The Dobbs decision restricting abortion has had invisible effects on healthcare: Med students and residents are avoiding red states where they can't fully study and may be at personal risk. Multiple surveys already show a tilt away from states with bans, because they don't allow new ob-gyns to learn abortion and miscarriage care.
The result could be a permanent shift in the US medical workforce.

How do we stop a fungal apocalypse? New drugs that work against fungi are hard to make — and harder yet, agriculture needs new fungicides too. A decade ago, wide use of ag compounds that were very like drugs for humans created drug resistance in a wide swath of human fungal infections. Now researchers fear that might happen again.
The problem: No body or agency, in the US or internationally, sets priorities or alerts one field of another's newest weapons.
