Rewriting Alzheimer’s future together - a call to action for G7 countries
The world stands at a critical juncture in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. With life expectancy rising globally and more people living longer, the number of individuals affected by dementia is expected to increase in the coming years – and by 2050 will affect as many as 139 million adults globally.[i]This looming crisis demands immediate, coordinated action from governments, healthcare systems and society at large.
The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a micro-robotics platform.
Abstract Engineering small autonomous agents capable of operating in the microscale environment remains a key challenge, with current systems still evolving. Our study explores the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, a classic model system in biology and a species adept at microscale interaction, as a biological platform for micro-robotics. Initially, we focus on remotely directing the walking paths of fruit flies in an experimental arena.
Ukraine: A year in destruction
International Activity Report 2022 > Ukraine: a year in destruction On 24 February 2022, we awoke at night to the rumble of distant explosions, the sound of fighter jets dropping missiles on Kyiv, and the astonishing news that Russia was invading Ukraine. None of us knew what to expect. I had arrived four days previously to try to establish a network of contacts who could help us work if there was a major escalation in conflict.
Will we talk to the Taliban? Why not, we always have
As US forces withdraw from Afghanistan, putting an end to the longest war in US history, a new era has begun for a country that has seen invading forces come and go for centuries. The news has been dominated by the Taliban forces swiftly taking control of the provincial capitals and seizing Kabul unopposed, as well as the sight of western embassies packing up, Afghans desperately trying to leave, and many NGOs ceasing to operate.
[OPINION] Will we talk to the Taliban? Why not, we always have
As United States forces withdraw from Afghanistan, putting an end to the longest war in US history, a new era has begun again for a country that has seen invading forces come and go over the centuries. The news has been dominated by the Taliban forces swiftly taking control of the provincial capitals and seizing Kabul unopposed, as well as the sight of western embassies packing up, Afghans desperately trying to leave, the spectacle of foreigners fleeing en masse, and many NGOs ceasing to operate.

Window To A Vicious Underbelly -By Etudaiye Abdulmumin
As soon as the news filtered out. That the man has breathe his heart out. Perhaps the angel of death still nigh, unseen by souls whose time is not out. Yet the window flew open and what was seen was nothing even the devil can conjure up. What was revealed could have taken a lifetime to be unraveled. Yet in the morbidity that pervades I discovered I had an unfettered access to the innermost recess of the underbelly of Men. Before now, I could have vouched for their humanity.
Covid-19: Do Patients Recover Without Drugs or Vaccines? -By Ibrahim Abdulwasiu (ibwas)
Coronavirus disease 2019, shortened as COVID-19, is an illness caused by a novel coronavirus. The virus is also called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2; formerly called 2019-nCoV). The highly infectious virus comes from Coronaviridae family and is single-stranded RNA, with crown-like shape; thus, its name. However, the recovery of patients from the pandemic becomes unclear to many as no specific drug or vaccine is available against the virus.
The oxygen divide: Ventilators for Europeans, soap for Africans? -By Christopher Stokes
