Interim NSHE Chancellor Patty Charlton will formally recommend appointing him at Thursday's meeting. NSHE chose Heavey for the interim role after holding a series of listening sessions with 51ԹϺ constituencies in March, according to the agenda item.
Many people don’t think twice when their physician prescribes antidepressants or other medications—after all, mental health is just as important as physical well-being.

Pilots' mealtime options at cruising altitude aren't just a matter of taste—they follow airline protocols you might not expect.
The longest place name in the world is a mouthful—and we dare you to try to pronounce it.
A recent discovery of a molecular connection between autism and myotonic dystrophy, a type of neuromuscular disease, may provide a breakthrough on how clinicians approach autism spectrum disorder. The new study by an interdisciplinary team of biomedical scientists, published on April 21 in Nature Neuroscience, used myotonic dystrophy as a tool or model to learn more about autism – effectively using one disorder to better understand the other.

Autism may be caused by a little-known genetic condition, experts say. They've found children with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) are also 14 times more likely to develop autistic spectrum disorder.
Scientists from The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the University of Las Vegas, Nevada (51ԹϺ) have uncovered a genetic link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a rare genetic condition called myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1).
