Two years after Ebola killed his entire family, a young Liberian finally met with the first health care professional to speak with him about the invisible, psychological scars the disease has left him with. That person was Fogarty Global Health Fellow, Dr. Gilberte "Gigi" Bastien.

A new Fogarty program is aimed at strengthening scientific expertise at institutions in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone so that when the next outbreak comes, they will be prepared to rapidly respond. The goal is for U.S. scientists to partner with their African counterparts to plan research training programs that would enable quick implementation of therapeutic or vaccine trials when the next infectious disease threatens.

Colorado Springs' homeless want to be able to use a bathroom or wash their hands before eating. They want “luxuries” like trash cans in parks so they can throw things away, rather than littering in the city they love and risking the outsized wrath of law enforcement and a fine they can’t afford to pay. The city's budget included funding for none of those.

The debate over where U.S. Space Command’s headquarters should be located is back on the front burner as the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee says he plans to move the Command out of Colorado Springs, following a new report.

The National Guard could be forced to ground aircraft and make deep cutbacks to training and maintenance if it is not reimbursed by August for its mission in Washington, D.C., after the breach of the Capitol in January, an advocacy group says.

Changes to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in President Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill would rob thousands of Coloradans of health coverage and lead to health care industry layoffs, but do little for the U.S. economy, health professionals and fiscal experts have warned.

The world's coral reefs could be wiped out by 2050 unless urgent action is taken to stop threats posed to the "rainforests of the sea" by everything from overfishing to climate change, a report warns.

A military tradition that goes back hundreds of years, involves at least two people and an exchange of money will play out thousands of times this month as newly commissioned officers at the Naval Academy, U.S. Military Academy, Air Force Academy and Coast Guard Academy hand a coin to the service member who salutes them for the first time.

Toxic chemicals known as PFAS are present in soil at disused firefighting training sites at Katterbach Kaserne in Bavaria at levels up to 225 times higher than what’s considered safe, a U.S. Army report published by German officials said.
Levels in groundwater near the same sites are also significantly elevated and could pose a health threat if no action is taken to prevent the pollutants from seeping into water sources, such as wells, that supply drinking water.

The war in Ukraine is part of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s attempt to restore the glory and territory Moscow lost when the Soviet Union collapsed, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski told an audience at the Atlantic Council in Washington.

When the Trump administration cut funding to AmeriCorps, it not only ended programs around the country that helped individuals and communities, but also left many members of the agency stranded, miles from home and without a roof over their heads, a paycheck or food.

Scores of people who U.S. officials called “illegal aliens” when they were rounded up in the April raid of an underground Colorado Springs nightclub are being held at a contract detention center in Aurora, a federal law enforcement official says.
