“In this gloomy political environment, this gives us hope.” For the first time, nations agreed on how to deal with pandemics - amid COVID fatigue and without the US. One researcher even says that the US exit galvanised everyone else www.nature.com/articles/d41... @childsmichelle.bsky.social
First global pandemic treaty agreed — without the US
The World Health Organization accord promotes sharing scientific data in exchange for more equitable distribution of drugs and vaccines.

Microscopes, test tubes and other research supplies are about to get more expensive thanks to Trump tariffs. “We're already doing quotes today that are 20% more than they were yesterday” www.nature.com/articles/d41... @nature.com @tinglongdai.bsky.social
Tariffs hit science labs: Trump levies raise cost of supplies
Import taxes on staples such as microscopes, glassware and computer chips will affect institutions already feeling financial strain.

Two parts of my life collided this week when I wrote about how marathons affect the brain for @nature.com. I have run 14 marathons so glad to hear I've flexed my myelin elasticity! www.nature.com/articles/d41...
How marathons change runners’ brains: scans point to surprise energy source
After the gruelling races, levels of the nerve-cell insulator myelin were lower, suggesting the brain uses the fatty substance as fuel.
