There are actually many more things you can point to as examples of recent scientific breakthroughs www.scientificdiscovery.dev/p/medical-br... than 'curing Alzheimer's in mice', which people have been claiming to have done for decades and has a tenuous connection to what happens in humans.

A team of US scientists just cured Alzheimer’s in mice — and there is now hope that the disease can be reversed in humans.

Yeah, 2025 was rough in many ways, personal & political, but I managed to squeeze out a few pieces that I'm proud of, either solo or co-authored with awesome colleagues (& only a few led to hate mail/harassment!)
I wrote about cuts in health aid, RFK Jr, Trump's war on DEI, trans kids, & more

This great simple study looked at the nature of the increase in autism prevalence from 2000 to 2016 and found that it's essentially driven by changes in definition and diagnosis intensity
So, put bluntly, raw autism prevalence is an indicator of nothing useful for public health
