A state senator in Florida has introduced a bill that would require bloggers who write content about elected officials to register and report their work to the state.State Sen. Jason Brodeur filed SB 1316 earlier this week that would create a program in which bloggers writing about members of the legislature, the governor, lieutenant governor, and other government officials will have to register and file monthly reports with the state “if a blogger posts to a blog about an elected state officer and receives, or will receive, compensation for that post.”The proposed...

Another 77 officers are expected to retire before the end of March — on top of 264 existing vacancies, according to the Austin...

The words that researchers use to describe their results can be harnessed to discover potential new treatments for Parkinson's disease, according to a new study. The study employed an artificial intelligence (AI) system to identify an existing anti-cholesterol drug that has the ability to promote disposal of mitochondria, energy-making components of the cell which are damaged in the disease. The full pathogenic pathway leading to Parkinson's disease (PD) is unknown, but one clear contributor is mitochondrial dysfunction and the inability to dispose of defective mitochondria, a process called mitophagy.
