Prof Alexis Jay, chair of public inquiry into child sexual abuse, says further national inquiry into grooming gangs isn’t needed & would delay action.
“The time has passed for more inquiries, we’ve had enough… We’ve set out action required & people should just get on with it, nationally & locally”

How Brain Cancer Exploits the Body’s Clock
The circadian rhythm regulates various bodily functions, including sleep and hormone release. Researchers discovered glioblastoma, a deadly brain cancer, synchronizes its growth with these rhythms, exploiting hormone surges like cortisol. Disrupting this synchronization slows tumor growth, suggesting that timing treatments could enhance effectiveness, paving the way for advancements in cancer therapy.

Breath-hold capacities and circadian dive rhythmicity shape optimal foraging strategies in a polar marine mammal, the Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii) - Communications Biology
Antarctic Weddell seals may strategically time their most extreme dives. Seals preferentially did not make their longest dives that push physiological limits at mid-day. This minimized surface time…
