'Perfect Storm': How Trump's Aid Cuts Are Fueling the Ebola Outbreak One health provider who works on the ground says that basic medical equipment like masks and hand sanitizers are in short supply due to funding cuts. As an Ebola outbreak rages in central and East Africa, public health workers say that the response has been stymied by the Trump administration's cuts to foreign aid and global health organizations. "We are no longer able to get some supplies," Amadou Bocoum, Democratic Republic of Congo country director for the anti-poverty nonprofit CARE, tells WIRED. "Because of that, we are not able to react immediately." Bocoum says that basic medical equipment like masks and hand sanitizers, as well as components necessary for testing, are in short supply due to funding cuts.

Professor Avi Loeb, head of Harvard University's Galileo Project, claims our first encounter with an alien invader won't resemble sci-fi movies like E.T or War of the Worlds. Rather than a biological, flesh and blood alien, Professor Loeb explains that we are more likely to be met by a'technological device guided by AI '. The arrival of such a device would pose a'potential threat to all earthlings', he claims - sparking political, economic, and spiritual chaos around the world. Professor Loeb told the Daily Mail that'the stock market may crash due to the uncertainty about the impact of the encounter on the future of humanity.'

Elon Musk loses case against Sam Altman over OpenAI's overhaul Elon Musk arrives at the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building for court in Oakland, California on April 30. A jury rejected Elon Musk's claims that OpenAI under Sam Altman's leadership betrayed its mission to benefit the public by morphing into a for-profit business, finding that he waited too long to sue the company. The verdict reached Monday in federal court in Oakland, California, follows a trial over the bitter feud between the entrepreneurs who worked together to launch the startup in 2015. OpenAI has since evolved into one of the world's most valuable and powerful artificial intelligence companies. "I think there is a substantial amount of evidence to support the jury's findings," U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers said when she accepted the nine-member jury's unanimous conclusion after about two hours of deliberations.

MV Hondius, the Dutch cruise ship hit by a deadly hantavirus outbreak, has docked at its final destination in Rotterdam. Only the ship's crew were aboard for the last leg of the journey, as all passengers docked off the ship in the Canary Islands between 10 and 11 May. Rotterdam port harbour master René de Vries said 25 mobile homes kitted out with catering and satellite communications would be available for the crew to self-isolate in. Three people - a Dutch couple and a German woman - died after travelling on the ship, with two of them confirmed to have had the virus. The World Health Organization has so far reported 10 cases in total, eight confirmed and two suspected.

CAR-T cell therapy is already a potent treatment for certain cancers. Now, a small study is showing early promise for managing HIV. A Miracle cancer therapy that involves engineering a patient's own immune cells is being repurposed for HIV, and early results from two individuals hint at its promise for long-term control of the virus. As part of a clinical trial, scientists took people's own immune cells and reprogrammed them in a lab to recognize and attack HIV in the body. After a single infusion of the modified cells, two individuals with HIV now have undetectable levels of the virus--one for nearly two years and the other for almost a year.

The work of Peter Aaby and Christine Stabell Benn has long been controversial. Until Robert F. Kennedy Jr. became US health policy chief, most vaccine scientists tended to ignore it. In 1996, Guinea-Bissau seemed like an ideal research post for budding pediatrician Lone Graff Stensballe. Her supervisor, a fellow Dane named Peter Aaby, had spent nearly two decades collecting data on 100,000 people living in the mud brick homes of the West African country's capital. Aaby and his partner, Christine Stabell Benn, believed that the years of research in the impoverished country had yielded a major discovery about vaccines--and what they described as "non-specific effects": The measles and tuberculosis vaccines, which were derived from live, weakened viruses and bacteria, they said, boosted child survival beyond protecting against those particular pathogens. But, the scientists said, shots made from deactivated whole germs, or pieces of them, such as the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) shot, caused more deaths--especially in little girls--than getting no vaccine at all.

ANA President and CEO Koji Shibata speaks during a news conference in Tokyo on April 30. Many major Japanese companies, namely electronics makers, enjoyed rosy earnings in the year ended in March thanks to significant artificial intelligence-linked investment worldwide, but they are looking ahead with caution amid high costs for fuel and materials spurred by the war in Iran. Chipmaker Kioxia saw its group net profit double from the previous year to an all-time high of ¥554.4 billion ($3.48 billion). President and CEO Hiroo Ota described the financial performance as a "historic feat." Kioxia benefited from rising demand for memory chips amid a rush to build more data centers due to the growing use of AI.
