Three Bouvé alums just took home 2026 Women Who Empower Innovator Awards, and we couldn't be prouder. 🎉

Dayna Altman (Bouvé MPH '18) was named an Innovator Fellow for Bake It Till You Make It, a community organization that uses food and baking to spark honest conversations about mental health.
Natalia Coriano Diaz (Bouvé PhD '26) took second place in Health and Wellness for Enlace Institute, building the health data infrastructure Puerto Rico needs to withstand disasters and close care gaps.
Haley Waud (Bouvé '12, DPT '13) earned third place in Femtech and Reproductive Health for eggPlan, a fertility financing platform helping women freeze eggs earlier with less financial risk.

These three join 34 winners from across Northeastern who are turning bold ideas into real ventures in health, tech, and social change. Their stories show exactly what a Bouvé education can lead to: solving real problems for real people. 💪

Why do doctors tell most people to get their first colonoscopy at 45? It's not a random number.

Bouvé's Neil Maniar explains that colorectal cancer is highly treatable when caught early, since about 80 percent of cases start as small precancerous polyps that can be removed before they turn dangerous. The catch is that cases are rising fast in younger adults, climbing 3 percent a year in people aged 20 to 49, even as rates drop slightly in older groups. That shift is exactly why the recommended screening age moved from 50 down to 45.

Getting a colonoscopy at 45 years old isn’t arbitrary. Northeastern experts explain the data behind when cancer screenings should start.

Measles cases in the U.S. just hit a 35-year high, and Bouvé faculty are sounding the alarm as kids head back to school. 🩺

Neil Maniar, director of the Master of Public Health, says measles is one of the most contagious diseases out there, spreading at a 90 percent infection rate among unprotected people. Kindergarten vaccine exemptions also reached a record 4.2 percent this past school year, meaning more classrooms have less protection right when kids are packed together again. Brandon Dionne, associate clinical professor in the Department of Pharmacy and Health Systems Sciences, points to growing vaccine skepticism and misinformation as a driving force behind the shift.

Both experts agree that in 2026, no child should be hospitalized or die from a preventable disease. Their message to families is simple: talk to your pediatrician and get the facts before making a decision that affects your whole community.

The CDC reports a record number of school children have gotten measles vaccine exemptions. Experts warn this could lead to more outbreaks.

Good news for coffee lovers. Bouvé faculty member Stephen Wood says your morning cup might be doing more good than we thought. ☕

The American Heart Association recently confirmed that three to five cups of black coffee a day is safe for most adults and may even lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Wood, associate clinical professor at Bouvé, calls it "a myth correction more than a new discovery." For decades, many patients were told to cut caffeine for heart health. This new guidance suggests coffee was never really the problem.

The real caution is around energy drinks, which pack three to four times the caffeine of coffee and lack the same protective compounds. Wood notes people with high blood pressure, anxiety disorders, or certain other conditions should still talk to their doctor first. As always, the way you drink your coffee matters, too. Extra sugar and syrup can cancel out the benefits.

How much coffee is too much? Northeastern experts explain why 3 to 5 cups a day may lower heart disease risk, but energy drinks don't count.

Are peptides the next big thing in medicine, or is the hype ahead of the science? 💊 Bouvé experts weigh in.

Mansoor Amiji, university distinguished professor of pharmaceutical sciences, explains that peptides are small chains of amino acids already at work in our bodies. They bind to cells and trigger everything from tissue repair to hormone production. Some, like GLP-1 drugs and insulin, are already FDA-approved and changing lives.

But not every peptide on the market has been through that same rigorous testing. Read more ➡️ https://news.northeastern.edu/2026/07/27/peptides-health-explained/

Proponents say peptides offer anti-aging benefits and miracle cures, while scientists warn that the claims outpace the evidence.

What does it take to picture yourself as a grad student? For 10 psychology undergrads this summer, it took six weeks, a mentor, and a whole lot of confidence. 🎓

The ROADMAP Scholars Program, led by Bouvé's Adrianna Crossing, gives students research experience, one-on-one mentorship, and a real look at how graduate school works. Students learn to write personal statements, study for the GRE, and manage the doubts that come with imposter syndrome and procrastination.

"This program really is like an equalizer," said Emi Santos, a fifth-year data and psychology student. The goal is to open the field of applied psychology to more students, including those who are the first in their family to consider grad school.

This is what mentorship looks like at Bouvé. Read more ➡️ https://news.northeastern.edu/2026/07/28/psychology-grad-school-prep-program/

Why is the Cyclospora outbreak so hard to trace? Two Bouvé College experts have answers. 🥬

Samuel Scarpino, professor of public health and health sciences, explains that Cyclospora has not been genetically sequenced. This means scientists cannot track it the way they track bacteria. The parasite can also hide in the body for up to two weeks before symptoms show up, giving it a head start before doctors ever see a case.

Samantha Garbers, teaching professor and undergraduate program director, adds that most people with diarrhea never see a doctor. That means many mild cases go unreported, making outbreaks harder to measure.

Does a kid's fitness level affect their impulse control? 🧠 New research from Bouvé College says yes.

Kellyn Carlson, a Ph.D. student at the Institute for Cognitive and Brain Health, led a study of about 100 kids ages 9 and 10. She found that fitter kids were better at stopping themselves from acting on impulse. Kids with more body fat reacted faster, but were not more accurate.

Carlson worked with faculty members Lauren Raine and Charles Hillman. The team used treadmill tests and EEG headsets to see how the brain responds during simple attention games. Their findings show that fitness and body fat each affect the brain in their own way. 💪

Great research starts with curious minds. Read more ➡️ https://news.northeastern.edu/2026/08/04/physical-activity-brain-health-impulse-control/

Aerobic fitness levels, more than body fat, have a greater impact on self-control in kids, Northeastern researchers find.

Could springing forward and falling back soon be a thing of the past? ⏰ The U.S. House just passed the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make daylight saving time permanent nationwide. But is that actually good for our health?

Bouvé College's John Devlin, professor of pharmacy and health systems sciences, says it depends on the science of our internal clocks. Circadian rhythm relies on light, movement, and eating schedules to keep our bodies running smoothly. When darkness lingers into the morning, cellular processes can go off track and inflammation can rise. 🌙

Devlin's take? Standard time is the healthiest option, permanent daylight saving time comes in second, and switching the clocks twice a year is the worst choice of all. His research points to real consequences such as more strokes, more accidents, and more disrupted sleep, all tied to how our bodies respond to light. ☀️
