(Canadian Medical Association Journal) One in 10 Canadians have problems affording medications they have been prescribed, and one in four people without drug insurance cannot afford to have their prescriptions filled, according to a study in Canadian Medical Association Journal.

(American Institute of Biological Sciences) A striking concordance between high-priority sites for terrestrial biodiversity conservation, provision of ecosystem services, and poverty of human populations is analyzed globally in spatial detail under a variety of economic assumptions. If the world’s poorest people were paid for ecosystem services by the beneficiaries, the benefits could be robust and substantial.

(Association for Psychological Science) Will borrowing money to buy a new car make you feel richer? It depends on your net worth, says a new study in Psychological Science, a journal published by the Association for Psychological Science. “People’s perceptions of wealth vary not only as a function of their net worth, but also of the amount of assets and debt they have,” says Princeton University psychology graduate student Abigail B.

(Burness Communications) Internet-based news and Twitter feeds were faster than traditional sources at detecting the onset and progression of the cholera epidemic in post-earthquake Haiti that has already killed more than 6,500 people and sickened almost half a million, according to a new study published in the January issue of the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.

(University of California – Santa Barbara) When UC Santa Barbara geochemist David Valentine and colleagues published a study in early 2011 documenting how bacteria blooms had consumed almost all of the deepwater methane plumes following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010, some people were skeptical. How, they asked, could almost all of the lethal gas emitted from the Deepwater Horizon well just disappear?
