Nearly 100% of UT Southwestern Medical School students matched to residency programs – well above the national average of 94% – including about half who matched to hospitals affiliated with U.S. News & World Report's top 25 medical schools, including UT Southwestern. More than 100 matched to Texas programs.
Today, Yale Medicine physicians use a new form of technology called “robotic bronchoscopy,” which allows them to better reach smaller parts of the lungs. During a robotic bronchoscopy, the doctor uses a controller at a console to operate a robotic arm, which then guides the bronchoscope’s thin, flexible tube through the airways.

Remote work arrangements have skyrocketed in popularity through the Covid-19 pandemic, with more and more workplaces opting to participate in various forms of virtual work. But, a new analysis finds these different types of virtual work arrangements are not one-size-fits-all, and it’s up to leadership to navigate the positive and negative impacts virtual work has on employee well-being.
In a step forward for genetic engineering and synthetic biology, researchers have modified a strain of Escherichia coli bacteria to be immune to natural viral infections while also minimizing the potential for the bacteria or their modified genes to escape into the wild.

A new four-legged caregiver, a yellow Labrador/golden retriever named Grayson, is walking the halls of Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation – Fort Worth, a joint venture between Baylor Scott & White and Select Medical. He is the Baylor Scott & White Health’s sixth and newest facility dog, provided through a unique collaboration with not-for-profit Canine Companions®.
As the days got closer, 10-year-old Matthew Ward grew increasingly excited to interview the University of Michigan Men’s Basketball team. He was elated at the chance to be able to talk to his favorite Wolverines one on one.
In December 2020, the Kolars were taking one of their usual bike rides through Gallup Park in Ann Arbor when they noticed a runner had fallen on a slippery bridge. The pair quickly hit their brakes but proceeded to fall off their bikes. While Candace Kolars was unharmed, Joseph Kolars was in a lot of pain and couldn’t stand up.
Researchers have discovered early social learning in insects. They found signaling communicated by honey bees about food sources—transmitted through a “waggle dance”—is an intricate form of social learning and one of the most complex known examples of non-human spatial referential communication.
When physicists steered a tiny microparticle toward a cylindrical obstacle, they expected one of two outcomes to occur. The particle would either collide into the obstacle or sail around it. The particle, however, did neither.
Doublet Pool’s regular thumping is more than just an interesting tourist attraction. A new study led by University of Utah researchers shows that the interval between episodes of thumping reflects the amount of energy heating the pool at the bottom, as well as in indication of how much heat is being lost through the surface. Doublet Pool, the authors found, is Yellowstone’s thumping thermometer.
Parents have a new—and deadly—reason to sit down with their tweens and teens for a talk about drug abuse. The reason: fentanyl.
Un equipo científico detectó agua en el disco circumestelar de una protoestrella cercana gracias al Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Es la primera vez que se observa agua depositándose en un disco protoplanetario sin que se produzcan cambios significativos en su composición. Este hallazgo permite suponer que el agua presente en nuestro Sistema Solar se formó miles de millones de años antes que el Sol.
Scientists studying a nearby protostar have detected the presence of water in its circumstellar disk. The new observations made with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) mark the first detection of water being inherited into a protoplanetary disk without significant changes to its composition. These results further suggest that the water in our Solar System formed billions of years before the Sun.
Hospitals still struggle to successfully implement enhanced recovery programs and may need more structured resources to boost compliance rates, according to findings published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS).
Researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have created software and hardware for a 4D printer with applications in the biomedical field. In addition to 3D printing, this machine allows for controlling extra functions: programming the material’s response so that shape-changing occurs under external magnetic field, or changes in its electric properties develops under mechanical deformation.
Researchers have begun to explore the underlying neural activity of eating behaviours in fruit flies to better understand the motives that drive feeding.
It’s not just humans who enjoy eating shellfish, so do marine rays. They like to “crunch” on clams, which can sometimes take a big bite out of clammers’ profits. Using aerial and underwater videos, researchers assessed the ability of the whitespotted eagle ray to interact with clams housed within a variety anti-predator materials. Whitespotted eagle rays have strong jaws, plate-like teeth and nimble pectoral fins, which make them formidable and highly maneuverable predators of clams.
New methodology and tools his team developed by phage expert Graham Hatful provides the opportunity to watch in unprecedented detail as a phage attacks a bacterium.
The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (President Park Sang-jin, hereinafter referred to as KIMM), an institution under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Science and ICT, has succeeded in developing a smart, customizable prosthetic socket that automatically fills the socket with air upon detecting the empty space inside of the socket in real time based on artificial intelligence.
Have you ever wondered how pedestrians ‘know’ to fall into lanes when they are moving through a crowd, without the matter being discussed or even given conscious thought?
With so much mental health care taking place in primary care settings, programs to help providers get rapid access to psychiatrists to consult on diagnosis and treatment have started in multiple states. This story looks at Michigan's program, called MC3, which just turned 10 years old.
An international team of scientists has created a salad that contains ingredients that could be grown on spacecraft and provide optimum nutrition for astronauts heading into deep space.
In a new study, researchers used new technologies to remotely document, for the first time in the wild, the location and timing of shark birth. Named the Birth-Alert-Tag (BAT), this new satellite tag remained inside the uterus, along with the developing shark pups, until the mother shark gave birth and expelled the newborn pups, along with the BAT, into the surrounding water. The BAT then floated to the surface and transmitted to satellites the location of where the shark birth took place. The first of its kind, the BATs were successfully deployed in a tiger shark and scalloped hammerhead shark, documenting the location birth.
The time has come to create a new kind of computer, say researchers from John Hopkins University together with Dr Brett Kagan, chief scientist at Cortical Labs in Melbourne, who recently led development of the DishBrain project, in which human cells in a petri dish learnt to play Pong.
