[cid:image026.jpg at 01DA132A.BC9A6480]A cornerstone of the VA's efforts to strengthen and diversify the VA scientific work force, the Summer Research Program offers research experiences to Veterans, children of Veterans, and underrepresented students.

The 3-year pilot program started in June 2022 at 21 VA sites across the country. Co-directed by Drs. Lindsey Anderson, acting assistant professor, and Jose Garcia, professor (both from Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine), the Seattle site primarily provides students with experience in research related to age/cancer-related declines in muscle mass and function (human, animal, and benchwork) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) related hormone dysfunction (human).

Not all overdose-related cardiac arrests are the same
[cid:image027.jpg at 01DA132A.BC9A6480]A study of Seattle and surrounding King County found that cases involving opioids combined with stimulants are on the rise and highly lethal. Dr. Neal Chatterjee, associate professor (Cardiology) is lead author on a paper published this week in JAMA Network Open<https://bit.ly/3MxjVV8>. Chatterjee and colleagues found that King County's incidence of overdose (OD) related out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) had more than doubled during the six-year span, with no corresponding increase in the incidence of OHCA not involving OD.
