05/20/2013: Skin Cancer Remains the Most Common Cancer in US ...

WASHINGTON ? The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), joined by the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is recognizing the Friday before Memorial Day as ?Don?t Fry Day?, to encourage Americans to take a few simple steps to protect their health and prevent skin cancer throughout the summer.

?While we?re making progress toward restoring the Earth?s ozone layer, Americans need to take steps now for extra protection from harmful UV rays and skin cancer,? said Janet McCabe, deputy assistant administrator for EPA?s Office of Air and Radiation. ?Americans can stay safe under the sun and enjoy the outdoors by taking simple steps such as using sunscreen and wearing UV-blocking sunglasses.?

?If current trends continue, one in five Americans will get skin cancer in their lifetime, and many of these skin cancers could be prevented by reducing UV exposure from the sun and indoor tanning devices,? said CDC Director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H. ?Of particular concern is the increase we are seeing in rates of melanoma, a potentially deadly form of skin cancer. In the United States, melanoma is one of the most common cancers among people ages 15 to 29 years.?

?Spending time in the sun increases the risk of skin cancer. Everyone can get sunburned and suffer harmful effects of exposure to UV radiation from time spent outdoors,? said FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D. ?Consumers can protect themselves by choosing a sunscreen that is right for them, wearing protective clothing and limiting time in the sun.?

To make it easier for people to choose products that effectively reduce the health risks of UV overexposure, the FDA has issued new labeling rules for sunscreen products. These include:

  • Sunscreens proven to protect against both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays can be labeled ?Broad Spectrum.? Both UVB and UVA radiation contribute to the sun?s damaging effects.
  • Sunscreen products that meet the criteria for being called ?Broad Spectrum? and have a Sunscreen Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 or higher may state that they reduce the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging when used as directed with other sun protection measures.
  • Any product that is not ?Broad Spectrum,? or has an SPF below 15, must have a warning stating that the product has not been shown to help prevent skin cancer or early skin aging.
  • New water resistance claims on the front label must indicate whether the sunscreen remains effective for 40 minutes or 80 minutes while swimming or sweating.

    In addition to using Broad Spectrum sunscreen, here are some tips to help enjoy the outdoors safely this Memorial Day weekend and throughout the summer:

  • Seek shade, not sun: Seek the shade when the sun?s rays are strongest; avoid sunburns, intentional tanning, and use of tanning beds; use extra caution near reflective surfaces like water and sand.
  • Wear protective clothing: Wear sun-protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
  • Check the UV Index: EPA and the National Weather Service offer the UV Index--an hourly forecast of UV radiation that allows Americans to plan outdoor activities in ways that prevent overexposure to the sun. Download EPA's free UV Index app at www.epa.gov/enviro/mobile/.
Nations across the globe have made steady progress toward restoring the Earth?s protective ozone layer through the groundbreaking environmental treaty called the Montreal Protocol. Signed by 197 countries, including the U.S. government, the Protocol is successfully working to phase out ozone-depleting substances. Scientists predict that the ozone layer will recover later this century.

According to the CDC, the states with the highest melanoma death rates include Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, Oregon, Utah, and West Virginia. Americans are encouraged to learn more about skin cancer in their states at www2.epa.gov/sunwise/skin-cancer-facts-your-state.

Video Roundup: Science Friday Desktop Diaries

I don't have a desk, because there's no room in my apartment, but if I did it would probably be covered in so much crap that I wouldn't be able to use it anyway. And it makes me feel a little better to know that Nobel Prize-winning psychologist and economist Daniel Kahneman doesn't have a desk either.

I wouldn't know that, though, without the awesome Desktop Diaries series created by the team at Science Friday. They've been interviewing scientists about what's on their desks for more than a year and each video is a fascinating window into how these researchers work.

It's tough to pick a favorite when you can choose from Neil deGrasse Tyson showing off the Saturn-themed desk lamp he made in middle school, Michio Kaku pointing at imaginary dinosaurs in the corners of his office, Oliver Sacks playing with magnets, and Brian Greene talking about how he reformed his award-winning messiness, but Daniel Kahneman losing his Nobel Prize medal is certainly a contender for best moment. Spoiler: He eventually found it. [Science Friday]

Startup Dublin event to explore innovation and business opportunities

Startup Dublin event to explore innovation and business opportunities

Academic and start-up adviser Vivek Wadhwa

A two-day event is kicking off in Dublin tomorrow to help start-ups tap into insights from experts around innovation, leadership and growth. One of the main speakers will be the academic and start-up adviser Vivek Wadhwa from Silicon Valley?s Singularity University.

John O'Loughlin and Stephen Smith, two MBA graduates from the UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School, are behind the Startup Dublin conference.

They are already running an entrepreneurship event called the MBA World Trophy in Dublin this week which will see 18 college start-ups from universities around the world compete over three days. The start-ups will be pitching their ideas to a panel comprising venture capitalists, entrepreneurs and thought leaders before an eventual winner is chosen.

O'Loughlin said the Startup Dublin event grew out of the MBA World Trophy to get attendees at that event to speak about issues that are critical to start-ups.

"The first day is going to be all about innovation and the second day will be about leadership, finance and growth," he said.

The main speaker at Startup Dublin will be Vivek Wadhwa. As well as being vice-president of academics and innovation at Singularity University, Wadhwa also lectures on entrepreneurship at Stanford University. His book, The Immigrant Exodus: Why America Is Losing the Global Race to Capture Entrepreneurial Talent, was published last year.

At the Dublin event, he will be covering the topic of innovation and how Ireland can leapfrog Silicon Valley. Wadhwa is also set to share his insights on where he believes the next billion-dollar opportunities will come from.

Other speakers will include the venture capitalist Ronald Weissman from Band of Angels, the seed funding organisation based in Silicon Valley.

Weissman, who is also a partner at the venture capital firm Apax Partners, will be giving a workshop on how start-ups can build the perfect pitch.

There will also be a panel discussion on diversity in the workplace, according to O'Loughlin. One of the speakers will be Sharon Vosmek who is CEO of the San Francisco, California-based not-for-profit organisation Astia, which focuses on female entrepreneurship.

"We've designed the event around start-ups but there is something for everybody," explained O'Loughlin. "It will be all about delivering insights with the best thought leaders who are out there at the moment."
