Moderna had designs on releasing a combined influenza and covid-19 vaccine after some promising trials, but this week the drugmaker said it would withdraw its application seeking approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the time being, according to a report from Reuters—the latest indication that Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vaccine skepticism has fully infected the federal government. Moderna isn’t giving up on the combo shot entirely

Intraterrestrials: Discovering the Strangest Life on Earth Karen G. Lloyd Princeton University Press (2025) Is there such a thing as a ‘beach read on microbial thermodynamics’? That was how Karen Lloyd, the author of Intraterrestrials, informally billed her book when talking to her friends in science (including myself) — and at a beach-bag-friendly 200 pages or so, this lively and compulsively engaging book is an unusual page-turner. Lloyd, a geomicrobiologist, expertly guides readers who have

Participants For all experiments, we recruited participants through word of mouth and campus mailing lists. They were naïve as to the purpose of the study, had normal or corrected-to-normal vision, and received monetary compensation for their participation. Before starting the first session, they provided informed written consent. Nobody besides a research assistant and the participant were present during the data collection. Experimenters were blinded to the experimental conditions and the stu

When a $130M aerospace company chooses to endlessly abuse free trials instead of typing git pull, you start to question gravity, or at least common sense. 🚀 Of trials and tribulations Open Source is beautiful. Messy, thankless, powerful — and occasionally just plain weird. At Vates, we’ve already shared some of the pain points that come with maintaining open source projects (see: OSS maintainer fatigue). And more recently, the rise of AI-assisted fake contributions and “security reports” has

In January, the Chinese company Deepseek released a reasoning AI model, called R1, that performs comparably to OpenAI's GPT-4o Turbo model on certain AI benchmarks but was developed with fewer resources at a much lower cost. Marc Andreessen called it “one of the most amazing and impressive breakthroughs I’ve ever seen,” even as NVIDIA’s stock plummeted by 17 percent — the largest ever one-day loss for a U.S. company. While China’s AI competitiveness may have blindsided the tech world, the pharm

Credits Karen G. Lloyd is the Wrigley Chair in Environmental Studies and professor of Earth science at the University of Southern California. This essay is adapted from her forthcoming book “Intraterrestrials: Discovering the Strangest Life on Earth” (Princeton University Press, 2025). The way to spot a cold methane seep on the ocean floor is to look for the life that gathers around it, like antelopes at a savanna watering hole: clams, mussels, crabs, shrimp, fish, sea anemones and creepy, othe

The case for Ozempic as a dementia buster is building. Research published this week has found that GLP-1 drugs are associated with a lower risk of dementia in people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers in Ireland led the study, a review of the existing evidence. Compared to controls (like other forms of medication or a placebo), people on GLP-1 therapy were significantly less likely to be diagnosed with dementia, the researchers found. Other scientists and pharmaceutical companies have already be

Implanted BCIs are electrodes put in paralyzed people’s brains so they can use imagined movements to send commands from their neurons through a wire, or via radio, to a computer. In this way, they can control a computer cursor or, in few cases, produce speech. Recently, this field has taken some strides toward real practical applications. About 25 clinical trials of BCI implants are currently underway. And this year MIT Technology Review readers have selected these brain-computer interfaces as

You never hear “100%” in medicine. The trial was the most successful we’ve ever seen for HIV prevention. The drug was safe, too (it’s already approved to treat HIV infections). And it only needed to be injected twice a year to offer full protection. This week, the results of a small phase I trial for once-yearly lenacapavir injections were announced at a conference in San Francisco. These early “first in human” trials are designed to test the safety of a drug in healthy volunteers. Still, the r
