The amount of money people pay out-of-pocket for branded drugs to treat neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease continues to rise, especially for MS drugs, according to a study published in the October 30, 2024, online issue of Neurology^®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

Balancing the urgent need to confront climate change with society’s need for rising living standards and expanded economic growth is the defining challenge of our time. Fossil fuels are the key driver of this challenge. Their low cost makes them the default energy choice to power growth in many settings, yet failure to sharply reduce carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion is putting the world on a course for disruptive climate change.

To address this challenge, the University of Chicago on Oct. 30 launched the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth, an ambitious effort combining frontier research in economics and climate policy, and key energy and climate technologies, with a pioneering approach to education. The result is a first-of-its-kind institute that will produce new and deeper understandings of the climate challenge as well as practical, effective solutions.

In a new study from researchers in the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Denver, researchers examined whether two personality traits—honesty-humility and agreeableness—influence an auditor’s likelihood to report financial misstatements.
