This week’s news is focused on new research in a broad range of topics, from linguistics to biology. One study looks at slang terms for commonly used recreational drugs across the United States, with a wider variety of popular terms than you may expect. Another found that people over 90 years old actually benefit from drinking two alcohol beverages per day, but that study has been widely mis-reported. And finally, another study found that there are not enough prescribers of buprenonorphine in eleven states, including some hit hardest by the opioid overdose crisis.
