Call for Genocide of Jews Sparks Outrage A bipartisan group of members of Congress has called for the immediate removal of university presidents following their controversial remarks during a congressional hearing. The remarks in question involved the presidents’ response to questions about whether calling for the genocide of Jews violated their university’s policies. Unacceptable Rhetoric The members of Congress expressed deep concern over the presidents’ failure to unequivocally condemn calls for the systematic murder of Jews. They argued that such rhetoric had no place in any context and that the failure to address it appropriately was highly alarming. The bipartisan…

Successful Landing The highly anticipated moment arrived as Mission Recovery Operations announced, “We have touchdown!” The Osiris-Rex capsule touched down three minutes earlier than expected, causing excitement among officials. The landing was confirmed to have occurred off the coast of California at 10:42 a.m., exactly as planned. Parachute Surprises Surprising everyone, the orange striped parachute opened at a remarkable height of 20,000 feet (6,100 meters). This was four times higher than initially anticipated, based on the deceleration rate. The drogue parachute provided stability upon entering the atmosphere, followed by the deployment of the main parachute, which slowed the capsule down…
Mission Extended to 371 Days After what was supposed to be a 180-day mission, astronaut Rubio has returned to Earth after spending an astonishing 371 days in space. This makes his mission over two weeks longer than Mark Vande Hei’s previous record. Regrets and Reflections In a recent press conference from the International Space Station (ISS), Rubio expressed his surprise at the extended duration of his mission. He admitted that had he known the length beforehand, he may have declined the opportunity due to family commitments. “If they had asked me upfront before you start training, I probably would’ve declined,”…
Review Process Extended into Next Year, Anti-Tobacco Groups Concerned White House officials have announced that they will need more time to review the comprehensive plan proposed by U.S. health regulators to ban menthol cigarettes. This unexpected delay has raised fears among anti-tobacco groups that the long-awaited rule may be in jeopardy. The process, according to an updated regulatory agenda posted online, is now expected to continue into next year, with March being targeted as the implementation date. Previously, it was widely anticipated that the rule would be published either in late 2023 or early January. The Food and Drug Administration…
Background and Context While the public has been captivated by the trial of accused cryptocurrency scam artist Sam Bankman-Fried, a massive antitrust trial against Google is unfolding in a federal courtroom in Washington, D.C. However, this trial has largely gone unnoticed due to its mind-numbing technical arguments and the fact that much of it has been conducted behind closed doors. Secrecy at Google’s Behest Judge Amit P. Mehta, largely at Google’s request, has allowed the trial to be conducted in secret. Hundreds of crucial documents and hours of testimony have been submitted and conducted behind closed doors. The judge has…
Images provide insight into atmospheric phenomena on Mars On Perseverance’s 899th day on Martian soil, the rover’s Navcams captured a series of 21 pictures, showcasing a mesmerizing dust devil in motion. These images, taken four seconds apart, were then compiled and sped up 20 times to highlight the phenomenon’s movement. Dust devils on Mars, as described by NASA, are smaller and less powerful compared to tornadoes on Earth. However, they play a crucial role in redistributing dust across the planet’s surface. Scientists frequently study these atmospheric phenomena to gain a deeper understanding of Mars’ atmosphere and enhance current weather models.…
NASA ensures long-term health of Psyche spacecraft NASA has announced that the team working on the Psyche spacecraft has adjusted the parameters for its nitrogen cold gas thrusters. The change was necessary due to warmer temperature predictions for the thrusters. These thrusters play a vital role in controlling the spacecraft’s orientation and momentum management, as well as supporting its science, power, and thermal demands. Operating the thrusters within the temperature limits is deemed “essential” for their long-term health. The adjustment in parameters allows NASA to complete necessary verifications before the spacecraft embarks on its mission to study the asteroid Psyche,…
NABE Survey Predicts Slower Growth and Increased Inflation The U.S. economy, which has been experiencing strong growth in the third quarter, is expected to face a significant slowdown next year, according to a survey conducted by the National Association of Business Economics (NABE).

The NABE Outlook Survey Panel, including NABE President Ellen Zentner, chief U.S. economist at Morgan Stanley, highlighted the anticipation of stronger economic growth projections for 2023 compared to previous surveys. However, the panel also…
Breakthrough Treatments Offer Hope for Black Patients Regulators have granted approval for two groundbreaking gene therapies designed to treat sickle cell disease. This inherited blood disorder predominantly affects Black individuals in the U.S. The treatments, which consist of one-time therapies, are targeted at patients aged 12 and above who suffer from severe forms of the disease. The first therapy, developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics, is the inaugural therapy of its kind based on CRISPR, the Nobel Prize-winning gene editing tool. The second therapy, created by Bluebird Bio, takes a different approach. Addressing an Unmet Need Dr. Nicole Verdun…
Legalization without a Sales Scheme Ohioans woke up on Thursday to a peculiar situation regarding recreational marijuana use. While adults can now legally grow and possess cannabis at home, they cannot legally buy it. This mixed message stems from the lack of parameters set for Issue 2, the citizen initiative approved by voters in November. Republican Governor Mike DeWine urged lawmakers to quickly establish regulations, but the Ohio House adjourned without taking any action. The Voters’ Wishes to be Respected Despite the absence of a legal sales scheme, Representative Jamie Callender emphasized that growing marijuana at home and possessing it…
