Even in outwardly inclusive workplaces, LGBTQ+ employees face ‘invisible’ challengesAs science continues its evolution, discoveries and technologies can act like a master key that open doors leading to novel advancements. Artificial intelligence is one such key, making innovations possible by solving complex problems, automating tasks and enabling research that would have been impossible, or very time-consuming, without it. But do we want to do research on all topics, and shall we try the AI master key on every door? To explore this question, let’s consider the use of AI by genomics experts as an example. In recent years, genomics experts have added unbelievable depth to what we know about the world and ourselves. For example, genetics researchers have revealed facts about when certain animals and plants were domesticated. In another example, researchers used DNA from 30,000-year-old permafrost to create fertile samples of a plant called narrow-leafed campion. People are also reading...

Those we lost: Tulsa, state said goodbye to several noteworthy personalities in 2024 Importantly, genetic engineering has facilitated extraordinary advances in the treatment of complicated conditions, such as sickle-cell anemia. Thanks to AI, we are witnessing a dramatic increase in the pace and scalability of genomic exploration. But given the risks and possible consequences of AI use in science, should we rush headlong into using AI in all kinds of projects? One relevant example is research on Neanderthals, our closest relatives, who lived about 40,000 years ago. Neanderthals have been studied for several years now through genetic investigation of their fossils and their DNA. Genetic engineering can potentially use ancient DNA and genome editing methods to re-create a Neanderthal or aspects of a Neanderthal’s genetics and physiology. To do this, scientists could start by figuring out the DNA sequence of a Neanderthal by comparing it with the DNA of modern humans, because they are closely related. Then, scientists could use the gene-editing tool known as CRISPR to swap out parts of human DNA with Neanderthal DNA. This process would require a lot of trial and error and might not succeed soon. But based on what we know about genetics, if something is possible, AI can help make it happen faster, cheaper and with less effort. Scientists are excited about these developments because they could facilitate new discoveries and open up many research opportunities in genetic research. With or without AI, research on Neanderthals will proceed. But the extraordinary power of AI could give the final push to these discoveries and facilitate this kind of resurrection. At that point, the scientific community must develop norms and guidelines about how to treat these resurrected beings with dispositions very similar to humans. We would need to carefully consider their rights and well-being almost in the same way as when humans are involved and not as research subjects or artifacts of scientific curiosity. These ethical issues are discussed in more detail in a new paper published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence. A more holistic question to consider is: Should we prioritize the use of resource-intensive AI, researchers’ time and public funds to resurrect extinct beings? Or should we invest these resources into conserving species that are critically endangered today to prevent biodiversity from more degradation?India's former Prime Minister, who was also known as the 'architect of India's economic liberalisation,' passed away on Thursday. He breathed his last at the AIIMS New Delhi emergency ward, after being in ‘critical condition.’ Manmohan Singh retired from Rajya Sabha in April 2024. Despite his age-related illness, Singh attended some sessions of the Parliament on a wheel chair — in rare display of dedication by the 92-year-old academician and economic strategist. Manmohan Singh entered politics in June 1991 when he joined the Congress Party. He was appointed Finance Minister by then Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao. Manmohan Singh is known for introducing a series of bold reforms to revive and transform India's economy. Manmohan Singh's expanse of knowledge In addition to being credited for economic reforms and policies, Manmohan Singhnwas known for his witty speeches, in both parliament and interviews that set him apart from his contemporaries. Be it responding to criticism, or quoting French author Hugo for his maiden speech, the former PM's speeches weaved in former US Presidents' quotes, highlighting his vast knowledge. His knowlege of Urdu poetry is also known. Singh used to make his point by citing Urdu couplets in Parliament. In his maiden speech as Finance Minister in Parliament on July 24, 1991, Manmohan Singh famously quoted the French writer and politician Victor Hugo, saying, "No power on earth can stop an idea whose time has come." Thirty years later, on the anniversary of economic liberalisation on July 23 2021, Manmohan Singh recalled Robert Frost’s poem, “But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep”.
MANCHESTER, England-- Manchester City squandered a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Feyenoord in the Champions League on Tuesday after another calamitous performance from Pep Guardiola's stuttering side who have suffered an alarming slump in form. Erling Haaland scored either side of an Ilkay Gundogan strike for the hosts, who looked poised for victory aftera five-game losing streak in all competitions. But defensive blunders in the dying minutes allowed Anis Hadj Moussa, Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko to score as City dropped to 15th in the Champions League table on eight points. "We lost a lot of games lately, we're fragile and of course we needed a victory," Guardiola said as his side threw away the lead, with the English champions having been trounced 4-0 at home by Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday. "I don't know if it's mental. The first goal cannot happen and the second as well. After that we forget what happened, we were desperate to win and do well, we do well but don't win games." City have conceded two or more goals in six successive matches in all competitions for the first time since 1963 - a season that saw them relegated from the English top flight. They are also the first team in Champions League history to lead by three goals as late as the 75th minute but fail to win. "Difficult," said City defender Nathan Ake. "We played quite well, all under control, then things changed. We have to stay strong mentally, believe in ourselves, and stay together ... and make sure we get out of it. "The only thing we can do is fight back and stay strong ... When you're three-nil up, it feels like a defeat when you give up three goals at home." City parked in the visitors' end for much of the night and following several near misses in the first half, Haaland got the hosts on the scoresheet in the 45th by striking a blistering penalty kick past Timon Wellenreuther after he was fouled. TURNAROUND Gundogan doubled the lead in the 50th minute with a deflected low long-range shot before Haaland scored again three minutes later when he slid in to stab home a Matheus Nunes cross for his 46th goal in Europe's elite club competition. At that stage, it was all smiles among the Etihad crowd. Yet astonishingly, Feyenoord replied with three goals inside 15 minutes, first from Hadj Moussa, who pounced on a careless ball back from Josko Gvardiol in the 75th minute. Then Gimenez struck seven minutes later when he chested in Jordan Lotomba's cross, created from another wayward Gvardiol pass that had a furious Guardiola with his head in his hands for several minutes and Gvardiol tugging his shirt over his face. Hancko equalised in the 89th when keeper Ederson was beaten by Igor Paixao who sent over a cross for Hancko to head in. "It was an unbelievable evening," said Feyenoord boss Brian Priske. "To be 3-0 down around 75 minutes away from home and against the best team in the world and then to be able to pick up a really important point for us - an unbelievable result." City's Jack Grealish narrowly missed scoring a late winner but his deflected strike grazed the crossbar. The home fans booed their side after the final whistle. What could have been a massive confidence boost for Guardiola's struggling team now raises more questions ahead of their toughest test of the season yet, a clash with Premier League-leading Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. Defeat would leave City 11 points adrift of the Reds. Feyenoord, who are fourth in the Eredivisie, are 20th in the Champions League standings with seven points and among the playoff places with three games remaining in the first phase.
Walmart’s DEI rollback signals a profound shift in the wake of Trump’s election victoryIt is clear the next Trump administration will insist on a far better return on health care dollars if the nation is to come to grips with a debt of nearly $2 trillion. President-elect Donald Trump’s designation of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), coupled with his choice of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), sends an unmistakable message that profound and dramatic change will take place after Jan. 20. While Musk and Ramaswamy are looking at the federal government at large, considerable focus will be on Kennedy as it is a certainty that he will look quite closely at strategic health care issues. With more than 67 million Americans currently enrolled in Medicare, his actions will be closely watched. For the home health care industry, DOGE and Kennedy’s arrival as HHS secretary means it’s time to take stock and conduct a thorough and candid self-appraisal, asking the question, “Is this the best we can be?” Home health care is not a new concept. It was first introduced in the United States during the early 1800s, offering a range of basic medical and non-medical support services in the homes of individuals in need of care. It has much evolved since then, and today, friends or family members can be licensed and retained to offer a broad range of services, significantly reducing the need for costly hospital stays. However, given its importance, home health care is likely to be part of the Trump administration’s top-to-bottom review of HHS. Accordingly, the industry needs to examine its business model with the intent of examining the cost of caring and how best to offer the nation a better rate of return. One significant answer is value-based care. By practicing value-based case, this health care sector can seek to realistically cap rising costs, end fragmented care, and create more meaningful outcomes for the millions of Americans currently enrolled in home care. Far more than management jargon, value-based care dispenses with traditional accounting metrics often applied to health care. Rather, it focuses on the recipient’s overall well-being with the intent of preventing that fall, rescuing an individual from depression, or avoiding a lengthy hospital stay that too often leads to a dangerous infection. Value-based care is about proactively managing a recipient’s health at home, where they are most comfortable, familiar with their surroundings, and better disposed to accept treatment. It is no longer about waiting for an illness but preventing it. Who benefits? Everyone. Patients, caregivers, and health plans. This shift captures the heart of VBC: success isn’t about waiting to treat illness; it’s about promoting well-being every single day and enabling people to live with dignity, reducing the need for unnecessary medical interventions, and creating value that benefits everyone. When we succeed in keeping people healthier at home, everyone wins – patients, caregivers, health plans, and the U.S. Treasury. As Washington’s policies toward home health care begin to become apparent during the first quarter of 2025, this industry needs to take the initiative, proactively presenting the HHS with a strategy that demonstrates its ability to transform itself into a far more cost-efficient model without losing the empathy with the home care patient that lies at the core of its success. Company owners need to dismantle management silos, allowing providers, specialists, and health plans to work together, sharing data to reduce costs while maintaining the level of care that protects and enhances the quality of life of those in their care. We know this much. Throughout his presidential campaign Donald Trump said he would re-enter the Oval Office with the intent of looking at every aspect of our federal government for the purpose of making it work smarter, cheaper, and far more effectively. DOGE plus his nominee for HSS are an indication of just how serious Mr. Trump will be in re-examining the means and money required for the health and well-being of America. The home health care community needs to hear and heed this coming revolution in how Washington approaches this all important sector. It will either have the vision to embrace value-based care or it will have it dictated to it by unprecedented federal directive.

Schieffelin finished with 18 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists for the Tigers (6-1), leading four players in double figures. Chase Hunter added 17 points, while Chauncey Wiggins scored 14 and reserve Del Jones chipped in 10 points. Clemson sank 9 of 19 3-pointers, converted 16 of 20 free throws and was able to limit the impact of the Nittany Lions' full-court pressure. The Tigers committed just 13 turnovers, helping them hold Penn State (6-1) to less than 85 points for the first time this year. Ace Baldwin starred in defeat with game highs of 20 points and 11 assists, while center Yanic Konan Niederhauser added 14 points. Nick Kern came off the bench to score 11 but Penn State was outscored 15-2 on the fast break and made just 4 of 18 attempts from 3-point range. Schieffelin came up big down the stretch, assisting on a 3-pointer by Jaeden Zackery with 6:04 left that made it 65-61. Then he made two foul shots and tossed in a jump hook from the lane to up the margin to 71-66 with 1:03 left. The big storyline going into this game was which team would be able to control the pace. Penn State came in averaging 96 ppg, while Clemson demonstrated its ability to enforce a slower tempo in March, advancing to a regional final in the NCAA Tournament. In the first 10 minutes of the game, the Tigers made the Nittany Lions play at a crawl, opening up a 17-10 advantage when Schieffelin converted a short hook in the lane. But Penn State answered with an 18-4 run over nearly six minutes, establishing a 28-21 lead when Kern shook free for a layup. Clemson rallied with nine straight points but the Nittany Lions had the last say as Baldwin converted a layup with 24 seconds left, cutting the Tigers' edge to 38-36 at halftime. --Field Level Media
