When we think of Isaac Newton, we think of an apple 🍎. He was born on the 4th of January! While we know that Isaac Newton discovered Gravity, he also made many other scientific discoveries. Newton is credited with discovering the three laws of motion 🚀.

The first issue of New Scientist for 2026 brings a sharp focus on to GLP-1 weight loss medications.
It suggests that weight-loss medications should get cheaper/more accessible (with expiry of semaglutide patents in many countries) and the approval of orforglipron which can be taken in a pill form.

Wonderful news to start the year.
A UCLH patient with beta thalassaemia has spent her first ever Christmas without needing to plan her life around blood transfusions after a gene-editing therapy has left her able to produce her own red blood cells.
