The next global pandemic could be brewing on a mink farm in Utah – and little is being done to stop it | George Monbiot

Mink farms are the perfect petri dishes for deadly flu strains to emerge. Yet officials appear to be protecting business interests over human lives Could this be ground zero? Could it be the spot where the next pandemic begins? It’s certainly a candidate, not least because the chain of events that could trigger a plague far worse than Covid-19 looks like the opening sequence of a disaster movie. A really bad disaster movie, in which the levels of carelessness and turpitude defy belief. A report by the investigative news service ProPublica reveals that bird flu has been raging in a mink farm in

Why pharma firms are going to Earth’s orbit in search of new cancer drugs

A space capsule 300 miles above us is growing the tiny crystals of a potential cancer drug in microgravity Roughly 300 miles above our heads, three washing machine-sized capsules are orbiting the Earth. Inside one of them, tiny crystals of a potential cancer drug are being grown in the weightlessness of space. The others are testing heat protection materials and navigation systems for when the capsules plunge back through Earth’s atmosphere at hypersonic speeds. Together, they represent a small but significant step towards what some hope will become a lucrative new industry: manufacturing drug

A fake Einstein quote actually explains the affordability crisis

One of the most famous quotes commonly attributed to Einstein was something that he himself never actually said: “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn’t, pays it.” While the quote is not from Einstein at all, the math behind the concept of compound interest is incredibly profound, playing a role in any system — physical, mathematical, or financial — that accumulates based on how much of a base amount is present. When the base amount increases, it isn’t just the original amount (the principal) that continues to accumulate, but the ad

Kids who eat more ultra-processed foods show a troubling brain response

A new study suggests that ultra-processed foods may influence children's developing brains in ways that encourage weight gain. Researchers from USC studied 46 children ages 7 to 10 and found that those who ate more ultra-processed foods showed stronger activity in the brain's reward system when viewing tempting foods like cookies and French fries. These heightened brain responses were linked to greater increases in body fat and body mass index (BMI) one year later, suggesting that the brain's sensitivity to food cues may help explain why ultra-processed diets are associated with obesity.

A hidden star is plowing through Betelgeuse’s atmosphere, new evidence suggests

Something mysterious is disturbing Betelgeuse, and astronomers believe they have identified the culprit: a hidden companion star called Siwarha. New radio observations reveal that the smaller star may be plowing through Betelgeuse’s enormous atmosphere, creating disturbances that subtly stretch and distort the red supergiant’s shape.

Scientists trick cancer cells into making the drugs that kill them

Scientists have developed a promising new cancer-fighting strategy that uses carbon monoxide naturally produced by tumor cells to manufacture powerful drugs inside the cancer cells themselves. Early laboratory experiments suggest the technique could selectively attack cancer while sparing healthy cells, potentially paving the way for safer chemotherapy alternatives.

Gene editing could replace a lifetime of medication, but there's a catch

A single gene-editing treatment could someday protect against heart disease, high cholesterol, and other common conditions for decades, potentially replacing lifelong medications. But scientists warn that permanently altering genes introduces risks that could take years to emerge, making long-term safety a critical challenge.
