I'm trying to get people to stop shooting each other. That's it. Not many knew Utah's governor before the assassination of Charlie Kirk.Our nation is broken. But Spencer Cox has been on a yearslong crusade to heal American politics. I don't think it's hyperbole to say that the the future of our country is at stake. ...

in our area is not hurricanes or tornadoes or earthquakes. It is Lyme disease. It is the one plague that might be severe enough that communities might want to engineer a wild organism in order to get rid of it or at least reduce the level of lime.Last October, deep in the island's brush, we found MIT associate professor Kevin Esfelt, a pioneer in genetic engineering, waving a white flag in search of ticks. So, we just grab it. These tiny vectors of Lyme disease were not hard to find.And you just pop it in. ...

Project Overview - Scientists are exploring genetic engineering to reduce Lyme disease transmission by modifying wild mice to be immune to Lyme bacteria [2][3][8][9] - The project, "Mice Against Ticks," aims to interrupt the Lyme disease cycle without harming the mouse population or the broader ecosystem [9][10][17] Scientific Approach - Researchers are injecting an antibody gene into mouse embryos using CRISPR technology to create heritable immunity to Lyme disease [18][20][21] - The engineered mice would pass on the immunity to their offspring, speeding up evolution to combat the disease [22][23] Community Engagement and Ethical Considerations - The project emphasizes community involvement and transparency, seeking local approval before releasing engineered mice on Nantucket [3][23][24] - Concerns include potential unintended consequences on the ecosystem and the ethical implications of altering wild populations [26][28][29][30] Implementation and Future Plans - Initial plans involve releasing thousands of engineered mice on Nantucket, starting in winter when the native mouse population is low [23] - A small field trial on a private island is planned to assess ecological impacts before broader implementation [32] Lyme Disease Impact - Lyme disease affects 15% of Nantucket residents and can lead to severe health issues if untreated [4][13] - The island's environment, engineered by conservation efforts and deer introduction, has contributed to the high prevalence of Lyme disease [15][16]

The natural disaster in our area is not hurricanes or tornadoes or earthquakes. It is Lyme disease. Genetic engineers believe they found a way to slow the spread of the debilitating disease carried by ticks.It is amazing to see this. A look at something that's never been attempted. Genetically engineering wild mice to prevent people from getting sick.Do you worry about fooling around with mother nature. ...

I feel that that I've been really blessed as a as a person in my profession. It's a profession that it's a killer profession. It can be cruel. It can be almost inhuman like like a lot of other strong professions.It it certainly has its dark side, but if you play it right, it has a huge advantage. Not only the chance to feel that you're helping you're make you're bringing a gift to people that you make them feel a little bit better or question something or think that is a great use for me. But on a personal ...

Museum Overview - The National September 11th Memorial Museum, located seven stories underground at ground zero in New York City, aims to memorialize the events of 9/11 [2] - The museum project faced challenges including delays, funding battles, and a flood, but the primary challenge is conveying the horror of 9/11 without being unbearable [2] - The museum is located below the memorial plaza, which features two giant cascading pools in the footprints of the World Trade Center towers, surrounded by the names of 2,983 victims [3][4] - The museum is described as a museum *in* an artifact, emphasizing the sacredness of the location where the buildings collapsed [6] Content and Exhibits - The museum begins with the voices of people from around the world, remembering where they were when they heard about the attack, acknowledging the global impact of 9/11 [9] - Key artifacts include the "survivor staircase" and the "last column," remnants of the towers, around which the museum was built [11] - The museum includes a large projection showing the morning of 9/11, including the flight paths of the four planes [12] - Voicemail messages left by passengers and victims will be included with family permission, recognizing the emotional power of the human voice [13][14] Sensitive Content and Family Perspectives - The inclusion of images of people jumping from the towers was a sensitive issue, debated internally, with the decision to include an exhibit in an alcove with clear warnings [16][18][19] - The "heart of the museum" is a space devoted to honoring the victims with photographs lining the walls, representing nearly 3,000 faces from over 90 countries [19][20][21] - The museum acknowledges the diverse perspectives of the families of the victims, with varying opinions on what should be included, such as images of the perpetrators [25][26][27] Educational Goals - The museum aims to educate future generations about the events of 9/11, as many young people will not have firsthand memories of the event [29][30] - The museum also wants to showcase stories of heroism, selflessness, and unity following the attacks, including tributes to recovery workers and volunteers [28]

60 Minutes rewind. >> For the city of New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina was not so much a sudden calamity as a slow motion catastrophe. The whole country watched in agony as the flood waters rose and houses, neighborhoods, and society itself began to disintegrate along with the city's broken levies.60 Minutes correspondent Scott Py's been in New Orleans this weekend looking into how much of what happened was natural disaster and how much was man-made and avoidable. Well, >> all you guys got to take care of our ...
