AI is transforming clinical trials by predicting success with 90% accuracy. This could lead to fewer trials, better outcomes, and reduced trial times. Companies like OPYL, OpenAI, and Moderna are at the forefront of this AI-driven healthcare revolution. Using 20 years of past clinical trial data, OPYL can improve trial outcomes by 4 to 5 times, reducing costs and improving success.

Most research shows Mistrust in science increasing over the past decades and primarily driven by political polarization, amplified by partisan media and social media algorithms that spread misinformation, with variation observed across age, rural vs. urban populations, and political affiliations. Was it the nuclear bomb, or Rachael Carson, but mistrust is increasing rapidly.

Electrification promises up to 80% of all global energy requirements and can rapidly stop emissions. In this podcast, Lord Adair Turner points out efficient technologies such as heat pumps, electricity for heating water, air, and materials can rapidly change emissions. The focus shifts from energy consumption to energy services for better human welfare. Solar PV costs at 9 cents/watt and batteries under $100/kWh enable transition.

New research from Prof Ali Max reveals the COVID-19 spike protein can persist in the body for years, causing brain damage. The protein accumulates in the skull and meninges, leading to inflammation, neuronal damage, and neurodegenerative changes. Long COVID patients exhibit elevated levels of neurodegenerative markers. Vaccination can significantly reduce spike protein accumulation and long-term neurological effects.
Stroke is a major health issue, especially for those over 60. Statins lower cholesterol, stabilize plaques, and reduce inflammation, effectively preventing repeat strokes. However, evidence for statins preventing first strokes in the elderly, particularly those over 75, is weaker, leading to inconsistent guidelines.

The Human Cell Atlas project is revolutionizing our understanding of human biology with its 37 trillion cells and will transform medicine and healthcare. The Atlas provides not only the DNA, but where and how the RNA and control mechanisms operate
It is a testament to the power of collaborative research and the potential of big data to drive scientific discovery.
Rapid electrification is forcing gas network companies to seek higher fees by over $200m as they try to protect over $10 billion of stranded assets. As more households switch to electricity, the future of renewable gas remains uncertain. The energy transition challenges policymakers to protect both consumers and gas companies.

Renewables can supply 100% power, with several countries already achieving high percentages. They are cheaper than fossil fuels, despite rising energy bills due to external factors. While land use is less for renewables, the environmental impact of fossil fuels is significant. Job transitions from fossil fuels to renewables are underway, with potential growth in sectors like battery technology. Renewables offer economic, environmental, and job benefits over fossil fuels.
