Arkansas has become the first state to ban health care for transgender youth.
The Republican-led Arkansas House and Senate have voted to override Gov. Asa Hutchinson’s veto of a bill banning gender-affirming health care treatments for minors, including puberty blockers, hormones, and surgical interventions.
In a press conference announcing his veto on Monday, Hutchinson, a Republican, warned that the bill, as drafted, was a form of “government overreach” that would set precedent for the state to intervene in personal health care decisions and usurp parental rights.
He left open the possibility of signing the bill if it only banned gender confirmation surgeries for minors, but also expressed concerns that the ban on care could lead to increased suicidal ideation, drug use, depression, or isolation among trans youth.
Genetic Link Identified Between Face and Brain Shape by Hannah Joy on April 5, 2021 at 10:35 PM
About 76 overlapping genetic locations have been identified that shape both our face and brain, reveals an interdisciplinary team led by KU Leuven and Stanford.
What the researchers didn t find is evidence that this genetic overlap also predicts someone s behavioral-cognitive traits or risk of conditions such as Alzheimer s disease. This means that the findings help to debunk several persistent pseudoscientific claims about what our face reveals about us.
There were already indications of a genetic link between the shape of our face and that of our brain, says Professor Peter Claes from the Laboratory for Imaging Genetics at KU Leuven, who is the joint senior author of the study with Professor Joanna Wysocka from the Stanford University School of Medicine.

There were already indications of a genetic link between the shape of our face and that of our brain, says Professor Peter Claes from the Laboratory for Imaging Genetics at KU Leuven, who is the joint senior author of the study with Professor Joanna Wysocka from the Stanford University School of Medicine. But our knowledge on this link was based on model organism research and clinical knowledge of extremely rare conditions, Claes continues. We set out to map the genetic link between individuals face and brain shape much more broadly,
