, and exponentially expanding phase (right). The image captures how a generic, anisotropic Planckian bounce naturally gives rise to a vast, nearly isotropic cosmos without fine tuning. Credit: Gan et al. (PRL, 2026).
Our universe is known to be remarkably homogeneous and isotropic. This essentially means that matter is distributed evenly throughout the universe and that it looks almost the same in all directions.
