Beethoven's DNA Sequenced Revealing Clues to His Health & Family History.
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/22/2023 10:13 PM
Cambridge, UK...In 1802, Ludwig van Beethoven asked his doctor to describe his illness after his death, and to make this record public. The great composer’s health and cause of death have been debated ever since, but without the benefit of genetic research... until now. Beethoven’s genome has been sequenced for the first time by an international team of scientists using five genetically matching locks of his hair.

Governor Newsom Releases Master Plan for Tackling the Fentanyl and Opioid Crisis
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/22/2023 09:43 AM
San Diego, CA...Following a visit to the San Ysidro Port of Entry, Governor Gavin Newsom released his administration’s Master Plan for Tackling the Fentanyl and Opioid Crisis. Recognizing the opioid and fentanyl crisis as a multifaceted public health and public safety issue, Governor Newsom’s Master Plan provides a comprehensive approach to save lives. The Master Plan builds on the Governor’s $1 billion investment to tackle this crisis — including an expansion of California National Guard-supported operations that last year led to a 594% increase in seized fentanyl. The Master Plan outlines aggressive steps to support overdose prevention efforts, hold the opioid pharmaceutical industry accountable, crack down on drug trafficking, and raise awareness about the dangers of opioids, including fentanyl.
