'The end of the world as we know it': Is the rules-based order finished?

Al Jazeera

How much is US support for Israel costing Trump? What is a Palestinian without olives? Why are Gaza's homes collapsing in winter? 'The end of the world as we know it': Is the rules-based order finished? Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the quiet part out loud at the World Economic Forum: what many call the global rules-based order was either collapsing or had collapsed already.


Engineering better care

MIT Technology Review

A capsule that could replace insulin shots. In Giovanni Traverso's lab, the focus is always on making life better for patients. Every Monday, more than a hundred members of Giovanni Traverso's Laboratory for Translational Engineering (L4TE) fill a large classroom at Brigham and Women's Hospital for their weekly lab meeting. With a social hour, food for everyone, and updates across disciplines from mechanical engineering to veterinary science, it's a place where a stem cell biologist might weigh in on a mechanical design, or an electrical engineer might spot a flaw in a drug delivery mechanism. And it's a place where everyone is united by the same goal: engineering new ways to deliver medicines and monitor the body to improve patient care. Traverso's weekly meetings bring together a mix of expertise that lab members say is unusual even in the most collaborative research spaces. But his lab--which includes its own veterinarian and a dedicated in vivo team--isn't built like most.
