(Press-News.org) WASHINGTON—Endocrine Society members elected Joy Wu, M.D., Ph.D., of the Stanford University School of Medicine in Stanford, Calif., as its 2027-2028 President. She will serve as President-Elect for a year beginning in June 2026 before becoming President in June 2027.
Wu is the Gerald M. Reaven, MD Professor of Endocrinology, Chief of the Division of Endocrinology and Vice Chair of Basic Science in the Department of Medicine at Stanford. She is a board-certified endocrinologist who specializes in treating osteoporosis and other bone and mineral diseases. She has a special interest in optimizing skeletal health for those at risk of bone loss from cancer therapies.
Wu directs a basic and translational research program that focuses on skeletal development and the bone marrow hematopoietic niche. Her laboratory is currently studying stem cell therapies for bone formation, and the prevention of cancer metastases to bone.
She is an active member of the Endocrine Society who has served on the Society’s Board of Directors as well as several committees and task forces. She was a member of the Society’s Hypercalcemia of Malignancy Guideline Writing Committee and currently serves on its Bone and Mineral Special Interest Group.
Wu will begin her term as President-Elect following ENDO 2026, the Society’s annual meeting taking place June 13-16, 2026, in Chicago, Ill.

Endocrinologists are at the core of solving the most pressing health problems of our time, including diabetes, obesity, infertility, bone health, and hormone-related cancers. The Endocrine Society is the largest global organization of scientists devoted to hormone research and physicians who care for people with hormone-related conditions.
With more than 18,000 members in 133 countries, the Society serves as the voice of the endocrine field. Through its renowned journals and ENDO, the world's largest endocrine meeting, the Society accelerates hormone research, advances clinical excellence in endocrinology, and advocates for evidence-based policies on behalf of the global endocrine community.

Broad pay ranges in job postings linked to fewer female applicants
2026-03-06
ITHACA, N.Y. – Pay range transparency laws that are intended to promote pay equity can inadvertently deter women from applying for those positions, thus perpetuating gender gaps in the workforce, according to research from Cornell University.
“Across our four studies, we consistently found that women show a stronger preference for jobs with narrower salary ranges compared to men, and that this preference is associated with less assertive negotiation behaviors. In other words, the way these laws are being implemented may be perpetuating the very pay gaps they were designed to close,” said Alice Lee, ...
How to make magnets act like graphene
2026-03-06
The electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional materials both have strong potential for technological applications. Researchers have long assumed that they are distinct phenomena, but Illinois Grainger engineers have demonstrated that they share a mathematical language.
In an article recently published in Physical Review X, a team in The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign showed how to engineer two-dimensional magnetic systems to obey the same equations as mobile electrons ...
The hidden cost of ‘bullshit’ corporate speak
2026-03-06
ITHACA, N.Y. – Employees who are impressed by vague corporate-speak like “synergistic leadership,” or “growth-hacking paradigms” may struggle with practical decision-making, a new Cornell University study reveals.
Published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, research by cognitive psychologist Shane Littrell introduces the Corporate Bullshit Receptivity Scale (CBSR), a tool designed to measure susceptibility to impressive-but-empty organizational rhetoric.
“Corporate bullshit is a specific style of communication that uses confusing, abstract buzzwords in a functionally misleading way,” ...
Greaux Healthy Day declared in Lake Charles: Pennington Biomedical’s Greaux Healthy Initiative highlights childhood obesity challenge in SWLA
2026-03-06
Local elected officials and community stakeholders gathered on March 5 at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital to learn about Pennington Biomedical Research Center’s Greaux Healthy initiative. Greaux Healthy is an initiative by LSU’s Pennington Biomedical Research Center in partnership with the State of Louisiana focused on preventing and treating childhood obesity in Louisiana.
Lake Charles Mayor Marshall Simien, Jr. was onsite to present the group with a proclamation announcing March 5th as “Greaux ...
Into the heart of a dynamical neutron star
2026-03-06
Neutron stars harbor some of the most extreme environments in the universe: their densities soar to several times those of atomic nuclei, and they possess some of the strongest gravitational fields of any known objects, surpassed only by black holes. First observed in the 1960s, much of the internal composition of neutron stars is still unknown. Scientists are beginning to look to gravitational waves emitted by binary neutron-star inspirals—pairs of mutually orbiting neutron stars—as possible sources ...
The weight of stress: Helping parents may protect children from obesity
2026-03-06
New Haven, Conn. — In recent years, rates of childhood obesity have been rising, with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control estimating in 2024 that approximately one in five children and adolescents met the clinical definition of obese.
But preventing childhood obesity is a complex undertaking. While encouraging a healthy diet and adequate exercise have long been two strategies for reducing risk of obesity in children, Yale researchers have recently identified a crucial third: lowering parent stress.
A research team led by Yale psychologist Rajita Sinha has found that ...
Cost of physical therapy varies widely from state-to-state
2026-03-06
New Haven, Conn. — Physical therapy (PT) is used in the management of many medical conditions. But variation in rates paid by commercial insurers can contribute to high out-of-pocket costs, leading some patients to underuse or stop PT altogether. For many people, that means potentially poor rehabilitation outcomes.
In a new study, Yale researchers evaluated commercial payer-negotiated rates for outpatient PT services at a cross-section of hospitals across the United States. They found that costs for PT vary substantially based on location and insurance status.
“PT is used in the management of many acute and chronic medical conditions, ...
Material previously thought to be quantum is actually new, nonquantum state of matter
2026-03-06
Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum computation. But in the quantum realm, things are not always what they seem. A recent study, published in Science Advances and co-led by Rice University’s Pengcheng Dai, found that the material cerium magnesium hexalluminate (CeMgAl11O19) was not actually in a quantum spin liquid phase despite evidence suggesting it was.
“The material had been classified as a quantum spin liquid due to two properties: observation of a continuum of states and lack of magnetic ordering,” said Bin Gao, co-first author and a research scientist at ...
Employment of people with disabilities declines in february
2026-03-06
East Hanover, NJ – March 6, 2026 – The March 2026 National Trends in Disability Employment (nTIDE) report shows that employment of working-aged people with disabilities declined between January and February. While the country braces for the potential economic impact of the bombing campaign in Iran, people with disabilities are experiencing a weakening labor market. nTIDE is issued monthly by Kessler Foundation and the University of New Hampshire’s Institute on Disability.
Based on data from today’s BLS Jobs Report and separate nTIDE analysis, the employment-to-population ratio for people with ...
