NIH cuts are getting the press, but VA research is being slashed too. What do we lose when VA research goes away? Here's some greatest hits: The nicotine patch, the cardiac pacemaker, first successful liver transplant, development of the CAT/CT scan prospect.org/health/2025-02-…

VA Research Funding Slashed - The American Prospect

Though not as prominent as the NIH, VA researchers play a major role in advancing basic health science. Hundreds of projects have been cut.

Researchers @UMich @DepressionCntr used wearable devices to track over 800 doctors' daily rhythms and found that disrupted sleep and work patterns can significantly impact mood and mental health. By analyzing over 50,000 days of data, they discovered a clear connection between irregular circadian rhythms and depression, suggesting that digital monitoring could help identify and potentially prevent mental health issues.
