No horsing around: super-fast Hendra test developed
University of Queensland vets are diagnosing the deadly Hendra virus in horses faster than ever, developing a diagnostic point-of-care kit that can detect the pathogen in under an hour, rather than days. Veterinarian Professor Ben Ahern said a rapid point-of-care diagnostic test to detect Hendra infections in horses has been sorely needed for decades.

Black, Hispanic populations among hardest hit by COVID-19, according to U-M research
Deaths from all causes combined increased dramatically early in the COVID-19 pandemic for certain demographic groups in the U.S.-particularly for Black and Hispanic people, even when accounting for socioeconomic factors, according to new University of Michigan research. In fact, the study-which focused on groups of adults under age 65-found the wealthiest non-Hispanic Black residents had a higher increase in mortality than the poorest non-Hispanic white people.
