Alzheimer’s May Not Originate In The Brain
Alzheimer’s May Not Originate in the Brain
Authored by Kenny Walter, Digital Reporter, R&D Magazine
The long assumption that Alzheimer’s disease originates in the brain may not be true after all— as new findings indicate the disease could be triggered by breakdowns elsewhere in the body.
Researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) believe that the new discovery could lead to new drug therapies that may be able to stop or slow the disease down without acting directly on the brain, an often complex, sensitive and hard-to-reach target.

Government is supposed to address the problems a country is facing. Global warming, infrastructure collapse, funding failures in education, research, the point of government is to ensure that a country is thriving based on its principles.
The GOP tax bill doesn’t address any of our country’s pressing problems. We’re suffering from a massive underinvestment in infrastructure, but instead of coming up with a way to fund these projects, we’re repealing the estate tax. Instead of better funding academic programs and scientific research, we’re cutting corporate taxes without fixing the loopholes that help corporations avoid paying taxes in the first place.
This disconnect between what the government is doing and actual governance is jarring, not only because it will put America further behind rising superpowers like China, but also because it erodes Americans’ trust in democracy. Why vote, why participate in democracy, why believe in democracy if it doesn’t solve our problems?
This tax bill isn’t just a bad bill. It contributes to an existential crisis in America that only continues to deepen.
“Keeping the internet open is critical for us. It powers social movements, and provides a global platform for people of color, LGBTQ folks and the most marginalized communities to tell their own stories, run their own businesses and route around powerful gatekeepers.”—Candace Clement, Free Press Action Fund Campaign Director via @fight4future
Starting today, June 11, U.S. internet providers will be legally allowed to censor and block websites and apps, and force you to pay extra fees to to access your favorite places online. Your internet sanctuaries, the communities you are part of, the ones you have help build up, could be decimated.
Will it happen today? No. Next week? Probably not. The changes will not be swift. They will come piece by piece. A slow, tempered death to the free and open internet we love.
It doesn’t have to be this way. You can still make a difference, Tumblr. We need the House of Representatives to sign a discharge petition in support of the Congressional Review Act that would force a vote on the floor.
Contact your reps—let them know you support net neutrality.
It’s so easy. Just go to BattleForTheNet.com, fill out the form, and follow their directions from there.
They have an updated widget for you to throw on your websites to urge others to make a difference. You can put it on your Tumblr. Let your followers know what you stand for, encourage them to do the same. It’s so easy to do. Just copy and paste their small line of code right into the customize theme page on the web.
Go, go, go, go. We know you have that passion in you. We’re fighting right alongside you.

2017 is the year to be a fucking savage
Make moves. Accomplish all your goals. Learn to fall in love with yourself. And stunt so hard on everybody that has ever doubted you.
May the next few months be a period of great transformation for you.
