CDC Panel Reverses Universal Hepatitis B Vaccination at Birth
A major shift in U.S. vaccination policy has drawn sharp criticism from health experts, as the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted to end the decades-old recommendation for universal hepatitis B vaccination of newborns. As reported by STAT News, the committee now advises that only infants born to mothers testing positive for hepatitis B should receive the birth dose, with others waiting until two months of age. Live Science highlights that the committee’s new composition includes several prominent vaccine skeptics, stirring concerns about the scientific rationale for the change. Scientific American underscores that the previous policy helped cut infections by 99 percent in the U.S., and public health officials warn that reversing course could put infants at needless risk.

Early Cancer Detection Firm Freenome to Go Public in $330 Million SPAC Deal
STAT News reports that Freenome, a biotech pioneering blood-based multi-cancer early detection tests, has announced plans to go public through a $330 million SPAC merger. The company’s AI/ML-driven platform aims to spot cancers at their earliest stages, and the move is seen as pivotal for the commercialization of multi-cancer detection. Freenome’s PREEMPT CRC study and recent publications have validated its technology, and the listing is expected to accelerate access to next-generation screening tools.

Schizophrenia App Nears FDA Submission After Positive Trial Results
Digital therapeutics for mental health take a step forward as STAT News details Boehringer Ingelheim’s preparation to submit its CT-155 app for FDA clearance. Designed to target under-treated “negative symptoms” of schizophrenia, the app—developed with Click Therapeutics—showed significant improvement in motivation and pleasure in a 464-person trial. This represents a novel adjunct to medication, addressing a long-standing gap in schizophrenia care where no approved drugs exist for these symptoms.

Soil Health Revolution: Seismic Waves as a Diagnostic Tool
A novel technique dubbed “soilsmology”—detailed by The Guardian—uses seismic waves to non-invasively assess soil health, potentially transforming farming and conservation. This approach enables rapid, high-resolution mapping of soil conditions, which could help avert famine and boost crop yields worldwide.
