New theory explains economic growth in terms of evolutionary biology
The struggle for survival that characterized most of human existence stimulated a process of natural selection that conferred an evolutionary advantage on humans who had a higher genetic predisposition for a careful rearing of the next generation. This evolutionary change permitted the Industrial Revolution to trigger a change from an epoch of stagnation to an age of sustained economic growth, according to the first theory that integrates the fields of evolutionary biology and economic growth. This research by Brown University economist Oded Galor and Omer Moav from the Hebrew University is the lead article in the current Quarterly Journal of Economics.

Brown has hand in landmark HIV protocol
Rhode Island recently became the first state to create guidelines for treating non-healthcare workers exposed accidentally to the HIV virus. Principal author of the guidelines was research fellow Roland Merchant, M.D., of Rhode Island Hospital. Co-authors were professor Kenneth Mayer, M.D., of The Miriam Hospital and Carol Browning of the Rhode Island Department of Health. The voluntary procedures apply to people who come in contact with HIV-infected fluids, such as through sexual activity, sharing needles or by exposure to a needle or other object. The guidelines detail what antiretroviral drugs should be administered and under what circumstances.
