Spring 2018 Real to Reel

Statistics show that 13- to 24-year-olds accounted for 22% of all new diagnoses in the U.S. in 2015, but young people dealing with HIV/AIDS are the least likely to have access to health care that would help them cut the risk of spreading the disease.

The Spring 2018 newsletter features stories about a geriatrician who builds homes for older adults; why young people are especially at risk for HIV; U.S. military space systems vulnerable to attacks (cyber and otherwise); and genetic testing with its troubling implications when it comes to screening for disorders and disabilities in embryos.
