Dialog / Two technologies, one disease: Connecting DBS and focused ultrasound for Parkinson's disease management

Parkinson's disease is no longer viewed as a faraway neurological ailment buried in textbooks. More than 10 million people are already affected worldwide, and the number is continually climbing. Men are somewhat more impacted ...

Dialog / Infrastructure design is the hidden architecture of disaster risk

When we talk about disasters, we often default to the language of nature. We describe storms as "unprecedented," floods as "once-in-a-century," and heat waves as "record-breaking." While these descriptors may be technically ...
