health New clinical guidelines are expanding mental health screening in cancer survivorship care settings. This applies to cancer survivors across all oncology settings. About one in three survivors experience depression or anxiety after treatment completion. Unaddressed distress harms adherence to surveillance and increases cardiovascular risks. Structured psychological evaluations are now required throughout every survivorship phase. 😥
business Middle Eastern oil producers have started using 'dark' nighttime transits to bypass Iranian drone threats in the Strait of Hormuz. Saudi, Kuwaiti, Qatari, and Emirati companies are chartering tankers to turn off transponders for these routes. This strategy is helping maintain oil flow, averaging 8 to 9 million barrels daily through the strait. It shifts the risk burden to the US government and producers, buying time amid global energy worries. This workaround is a temporary fix until a permanent peace solution for the region is found.

science NASA is adding the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope to its fleet because it conducts fundamentally different science. The telescope will launch as early as August 30, 2026, and is designed to survey vast sections of the sky quickly. Over five years, Roman is expected to image more than 50 times the sky area Hubble covered in three decades. This mission will map galaxy distributions to test theories about dark matter and dark energy. Roman will act as a scout, feeding data to observatories like the James Webb Space Telescope for deeper dives.
science NASA cancelled the rescue mission intended for the Swift space observatory, which has been studying gamma-ray bursts since 2004. The mission involved Katalyst Space Technologies' LINK spacecraft, launched on July 3, 2026, to capture and stabilize Swift. Increased solar activity in 2024 accelerated Swift's orbital decay, pushing its likely reentry before the end of 2026. Problems with LINK's attitude control system forced NASA to abandon the capture attempt. LINK will now continue demonstrations to gather data for future satellite servicing missions. 🛰️
science Researchers at IIT Kanpur are investigating why certain people attract mosquitoes more than others. They are studying how mosquitoes detect humans through smell and the brain changes post-blood feeding at the Mehta Family Centre for Engineering in Medicine. The study focuses on the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which transmits diseases like dengue, with data from last year showing 1,21,824 dengue cases. Scientists found that body odour and chemical cues are crucial for attraction, suggesting certain substances might help lower bite chances. This research aims to develop targeted methods against mosquito-borne diseases in India. 🦟
