Severe flu seasons in recent years have brought to light a little-known danger of influenza infections in kids: a rare brain disease called acute necrotizing encephalopathy, or ANE. It’s a fast-moving condition usually triggered by the flu, causing sudden brain swelling. It’s thought that the virus prompts the immune system to go haywire. Affected children can go from having mild flu symptoms to seizures, coma or even death within days. Most are kids without any other health problems. Historically, the inflammatory disease is diagnosed in just a handful of children each year. But this past January and February, pediatric neurologists…
Hundreds of immigrant workers at a meatpacking plant in Iowa have lost their jobs and face deportation risks after their work authorizations, which were tied to their immigration status, were revoked following the Trump administration’s termination of a series of legal immigration programs. More than 200 employees at a JBS pork production facility in the city of Ottumwa began receiving letters of termination six weeks ago and having individual meetings with their employer, according to Otumwa Mayor Rick Johnson and Brian Ulin, a member and spokesperson of the United Food & Commercial Workers Local 230, which represents JBS workers in…

To understand Ethereum’s future, it helps to start with its creator, Vitalik Buterin. Before launching Ethereum in 2015, he saw blockchains not just as the foundation for digital money, but as tools for identity, coordination, public trust and more. In a 2021 interview on The Tim Ferriss ShowButerin described Ethereum as “dynamic and growing… an evolving creature.” That adaptive nature still defines the network today. On its 10-year anniversary, we asked voices from across the community: What might the next decade look like? Consensys: Ethereum as “Trustware” Founded by Ethereum co-creator Joseph Lubin, Consensys has been instrumental in shaping the…
Fourteen Western nations have joined France’s call on countries worldwide to recognize an independent Palestinian state, Paris’ top diplomat said Wednesday. The foreign ministers of the 15 countries late Tuesday issued a joint statement following a conference in New York, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, aimed at reviving a two-state solution between Israelis and the Palestinians. “In New York, together with 14 other countries, France is issuing a collective appeal: we express our desire to recognise the State of Palestine and invite those who have not yet done so to join us,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot wrote on…
The three-dayvisitearlier this month of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to the North Korean coastal city of Wonsan marked a noticeable intensification of a strategic relationship between the two neighbors. The sheer trappings of the visit—from lavish treatment at newly opened resort to a tete-a-tete aboard North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s yacht—sent that message. And it was accompanied by other symbols of tightening ties, from renewed rail and air flight links to ballyhooed visits of Russian tourists to the resort and thedispatchof North Korean artificial intelligence (AI) researchers to Russia. As a result of signing a treaty in June…
A subcommittee of the US House of Representatives has proposed reviving the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) China Initiative, a counterintelligence program aimed at curbing economic espionage and intellectual property theft linked to China. The proposal, embedded in the Fiscal Year 2026 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies (CJS) appropriations bill, aims to counter China’s alleged influence in American research, academia, and industry. According to the bill summary, the China Initiative would be reinstated to “counter China and maintain America’s competitive edge.” On July 23, a coalition of Chinese scholars and advocacy groups issued a letter to Congress condemning the initiative’s…
In a bid to quell mounting public uproar, President Donald Trump’s administration has asked two judges to unseal grand jury testimony tied to the sex trafficking indictments of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. In late-night filings Tuesday, U.S. federal prosecutors said releasing the records was warranted due to the “abundant public interest” surrounding Epstein, the disgraced financier who died in jail, and Maxwell, the British socialite serving a prison sentence. Trump, a Republican, had vowed to declassify Epstein-related files if reelected and accused Democrats of orchestrating a cover-up. Earlier this month, however, the Justice Department said a long-rumored Epstein client…
The European Union is weighing the suspension of Israeli access to research funding amid the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. While some EU member states view the move as a necessary step, others argue it either doesn’t go far enough or already overreaches. Since late May, more than 1,000 people have died trying to reach humanitarian aid in Gaza, according to United Nations figures. These staggering losses have intensified European calls for Israel to ease its blockade and lift stringent restrictions on aid delivery. In response, the European Commission on Monday proposed halting Israel’s participation in select parts of Horizon…
