The pandemic is not over, despite some proclamations to the contrary. The good news is that we now have some effective therapeutics that are helping drive fatality rates down.

Paxlovid is not an option for everyone, though. And SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID, has the potential to evolve resistance to it. The world desperately needs more options to ensure we stay ahead of the virus. Now a new…

Deep in Antarctica’s frigid interior, fluffy, air-filled snow accumulates layer by layer, compacting into slabs of ice over millennia. Paleoclimatologists have long flocked to the remote continent to drill down several kilometers, retrieving cylinders of that ice that span hundreds of thousands of years of Earth’s history—a bit like vertical tree rings. The ancient air bubbles locked in these ice cores hold a crucial key to understanding how atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have affected surface temperatures throughout the past. This is about as close to time travel as scientists can get. Now teams of paleoclimatologists in Europe, Australia and the…

However, whether these organoid grafts can functionally integrate with the visual system of injured adult brains has yet to be explored. “We focused on not just transplanting individual cells,…

Born to Rise by Lorna Blake It’s fitting that Lorna Blake, at the very beginning of her memoir, Born to Rise, tells a story about her mother as a little girl.

You can really never guess what she’ll wear next. Some days she embraces bohemian classics, whilst on other…
