NIH plans heat up animal testing debate
WASHINGTON WATCH NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya elaborated on his strategic priorities for the National Institutes of Health on Friday — and drew criticism from some animal rights advocates. His strategy focuses on plans Bhattacharya and his boss, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have previously touted, like prioritizing nutrition research, advancing artificial intelligence, focusing on research reproducibility and shifting to solutions-based health disparities research. 'Taxpayer dollars are a finite resource, entrusted to NIH officials to invest in the nation's future,' Bhattacharya wrote in a statement published on NIH's website. 'By transparently establishing priorities and aligning our goals, we aim to demonstrate to the American public that we take this commitment seriously — and that we are doing all we can to honor their trust.' Falling short: But one priority area — moving away from animal testing in favor of alternative models and establishing an office to develop, validate and deploy those methods — was a sore point for animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. From PETA's vantage point, Bhattacharya's plan didn't go far enough. 'Dramatic change is essential, as we've seen how 'enhancing oversight' is a laugh-into-your-sleeve exercise, and 'considering non-animal methods' is a check box,' Kathy Guillermo, PETA's senior vice president of laboratory investigations, said in a statement. 'PETA urges him to remember that at the highest levels of the Trump administration, there are well-placed people rooting for NIH to break with career animal experimenters.' Animal testing state of play: In Congress, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has been a persistent critic of animal testing at the health agencies and co-sponsored 2022 legislation with Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) to permit drugmakers to use alternative methods to test their products. The health agencies have not shied away from the issue or from animal rights groups. Among the first policies that the NIH and the Food and Drug Administration announced this spring was a move away from animal testing for research and drug development. According to public calendar disclosures, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary met with PETA in July. WELCOME TO FUTURE PULSE This is where we explore the ideas and innovators shaping health care. The Pete & Bobby Challenge. HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth are challenging Americans to complete 50 pull-ups and 100 push-ups in under 10 minutes.

EXAM ROOM Health insurance companies pay vastly different prices for health services from one another— even when they're performed at the same hospital. Aetna and UnitedHealthcare, two of the largest health insurers in the U.S., negotiated rates for six inpatient procedures that varied by an average ratio of 9.1 nationwide, according to a report by health data analytics firm Trilliant Health. Sticker shock: The median rate for a coronary bypass — with no catheterization or major complications — is $68,194. However, negotiated rates ranged from $27,683 to $247,902. Rates even varied within the same health system. For example, Aetna pays $166,288 for a patient with diabetes to have major heart bypass surgery using a minimally invasive technique at Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia, while UnitedHealthcare pays about half that rate. The report also found no correlation between aggregate measures of cost and quality within a sample of 10 top-tier hospitals. Health systems that have similar quality in care might have wildly different negotiated rates for the same health services, according to the report. High-quality care? The data raises questions about whether insurers deliver the best value for patient care. 'It actually creates a fiduciary duty for the employers to be using this sort of information to make sure they're providing high-value health benefits to their employees,' said Allison Oakes, chief research officer at Trilliant Health, who worked on the report. She believes that this data could help reduce some price disparity. 'The hope is we start to see some of this variation in prices shrink, which, without changing quality or access, could actually reduce spending by quite a bit,' she said. Unintended effect: Ben Handel, professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley, agrees that this kind of price transparency could lead to negotiated rates homogenizing. However, it might not necessarily bring down prices, he said. 'The other potential scenario is it raises prices,' he said. He notes that insurers' incentives vary by context. For example, when administrating a self-insured plan — where employers directly pay health costs and insurers provide only the network — they earn a percentage of each claim. 'Raising costs makes you more money,' said Handel.

Canadian universities are adopting AI tools, but concerns about the technology remain
Canadian universities are embracing generative artificial intelligence in their teaching plans as more students and instructors opt to use the rapidly evolving technology. Several large institutions, including McGill University, University of Toronto and York University, said they are adopting certain AI tools because they can enhance learning. Those include tested tools that help students summarize academic research or assist professors in course planning. The shift comes as post-secondary students' AI use continues to grow. A survey conducted in late 2024 by the online learning platform Studiosity found that 78 per cent of Canadian students used AI to study or complete their school work. The Pan-Canadian Report on Digital Learning also found that the number of educators who reported generative AI use in student learning activities was 41 per cent last year, up from 12 per cent in 2023. McGill University's associate provost, Christopher Buddle, said the school has integrated digital AI assistant Microsoft Copilot into its systems to help staff, students and faculty with their work. The tool can be used to make a first draft of a letter, summarize online content or to organize day-to-day tasks. "People use it for all kind of things and from what I understand it's being used effectively and used quite a lot by our university community," he said. Buddle said offering generative AI tools through the school's IT infrastructure ensures they are vetted properly to address privacy risks and ensure data protection. "We've not approached it through the idea of banning (AI) or saying 'no.' In fact, what we'd rather see and what we support instructors doing and students doing is effective use of generative AI in teaching and learning," he said. Buddle said the university has left it up to instructors to decide how much AI use they want to allow in their classes. "We don't tell instructors what to do or not to do. We provide them tools and give them the principles and let them make the best decisions for their course because it's so discipline specific," he said. Some professors, for example, have their students use generative AI to create a first draft of a written assignment and then the students evaluate the outcome, Buddle said. The school is launching an online module for students and instructors this fall to help them navigate and understand the benefits and risks of AI in education, he added. "Generative AI is pervasive. It's everywhere and it will remain that way going forward," Buddle said. University of Toronto professor Susan McCahan, who led the school's task force on AI, said the institution is integrating AI tools but it's also taking a balanced approached that allows instructors to explore the technology while critically thinking about its value in education. "We have a wide range of opinions on AI and the use of AI in classrooms and in teaching and in learning," she said. "And we want to support faculty who are interested in innovating and using it in their classes. We want to support faculty who find that it is not useful for them or for their students." McCahan said the university has used AI systems for years, including for auditing financial reports and helping students find mental health resources. More recently, the school also made Microsoft Copilot available to all faculty, students and staff. "They can use in any way they wish. And because it's within our system, you can do things like open a library article in the library, and ask Copilot to summarize it," she said. "It doesn't share that data back with Microsoft ... so you can put in more sensitive information into that." McCahan said the university has also made ChatGPT Edu licences available to students and staff who would like to use the tool with added security protection. The school has been experimenting with AI tutors and will expand that in the coming school year with Cogniti, an open-source system developed at the University of Sydney in Australia, she added. At York University, the goal is "to take a thoughtful and principled approach to this modern technology," deputy spokesperson Yanni Dagonas said. "Transparency works to demystify AI, helping our community better understand its impact and potential," Dagonas said. The university has created an online AI hub with a dedicated section for instructors, who are discouraged from using AI detection tools when evaluating students' work because many such tools are considered unreliable and raise concerns about data security and confidentiality. Despite the "huge uptake" in students' generative AI use, many professors are still worried about bias in AI models, ethical and privacy issues, as well as the technology's environmental impact, said Mohammed Estaiteyeh, an assistant professor of education at Brock University. "Students are kind of using (AI) to save time. They think it is more efficient for various reasons," he said. But when it comes to instructors, "it depends on your domain. It depends your technological expertise. It depends on your stance towards those technologies," he said. "Many instructors have concerns." Estaiteyeh said most Canadian universities are providing guidance to instructors on the use of AI in their classes but leaving much of it to their discretion. "For example, (at) Brock, we don't have very strict guidelines in terms of students can do this or that. It's up to the instructor to decide in relation to the course, in relation to the materials, if they want to allow it or not," he said. "We are still navigating the consequences, we're still not 100 per cent sure about the benefits and the risks. A blanket, a one-size-fits-all approach may not suit well." Estaiteyeh said instructors and students need AI training and resources on top of guidance to reduce the risk of relying too much on the technology. "If you offload all the skills to the AI tools then you're not really acquiring significant skills throughout your three- or four-year degree at the university," he said. "Those tools have been in place for around two years only. And it's too early for us to claim that students have already grasped or acquired the skills on how to use them." The Canadian Alliance of Student Associations said AI technologies must complement the learning experience and universities should discourage the use of AI for evaluations and screening of student work. The alliance said in a report released earlier this year that research has shown untested AI systems can introduce "bias and discriminatory practices" against certain student groups. "For instance, AI-powered plagiarism detection tools have been found to disproportionately misclassify the work of non-native English speakers as AI-generated or plagiarized," the report said. The alliance has been calling for "clear ethical and regulatory guidelines" governing the use of generative AI in post-secondary education.

New Brunswick deficit forecast rises by almost 22 per cent to $668.7 million
FREDERICTON — The New Brunswick government is revising its budget deficit upward by almost 22 per cent, adding that "unstable trade conditions" and poor weather are casting a shadow over the province's finances. The province said its deficit is now projected to be $668.7 million for the 2025-26 fiscal year, up from the $549 million forecast in the March budget. Revenues are expected to be $59.6 million lower than forecast in the budget, and expenses are projected to be $60 million higher than the March estimate. The government estimates the province's GDP will grow by 0.9 per cent for the year — lower than the private sector forecast average of 1.2 per cent. Finance Minister René Legacy attributed the increase in spending to higher costs in health and long-term care, seniors, and child and youth welfare. 'We will not sacrifice investments in health and social development or addressing the very real affordability challenges New Brunswickers are facing in favour of only satisfying the bottom line,' he said. The U.S. tariffs imposed on some Canadian goods are negatively affecting the province's economic outlook, he said, adding that the effects are still unclear. "We're still very cautiously monitoring. We should have a better picture about the impact that tariffs and trade will have on our projections as we progress in the second and third quarters," he said. "Anecdotally, we certainly hear that … industry and companies are very cautious in investing and moving forward because they just don't know what to expect in the months to come." Legacy said the government is also keeping a close eye on how much weather events, such as wildfires, will cost the province. John Herron, natural resources minister, said Monday the wildfires have grounded the province's forestry sector to a halt. There are mills on the verge of running out of wood after the government banned forest harvesting amid extreme wildfire risk, he said. About 25 square kilometres of forested land have burned or are expected to burn so far. Giving a ballpark estimate, he said the amount of forest lost to fire represented about $10.5 million in direct and indirect taxes from the forestry industry and about $42.5 million in lumber revenue to sawmills. On Tuesday, Legacy told reporters the full impact of the wildfires will be known once they are put out. "At this moment, it's still within the boundaries of what we had budgeted." The government is also concerned about the drought-like conditions gripping Atlantic Canada. "God willing, we're not going to have more hurricanes or ice storms but the year is still very early."
