Vision-saving surgery linked to improved survival | Scienmag
A groundbreaking study led by researchers at UCLA has unveiled promising advances in the treatment of uveal melanoma, a rare and often devastating cancer that originates within the eye’s uveal tract. This new approach, which combines targeted radiation therapy with an innovative surgical technique involving the replacement of the eye’s vitreous gel with silicone oil, not only preserves patients’ vision but also appears to markedly reduce the risk of the cancer spreading and may significantly improve long-term survival outcomes.

Trump’s UCLA funding cut fails to protect Jewish students | Jewish Journal
At its core, Trump’s policy is not aimed at combating antisemitism. It’s a thinly veiled attack on higher education. UCLA is a nationally recognized public research institution, responsible for groundbreaking work in medicine, climate science, engineering and countless other academic fields.

Student bodies have also become more polarized over the past several decades. The researchers analyzed about 40 years of the Freshman Survey from UCLA’s Higher Education Research Institute, which includes the political leanings of over 15 million first-year college students. They found that colleges that leaned liberal in the 1980s have grown more liberal, at least among their freshman classes; the same is true for colleges that leaned conservative.
Data suggests that most political violence comes from the right | Time
But Benjamin Radd, a political scientist and professor of law at the University of California, Los Angeles, says the Trump Administration’s characterization of a big shift in left-wing violence is not represented in the numbers. “If the number grows from one to five, that is like a five-fold increase ... So I think what Trump is saying is, yes, we do have more than we did before, but before was basically negligible — so does that represent a trend? No, we don’t have enough data,” Radd says.
