Alarming new study in JAMA modeling measles in the US:
If we stay at CURRENT vaccination rates, measles will become endemic again over roughly 20 years.
If rates drop by even 10 percent (and they're sliding), there would be 11 MILLION cases over the next 25 years. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

In case you missed it, we recently published one of the largest studies of the aging brain.
It reveals new insights into how the brain ages including possible connections between diet, inflammation, and brain health.
