Indian company pledges to sell injectable lenacapavir in low- and middle-income countries for only $40 a year

Elections can be stressful. After you vote, maybe disconnect and do something that makes your heart happy. Democracy is important. So is your health.

Political campaigns can do more than raise your blood pressure. Studies link election stress to irregular heartbeats and an increase in heart attacks.

We're deeply saddened by Helen Branswell's passing.

Ms. Branswell's tweet back in Dec. 2019 was the first to alert us to a new virus spreading in China — one which quickly grew into the Covid-19 epidemic. Her reporting at STAT was reliable, relatable, and refreshingly honest. She will be missed.

Helen Branswell, STAT's infectious disease reporter who earned the respect of experts and public health officials with her accessible, prescient dispatches, has died at age 69.
