💥 Trump's Iran move targets China and India too

US President Donald Trump is escalating his military campaign against Iran into a massive global economic chokehold. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced an "economic D-Day" using broad secondary sanctions against any nations supporting Tehran. This aggressive strategy targets third-country networks, aiming to sever all economic lifelines sustaining the Iranian regime. India faces trade disruption as UAE restrictions and US sanctions impact its exports, while China is Iran's main oil buyer. If Washington sanctions major Indian and Chinese entities, the conflict could escalate into a worldwide sanctions war. 🌍

Average Canadian life expectancy has increased by 22 years, reaching around 80 for men and 84 for women. However, the years spent in good health, or healthspan, has actually dropped to about 67 years in Canada. This gap means many people face nearly two decades with chronic illness or decline. McMaster University's new institute aims to close this healthspan gap through prevention and research. This effort seeks to improve quality of life by delaying disease onset for Canadians. 🧐

🔬 AI designs first working synthetic virus genomes

Researchers at Stanford University and the Arc Institute successfully used generative AI to design fully functional viral genomes. The team created 16 viable bacteriophages capable of killing E. coli using genome language models Evo 1 and Evo 2. They synthesized around 300 genomes based on the Phi X 174 template, with 16 proving fully viable. These synthetic viruses showed strong specificity and could target E. coli resistant to natural strains. This breakthrough offers a blueprint for designing new biological systems, raising ethical discussions.
