A biotech start-up, Loyal, has made progress in developing an anti-aging pill for dogs. The FDA has certified the pill, LOY-002, as having a "reasonable expectation of effectiveness" in extending the lifespan of senior dogs. The pill is intended for dogs 10 years or older and weighing at least 14 pounds. While the FDA still needs to confirm the drug's safety and manufacturing process, Loyal's pill may soon become a reality, bringing hope to dog owners who want to extend their pets' lives. The company is conducting trials, and if approved, the pill would be a significant milestone in extending canine life expectancy without altering appetite or requiring significant lifestyle changes.

Chris Kresser, a health expert, discusses the benefits of collagen in a podcast episode. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, providing strength and elasticity to skin, hair, nails, bones, joints, and connective tissues. The modern diet often lacks collagen, leading to a rise in collagen supplementation. Research suggests that collagen has various health benefits, including: 1. Natural beauty: Collagen can improve skin elasticity and hydration, reduce wrinkles, strengthen nails, and support hair growth. 2. Joint and bone health: Collagen can help rebuild cartilage, reduce joint pain and stiffness, and improve bone density. 3. Muscle recovery and performance: Collagen can support muscle tissue and connective tissue recovery, aid post-exercise repair, and improve muscle mass or strength. 4. Gut and sleep health: Collagen's amino acid glycine can support a healthy gut lining, improve digestion, and promote better sleep quality. Kresser shares personal anecdotes and clinical experiences, highlighting the benefits of collagen supplementation. He also discusses the mechanisms behind collagen's effects, including the absorption of collagen peptides and the signaling of skin cells to produce more collagen. Kresser emphasizes the importance of choosing a quality collagen supplement, considering factors like grass-fed collagen and proper labeling. Overall, the episode provides an in-depth look at the science behind collagen and its potential health benefits, making it a valuable resource for those considering collagen supplementation.

The UK's high visa costs are deterring international scientists and researchers from working in the country, according to the Royal Society. The costs, which can be up to 17 times higher than in other leading science nations, are making it harder for Britain to attract global talent and fill its skills gap. A cancer research laboratory in Scotland took over a year to find a senior scientist due to the high visa costs, which include an upfront charge to access the UK's state-run health service. The fees have increased as successive governments aim to cut record net migration, but scientists and lawmakers warn that this policy is undermining efforts to grow the economy and attract top researchers. The Royal Society estimates that the UK's specialist route for researchers and innovators, the Global Talent Visa, is the most expensive among comparable visas in 18 leading science nations.

Higher education leaders are speaking out against the Trump administration's demands, which they see as an attack on their independence. Harvard University's president, Alan Garber, has refused to accept the administration's proposed agreement, and Wesleyan University's president, Michael Roth, has written about the need to preserve diversity, equity, and inclusion. However, many other college leaders are waging their own battles against the administration's policies, often quietly and strategically. In a members-only newsletter, The Sandbox, anonymous college presidents have shared their experiences and challenges under the Trump administration, including feeling pressured to speak out publicly and facing criticism from their predecessors. They have also expressed fears about the future of higher education and the consequences of speaking out, including the potential loss of federal research funds and punishment from state legislatures and boards of trustees. Despite these challenges, the presidents remain committed to protecting their institutions and promoting academic freedom.

The Trump administration's early actions in higher education have closely mirrored recommendations from conservative think tanks, such as the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025. In the first 85 days, Trump has cracked down on diversity and inclusion efforts, gutted the Education Department, and deported hundreds of international students. Nearly one-third of Project 2025's higher education policy recommendations have been executed, including plans to reform the student loan system and roll back consumer protection regulations. Experts expect more substantial policy changes, including overhauling accreditation and potentially closing the Education Department. The administration's actions have caused chaos and uncertainty in higher education, with many experts warning that the damage will take years to repair.

The article describes the design of an observatory space in Yishala Village, located in the Panxi Valley. The design takes inspiration from the village's traditional architecture, with terraced fields and courtyard dwellings. The observatory is composed of four small-scale units connected by stairs, corridors, and bridges, which translates the traditional charm into modern architectural language. The construction of the observatory features rough concrete, which was chosen due to limited investment and the inability to subcontract professional teams. The rough concrete gives the building a rugged and free appearance, as if it was born from the valley. The design also incorporates sunlight as a material, with the concrete walls serving as a canvas for the sun's rays. The roofs overhang irregularly, creating sharp shadows on the facade, and the gaps between the roofs project light bands onto the walls and floors, which change shape as time passes. The public spaces in the observatory are semi-outdoor environments, with irregular openings that emphasize the connection to the outside. The design allows visitors to experience the sunlight and the surrounding landscape, creating a unique and immersive experience.
