A major milestone for California research — @CAGovernor Newsom has signed SB 895, the California Science and Health Research Bond Act, placing $7.5 billion in research funding before California voters on the March 2028 ballot. Reaching this point took an extraordinary effort from researchers, students, patients, and advocates from across California. To everyone who spoke up in support of investing in California research: thank you.

The dark cloud hiding in your pantry? Ultra-processed food. A new UCSF pilot study found that cutting ultra-processed food by more than 85% was linked to improvements in depression symptoms. One possible explanation may start in your gut. ucsf.edu/news/2026/09/432646…

Could Quitting Ultra-Processed Food Boost Your Mental Health?
