Europe prepares to benefit from Trump's Holy War against science and scientists by luring America's best and brightest scientific researchers. Europeans must cooperate to seize a once-in-a-generation opportunity to become the top destination for scientists, says Maria M. Mota go.nature.com/43KTTGV

Global average temperature is expected to rise to almost 2C above preindustrial in the next five years, according to the WMO, with falls in crop yields and more than a third of the world’s population being exposed to extreme heat. People, I'm sorry but we have to deal with this. Later is too late.

No matter how slippery the SpaceX fans get in their defenses ("you don't understand, we learned so much!") the fact is these tests are waaaaay past the "experiments sometimes fail" stage. These are tests of what's supposed to be a working design and build. But it doesn't work. It blows up.

Some scientists argue that aging is a disease that can and should be cured. This proposition is both intriguing and promising because it not only attempts to push the limits of science and medicine but also challenges aging as a social construct.

Here we have the Associated Press and a NYC government program effectively teaming up to uncritically spread questionable public health guidance.

In what is shaping up to be a huge day for democracy in the lower federal courts, at least, Judge Chutkan rules that the case against DOGE can proceed.

Michael “Mike” Nedd, a 30-year veteran of Bureau of Land Management who serves as deputy director for administration and programs, was removed Tuesday. He had reportedly told career employees to ignore a memo from an appointee of the U.S. DOGE Service.
