Our annual look at 10 Breakthrough Technologies—including CRISPR for high cholesterol, battery recycling, AI that makes images, and the James Webb Space Telescope—that will have a profound effect on our lives. Read about it in our latest issue.

Last night at the Gridiron Dinner in DC, maybe 10 feet from me and Sarah Gruen, a woman collapsed, hit her head on a table, and was laying on the floor without moving.

People gather trying to help, but no one is sure what to do. Someone goes to find a doctor.

They found one.

It is a complicated issue. But if you (and the GOP) won’t accept that 1) Russia interfered in the 2016 election through social media and 2) preventing that is a legitimate goal of the FBI, then you don’t belong in the nuanced convo on the balance between NATSEC and lawful speech.

I'm so tired of the 1880s again

I got two words for you, oak mazegill! Daedalea quercina is a brown rot polypore that mainly colonizes oak but has also been reported from beech, ash, and walnut. In case you needed more apparently the smoldering fruit bodies have been used for anesthetizing bees.

And another book is added to my reading list.

'Wild Embrace: Connecting to the Wonder of Ireland's Natural World' by Anja Murray is out today.

In it, Anja Murray takes us on a fantastic adventure of rediscovery. A hugely important, and simply delightful, book.

This is a problem I have seen since Tom Mann and I wrote It’s Even Worse Than It Looks in 2012. And what is so depressing is that nothing significant in the press has changed in more than a decade, even as the threat to the fundamentals of American democracy has mushroomed.

Everyone has opinions. Ground yours in facts.​ Understand the trends that will impact the economy, population, environment, and more in 2023.

Russia killed another Ukrainian hero😢Yana Rykhlitska was a volunteer and paramedic. She died near Bakhmut with other paramedics during evacuation of injured soldiers. The army of darkness takes lives of the brightest people 💔

@RonDeSantisFL Freedom is worth fighting for. That's why decent, well-informed Americans are united against your insidious fascism, Mr. DeSantis. We see your bigotry, your attempts to silence critics, your attacks on education and civil rights. Your mini-Putin crap won't fly in this country.

The Republican front runner, who instigated a coup against our government and our Constitution. has now said some of the craziest things he’s ever said, and directly threatened the national security of the United States and its allies in multiple ways in just one speech.
