G Kumar’s vaping addiction peaked in college at the University of Colorado, when flavored, disposable vapes were taking off. “I’d go through, let’s say, 1,200 puffs in a week,” Kumar said. Vaping became a crutch for them. Like losing a cellphone, losing a vape pen would set off a mad scramble. “It needs to be right next to my head when I fall asleep at night, and then in the morning, I have to thrash through the sheets and pick it up and find it,” Kumar recalled. They got sick often, including catching covid-19 — and vaping through all of it. Kumar, now 24, eventually quit. But many of their g...

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — En un granero al aire libre en el borde de la Universidad de Florida, el veterinario Juan Campos Krauer examina las pezuñas y las orejas de un armadillo muerto en busca de signos de infección. Sus garras están apretadas y cubiertas de sangre. Campos Krauer cree que lo golpearon en la cabeza mientras cruzaba una carretera cercana. Luego, corta con un bisturí la parte inferior del animal y extrae todos los órganos importantes: corazón, hígado, riñones. Coloca las muestras embotelladas en un congelador ultra frío, en su laboratorio de la universidad. Campos Krauer planea exami...

Un día, cerca de Boulder, Colorado, cuando las fuertes ráfagas de viento amenazaron con crear un incendio forestal, la mayor empresa de servicios públicos del estado cortó la electricidad a 52,000 hogares y empresas, incluida Frasier, una residencia para adultos mayores y centro de enfermería especializada. Era la primera vez que Xcel Energy cortaba la electricidad en Colorado como medida para prevenir incendios forestales, según un responsable de la empresa. Esta práctica, también conocida como cortes de energía de seguridad pública, se ha arraigado en California y se está extendiendo a otros...

When powerful wind gusts created threatening wildfire conditions one day near Boulder, Colorado, the state’s largest utility cut power to 52,000 homes and businesses — including Frasier, an assisted living and skilled nursing facility. It was the first time Xcel Energy preemptively switched off electricity in Colorado as a wildfire prevention tool, according to a company official. The practice, also known as public safety power shut-offs, has taken root in California and is spreading elsewhere as a way to keep downed and damaged power lines from sparking blazes and fueling the West’s more freq...

Happy Tuesday and welcome to another edition of Rent Free. Since state legislatures are winding down their sessions—thus reducing the churn of state housing policy battles that are this newsletter's bread and butter—I figure I'd change the format of this week's Rent Free up just a little bit. For our lead story, I'm taking advantage of the slower news cycle to write about an unfair Taylor Swift smear and what it might teach us about the dynamics of rising housing demand and constrained housing supply. Following that opening act is a Q&A with this year's YIMBY pop sensation, Colorado Gov. Jared...

One of Montana’s largest health clinics that serves people in poverty has cut back services and laid off workers. The retrenchment mirrors similar cuts around the country as safety-net health centers feel the effects of states purging their Medicaid rolls. Billings-based RiverStone Health is eliminating 42 jobs this spring, cutting nearly 10% of its workforce. The cuts have shuttered an inpatient hospice facility, will close a center for patients managing high blood pressure, and removed a nurse who worked within rural schools. It also reduced the size of the clinic’s behavioral health care te...

En 2020 y 2023, el gobierno federal cambió su postura sobre quiénes podían donar órganos y sangre de manera segura, reduciendo las restricciones para hombres que tienen sexo con hombres. Pero las limitaciones que impone la Administración de Drogas y Alimentos (FDA) sobre la donación de tejidos, un término general que abarca desde los ojos hasta la piel y los ligamentos, siguen vigentes. Defensores, legisladores y grupos enfocados en eliminar estas barreras, en particular la de la donación de córneas, dijeron sentirse frustrados porque la FDA no ha escuchado sus pedidos. Lo que piden es que las...
