The Brazilian seaside city in the grip of drug gangs Murders have fallen in Fortaleza in the north-east, but that may be because one mob is dominant and can extort at will

'Ceará, popular with holidaymakers for its idyllic beaches, has emerged over the past decade as an important cocaine export corridor, fuelled by drug-taking in rich countries. Contraband is shipped across the Atlantic via ports in or near Fortaleza, one of the closest points in S. America to Europe'

Longevity and ‘wellness’ craze breaks untested drugs out of the lab Health influencers promise an astonishing range of benefits from peptides, almost none of them tested in humans

“The reason we do randomised controlled trials is that it’s very easy to be fooled by a placebo effect,” he said. “If people are reporting a great effect, it’s unclear what is causing that. There’s no counterfactual to show whether the injury would have healed faster anyway, without the peptide.”

5 lessons from Vinay Prasad's turbulent tenure at the FDA Vinay Prasad's unique ability to attract criticism — even when his bosses, including the president, wanted him to keep his head low — did him in at the FDA.

"FDA official Vinay Prasad self-destructed last week. The FDA announced Friday evening that he would step down next month after a series of controversial decisions about vaccines and gene therapies. His unique ability to attract criticism (...) did him in."

Furious row erupts over Madrid site of one of Robert Capa’s most important pictures City council accused of sidelining Peironcely 10 campaigners who have tried for years to turn building into centre celebrating the war photographer’s work

'While the tenants have long since been moved to better accommodation, Madrid’s conservative city council has now abandoned the plans drawn up by its leftwing predecessor to turn the site into a space that commemorates Capa’s work and the bombing terror of the Spanish civil war.'

Tyrosine kinase targeting uncovers oncogenic pathway plasticity in Tasmanian devil transmissible cancers - The EMBO Journal Two transmissible cancers, Devil Facial Tumour 1 (DFT1) and Devil Facial Tumour 2 (DFT2), have caused a significant decline in the Tasmanian devil population. DFT1 is driven by ERBB, while DFT2 is dri...

Cool story showing that two pathways in Tasmanian transmissible facial tumor cells evolve therapeutic resistance by separate epigenetic and genetic mechanisms.

40 anos depois, a UE caiu em si Depois de quatro décadas a proibir a política industrial, Bruxelas descobre agora que não é possível fazer desenvolvimento económico sem ela.

'Tal como a Inglaterra, os EUA só abandonaram o proteccionismo alfandegário quando já eram a maior potência económica, tecnológica, financeira e militar. Mesmo assim, desde a 2 Guerra Mundial até hoje, o Estado federal foi sempre a força motriz por detrás dos desenvolvimentos tecnológicos de ponta'

New Perspective form Rory Maizels & me: "Gene regulatory networks: from correlative models to causal explanations"

Gene regulatory networks are supposed to give us mechanistic explanations of development, so why are we drowning in 'hairballs' of statistical correlations?

How Congress can restore the independence of US science Members must go beyond reinstating US government research spending and re-establish decentralized governance at the National Institutes of Health and other agencies.

The most impt change at #NIH and to US science this year is bigger than grant cancellations— it’s how the agency is governed.

For 75 years NIH has been largely independent of presidential control. That’s changed this year. New piece from me and @nataliebaviles.bsky.social in @nature.com

Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified The newly corroborated details suggest the woman was truthful about numerous aspects of her life.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...
