There was some general confusion and frustration yesterday over a federal “funding freeze” in the U.S. that could have had widespread impacts — but a judge has temporarily paused that order.
Researchers at Stanford developed a molecule that tricks cancer cells into self-destructing through genetic editing
Overcoming a major challenge with existing cancer treatments, researchers at Stanford just developed a new technique that uses a cancer tumor’s ability to rapidly evolve against it.
Instead of introducing new drugs or targets, their technique involves “switches” which enable engineered cells to outnumber cancer cells and then release a toxin that kills both the engineered and existing cancer cells.
So far, they’ve tested it with the most common form of lung cancer and are working to test it with other types of cancer.
Why is this good news?Currently, to overcome the resistance some cancer cells develop to survive treatments, doctors will use a combination of drugs to attack the cells in different ways. This kind of approach is especially limited for hard-to-treat cancers — so this new breakthrough is critical.

New technology is helping volunteers in Denver who shovel snow for their neighbors in need
For years, volunteers with the Denver Snow Angels Program have anonymously shoveled sidewalks for their neighbors in need who are physically unable to.
Now, their efforts are getting a boost thanks to new technology that automatically pairs people in need with a volunteer who lives close by.
The automated process allows volunteers to view a list of addresses in need, mark them as “in progress” when they get started, as well as note when the shoveling job is done.
The new technology is helping streamline the help — allowing more volunteers and people in need to connect.

What’s good?
I know that some folks are limiting the amount of U.S. political news they take in right now (understandably so) as a means of caring for their mental health — but they also still want to know what’s going on.
Do you like a quick, need-to-know-only “current events” recap at the top of the newsletter? Or would you rather it only be good news-related?
