She presented the preliminary data to a government panel on HIV-treatment guidelines in February, and the results have since gotten HIV experts talking about whether waiting to begin treatment until the current threshold of 350 cells is reached is too late to improve HIV patients' survival...
...climate change too; even if New York meets its laudable CO2-reduction goals, that alone will do little to stop global warming. But the city is ensuring that it will be ready for a warmer world.

A wood panel engraving of the Lowell shield—the hand seizing the arrows, encapsulating the motto occasionem cognosce (seize the moment)—gazes on studious Lowellians.
