Medical schools’ efforts to reduce depression and burnout among trainees have focused on building their resilience. But putting this onus on clinicians has allowed schools to ignore the taxing training environments and policies that contribute to mental illness and suicide, a doctor’s commentary says.

New research, conducted in part at Texas State University, suggests that warming temperatures in the Arctic may be contributing to a rise in North American heat waves.The study highlights a statistical relationship between Arctic sea ice and extreme weather events in the United States. The research suggests that during warmer years in the Arctic when sea ice is low, heat waves are more frequent to the south across much of the eastern half of the U.S. due to North Atlantic ocean-atmosphere interactions involving jet stream currents in the Northern Hemisphere. The evidence suggests these factors allow specific weather patterns, including heat waves, to persist for longer periods than the historical norm.
NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), a mission designed to comb the heavens for exoplanets, has discovered its first potentially habitable world outside of our own solar system – and an international team of astronomers has characterized the super-Earth, about 31 light-years away.

A study is the first to examine the relationship between parental mental illness like anxiety and depression in childhood and the risk of suicide and self-harm in adults who suffer from tinnitus, noise or ringing in the ears, and hyperacusis, extreme sensitivity to noise. Results show that among patients seeking help for these debilitating hearing disorders, poor mental health in their parents was associated with suicide and self-harm risk across the life span in addition to their own current depression level.
