Trans researchers face career crossroads amid funding cuts
Medical student Tyler Harvey’s experience illustrates a broader crisis: dwindling research grants are prompting early‑career trans and non‑binary scientists to reconsider their futures, with many fearing loss of mentorship and career progression. STAT News reports that the funding squeeze coincides with heightened anxiety about job security in biomedical fields.

FDA’s revolving‑door reforms lag behind industry ties
The Food and Drug Administration’s post‑employment rules are under fire for failing to curb the “revolving door” that lets senior regulators move into lucrative industry positions, eroding public confidence. STAT News argues that current Section 207 provisions lack teeth, allowing former officials to influence policy while later benefitting from the very decisions they helped shape.

Seniors unplug health‑tech over privacy worries
A 72‑year‑old former accountant disconnected his smart glucose monitor after opaque data‑sharing practices left him uncertain about who could view his health metrics. IEEE Spectrum highlights that despite strong technical knowledge, many older adults find privacy settings buried and incomprehensible, prompting a wave of device abandonment that undermines potential health benefits.

GLP‑1 drugs stumble in Alzheimer’s trials
Two large‑scale studies found that GLP‑1 agonists, once heralded as “wonder drugs” for neurodegeneration, did not slow cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s patients, delivering a “very disappointing” outcome for researchers. ScienceNews notes that despite promising pre‑clinical data, the trials underscore the complexity of translating metabolic therapies to brain health.

Time‑of‑day may boost cancer immunotherapy success
A meta‑analysis suggests that administering immune‑checkpoint inhibitors before 3 p.m. improves survival, likely due to circadian fluctuations in immune cell activity. The Scientist reports that aligning treatment schedules with patients’ biological clocks could become a simple yet powerful precision‑medicine strategy.

Exercise’s direct link to lower cancer risk clarified
New research identifies a clear mechanistic pathway: physical activity modulates hormone levels and reduces inflammation, thereby diminishing the cellular environment that fosters tumor growth. ScienceAlert emphasizes that the findings provide a concrete biological explanation for decades of epidemiological evidence linking exercise to cancer prevention.

Rising refusal of newborn vitamin K shots sparks concern
Although vitamin K injections have prevented fatal intracranial bleeds for over six decades, recent surveys show an 80 % surge in parental refusals, driven by misinformation and vaccine‑skeptic sentiment. Scientific American warns that this trend could reverse decades of progress in neonatal hemorrhage prevention.

Supermassive black hole unleashes record‑speed winds
Astronomers using ESA’s XMM‑Newton and XRISM telescopes captured a dramatic X‑ray flare from the galaxy NGC 3783, followed by ultra‑fast winds racing outward at 37,000 mph—about one‑fifth the speed of light. ScienceAlert first reported the “UFO‑like” flare, while Popular Science provided detailed measurements, together confirming the first real‑time link between a black‑hole burst and wind formation.

Voyager 2 may have snagged Uranus at a pivotal moment
Reanalysis of Voyager 2 data suggests the probe observed Uranus during a rare atmospheric event, offering clues that could resolve a four‑decade‑old mystery about the planet’s tilted magnetic field and seasonal dynamics. ScienceAlert highlights the serendipitous timing, which may reshape models of ice‑giant weather cycles.

Food and fossil‑fuel production inflicts $5 bn hourly environmental damage
A United Nations GEO assessment warns that current global production of food and fossil fuels generates roughly $5 billion of environmental harm each hour, urging immediate systemic reforms to avert irreversible climate collapse. The Guardian frames the findings as a stark call for transformative governance and economic redesign.
