    A miracle drug that curbs addiction?
    Feb 24 2026
    The popular class of weight loss drugs known as GLP-1s have shown to be effective in curbing cravings beyond food. A few early studies have suggested that GLP-1 medications can do a lot to alleviate not just food cravings, but all kinds of addiction. “Alcoholism, and drug addiction, is like a record playing in your mind,” said Dr. Steven Klein, a physician at the nonprofit Caron Treatment Centers in Providence. “What these medications do is lift the needle off that record long enough that we can teach you another song.” Health reporter Chris Serres explains to me the promise of these medications, and why their potential as a ‘miracle drug’ for addiction has only recently been discovered.

  • The lasting effects of Boston’s biotech brain drain

    The lasting effects of Boston’s biotech brain drain
    Feb 13 2026
    Massachusetts attracts scientists and researchers from across the world as a hub of biotech and biomedical research, but funding cuts enacted by the Trump administration, along with severe immigration policies, have changed that attraction to repulsion. Those same leaders in biomedical research are now relocating or changing careers altogether, searching for funding, stability and safety. The Globe partnered with MassInc. Polling Group to survey scientists who received funding from NIH on what impacts they’ve faced and the results were damning. Health reporters Sarah Rahal and Jonathan Saltzmann explain the results of this survey and what it means for the future of Boston’s biomedical industry. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Terrified screams when ICE surges in Maine
    Feb 5 2026
    When Fátima Lucas Henrique left home before 6 a.m. last Friday to head to her shift as a certified nursing assistant, it was with a sense of resolve. The ongoing immigration crackdown in the state wasn’t going to change that. Then came the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, rushing to her and forcing her from her car as onlookers honked their horns and shouted for help. Her terrified, piercing screams throughout the arrest, captured in a video widely circulated on social media, confirmed the fears and panic that many here worried would take hold once federal agents arrived. Maine has experienced a surge of federal agents in an effort the DHS has called "Operation Catch of the Day". Reporter Sabrina Shankman brings the immediate story of Fatima Lucas Henrique and the echoes of unrest that continued ICE presence in Maine has brought.
