A lot of Americans dont eat well. And theyre paying for it with their health. A diet high in sugar, sodium, and saturated fat can increase the risk of problems like diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease, to name a few. And those are amongthe leading causes of death in the US.This is hardly news. But this week Robert F Kennedy Jr., who heads the US Department of Health and Human Services, floated a new solution to the problem. Kennedy and education secretary Linda McMahon think that teaching medical students more about the role of nutrition in health could help turn things around.Im working with Linda on forcing medical schools to put nutrition into medical school education, Kennedy said duringa cabinet meeting on August 26. The next day, HHS releaseda statement calling for increased nutrition education for medical students.We can reverse the chronic-disease epidemic simply by changing our diets and lifestyles, Kennedy said inan accompanying video statement. But to do that, we need nutrition to be a basic part of every doctors training.It certainly sounds like a good idea. If more Americans ate a healthier diet, we could expect to see a decrease in those diseases. But this framing of Americas health crisis is overly simplistic, especially given that plenty of the administrations other actions have directly undermined health in multiple waysincluding by canceling a vital nutrition education program.At any rate, there are other, more effective ways to tackle the chronic-disease crisis.The biggest killers, heart disease and stroke,are responsible for more than a third of deaths, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A healthy diet can reduce your risk of developing those conditions. And it makes total sense to educate the future doctors of America about nutrition.Medical bodies are on board with the idea, too. The importance of nutrition in medical education is increasingly clear, and we support expanded, evidence-based instruction to better equip physicians to prevent and manage chronic disease and improve patient outcomes, David H. Aizuss, chair of the American Medical Associations board of trustees, said in a statement.But its not as though medical students arent getting any nutrition education. And that training has increased in the last five years, according tosurveys carried out by the American Association of Medical Colleges.Kennedy has referred toa 2021 survey suggesting that medical students in the US get only around one hour of nutrition education per year. But the AAMC argues that nutrition education increasingly happens through integrated experiences rather than stand-alone lectures.Medical schools understand the critical role that nutrition plays in preventing, managing, and treating chronic health conditions, and incorporate significant nutrition education across their required curricula, Alison J. Whelan, AAMCs chief academic officer, said in a statement.Thats not to say there isnt room for improvement. Gabby Headrick, a food systems dietician and associate director of food and nutrition policy at George Washington Universitys Institute for Food Safety & Nutrition Security, thinks nutritionists could take a more prominent role in patient care, too.But its somewhat galling for the administration to choose medical education as its focus given the recent cuts in federal funding that will affect health. For example, funding for the National Diabetes Prevention Program, which offers support and guidance to help thousands of people adopt healthy diets and exercise routines, was canceled by the Trump administration in March.The focus on medical schools also overlooks one of the biggest factors behind poor nutrition in the US: access to healthy food. A recentsurvey by the Pew Research Center found that increased costs make it harder for most Americans to eat well. Twenty percent of the people surveyed acknowledged that their diets were not healthy.So many people know what a healthy diet is, and they know what should be on their plate every night, says Headrick, who has researched this issue. But the vast majority of folks just truly do not have the money or the time to get the food on the plate.The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has been helping low-income Americans afford some of those healthier foods. Itsupported over 41 million people in 2024. But under the Trump administrations tax and spending bill,the program is set to lose around $186 billion in funding over the next 10 years.Kennedys focus is on education. And it just so happens that there is a nutrition education program in placeone that helps people of all ages learn not only what healthy foods are, but how to source them on a budget and use them to prepare meals.SNAP-Ed, as its known, has already provided this support to millions of Americans. Under the Trump administration, it isset to be eliminated.It is difficult to see how these actions are going to help people adopt healthier diets. What might be a better approach? I put the question to Headrick: If she were in charge, what policies would she enact?Universal health care, she told me. Being able to access health care without risking financial hardship not onlyimproves health outcomes and life expectancy; it also spares people from medical debtsomething thataffects around 40% of adults in the US, according to a recent survey.And the Trump administrations plans tocut federal health spending by about a trillion dollars over the next decade certainly arent going to help with that. All told, around 16 million people could lose their health insurance by 2034, according toestimates by the Congressional Budget Office.The evidence suggests that if we cut folks social benefit programs, such as access to health care and food, we are going to see detrimental impacts, says Headrick. And its going to cause an increased burden of preventable disease.This article first appeared in The Checkup,MIT Technology Reviewsweekly biotech newsletter.

Architects: Want to have your project featured? Showcase your work by uploading projects to Architizerand sign up for ourinspirational newsletters.The Chandigarh Capitol Complex is a government compound designed by Le Corbusier, located in Chandigarh city in India. In 2016, it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site comprised of three buildings: the Palace of Assembly, the Secretariat Building and the High Court, as well as four monuments: the Open Hand Monument, the Geometric Hill, the Tower of Shadows and the Martyrs Monument.Le Corbusier was charged with the Capitol Complexs design, along with Pierre Jeanneret, his cousin; the British architectural couple Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew; and numerous Indian architects, from Aditya Prakash to Balkrishna Doshi to Urmila Eulie Chowdhury, to the nations first trained female architect. Following intellectual currents of the period, the plan exemplified principles of rational planning, modernist aesthetics and democratic governance, becoming a landmark as well as an ideological statement for the city.Still, nearly seven decades later, a pressing question emerges: how relevant is Le Corbusiers architectural and urban vision in the context of a rapidly transforming Indian city?CAPITOL COMPLEX, CHANDIGARH designed by Le Corbusier & Team; UNESCO Management Plan by Abha Narain Lambah Associates, Chandigarh, IndiaThe inception behind the Capitol Complex occurred after Indias Partition in 1947, when Jawaharlal Nehru, Indias first Prime Minister, envisioned Chandigarh as a new city, a symbol of Indias freedom. A pure, modernist architectural paradigm, the complex employed bton brut (exposed concrete) and pioneering construction techniques that promoted modular scale and the integration of outdoor and indoor space. Spatially, the design adopts Le Corbusiers five points of architecture featuring elements such as the pilotis, free faades and plans, horizontal windows and roof gardens.Additionally, concrete sun-shading screens (brise soleil), double-skinned roofs as well as reflecting pools that served as rainwater catchers transformed the structure into a passive climatic regulator. In fact, Le Corbusier once described the Complex as the materialization of some of the principles he advocated through his design of Radiant City, integrating nature, sunlight and human proportions.CAPITOL COMPLEX, CHANDIGARH designed by Le Corbusier & Team; UNESCO Management Plan by Abha Narain Lambah Associates, Chandigarh, IndiaReturning to the present, there is a certain duality that resonates within the Capitol Complex. Politically, it functions as a seat for governance for both Punjab and Haryana an arrangement that Le Corbusier and his team never anticipated. This coexistence of the two state governments results into an operational complexity that challenges the initial open design and original clarity of the plan. In parallel, the Complex is both a living monument (i.e. a UNESCO World Heritage Site), as well as a fully functional administrative building, thus intensifying the tension between strict preservation practices versus functional adaptation works. Specifically, installing HVAC systems, accessibility upgrades and digital infrastructure may clash with a more delicate and careful restoration required to maintain the structures integrity.Finally, looking at the Complex within its immediate urban fabric, its brutalist form albeit impressive and symbolic feels alien in relation to the cultural dynamics present in contemporary Indian cities. On the other hand, its architectural significance has transformed the site into a place of pilgrimage for architects, scholars and preservationists, where this dual identity as both an artifact of modernism and a fully functional administrative institution raises the dilemma between preserving the buildings monumental integrity or reinstating it to fit contemporary needs.CAPITOL COMPLEX, CHANDIGARH designed by Le Corbusier & Team; UNESCO Management Plan by Abha Narain Lambah Associates, Chandigarh, IndiaDelving a little bit deeper into Chandigarhs history, the city was designed according to a rigid grid that clearly separated residential, commercial, institutional and recreational zones, aiming to create order, efficiency and a higher quality of life. However, the citys inconsistent growth, regional pressures and the uncontrollable emergence of urban sprawl has turned Chandigarh into a polycentric urban region that is now difficult to tame under the initial rigid plan. Furthermore, these fragmented regions have resulted to the creation of informal economies and settlements that need a looser approach in terms of spatial zoning and planning. Regardless of these conditions though, Chandigarh has somewhat preserved its initial modernist vision by placing an emphasis on green space, pedestrian paths and a general civic order. On the other hand, the city is enormously unprepared for contemporary challenges such as the lack of social housing, climate change and digital infrastructure.Within this context, the Capitol Complex becomes a poignant reference point that reveals and by extent tackles the stresses of long-term adaptability of modernist planning. Specifically, while its form is largely preserved, it can become reinterpreted as a place not only used for governance but also for public engagement through temporary exhibitions, civic gatherings and even cultural performances. By celebrating its monumental presence instead of viewing it as a disadvantage, the Complex could evolve into a shared civic communal space, abandoning its austere and impersonal modernist identity. More broadly, this approach can be applied at an urban scale, where other, more fluid forms of organization can become adopted and where the modernist ethos is reinterpreted instead of deserted.CAPITOL COMPLEX, CHANDIGARH designed by Le Corbusier & Team; UNESCO Management Plan by Abha Narain Lambah Associates, Chandigarh, IndiaTo conclude, Le Corbusiers Capitol Complex stands as both a relic and a provocation, challenging architects to rethink modernist ideals, honor the architectural legacies of the past and use this as a framework to create more adaptable and sustainable civic futures. Perhaps using the Capitol Complex as a case study offers valuable insights into how (in this case) Indian cities navigate the complex challenges of identity, equity and resilience and could eventually serve as a model for reimagining modernist urbanism in cities around the world.Architects: Want to have your project featured?

While Capcom has indicated an interest in bringing back some of its older IPs, especially with upcoming titles like Onimusha: Way of the Sword, one of the bigger franchises still left behind has been Dino Crisis. However, new rumours indicate that the company has been trying to figure out a way to bring the dinosaur-based horror series back in some way. According to known leaker AestheticGamer, Capcom has tried numerous times to make a new Dino Crisis.According to social media posts, the first attempt to make a Dino Crisis was being handled by Capcom Vancouver before the studio was closed down in 2018. A second attempt happened a few years ago, but was also ultimately scrapped. AestheticGamers posts indicate that the company is still trying to figure out what to do with the series in its prototyping stages.I hope Capcom eventually figures out what they want to do with Dino Crisis, posted AestheticGamer. For the record and I dont believe this is new info, but there has been a couple attempts in the last decade to remake Dino Crisis, the first by Capcom Vancouver before they were shut down (still have some of the leaked materials for that on my hard drive actually), the second a few years ago but just wasnt turning out good so it got scrapped. I hope they one day figure out how they want to go forward with Dino Crisis and its able to pass prototyping stages.The Dino Crisis games have largely been left behind, with the last major title in the series being Dino Crisis 3 in 2003. While there were a few rumours in the 2010s that development on a new Dino Crisis title had begun, nothing had really come of it. Considering Capcoms approach to bringing the Resident Evil series back, however, the company might be interested in returning to Dino Crisis with a remake of the original title before working on new games.The first Dino Crisis was released on the original PlayStation all the way back in 1999. Making use of similar gameplay mechanics to Resident Evil, Dino Crisis had players explore areas that might have aggressive dinosaurs waiting to ambush them. The title also made use of similar control schemes and the locked camera angles, putting it squarely into the survival horror genre alongside Resident Evil, since the dinosaurs were effective jump scares.Interestingly, Capcom had filed a fresh trademark for Dino Crisis back in March. This would indicate that the company is interested in hanging on to the IP, possibly with remasters, remakes, or even full-fledged sequels being developed. The renewal was the first time the trademark had been touched by Capcom since it originally filed for it back in 1999.In the meantime, if youre interested in revisiting Dino Crisis, the first two games of the franchise have been available on PC through GOG since January. The releases were part of GOGs Preservation Program, which hopes to preserve classic games by making sure they are playable on modern systems, and compatible with modern-day controllers.(2/2) have some of the leaked materials for that on my hard drive actually), the second a few years ago but just wasn't turning out good so it got scrapped. I hope they one day figure out how they want to go forward with Dino Crisis & it's able to pass prototyping stages. AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem (@AestheticGamer1) August 27, 2025
