H5N1 Bird Flu Spreads to Mammals, Raising Pandemic Concerns
The H5N1 bird flu, initially impacting birds, has spread to dairy cattle and pigs, raising concerns about potential human transmission and mirroring previous pandemic failures. Although the current public health risk is low, insufficient preparedness and past mistakes put the US at risk.

Space Colonization: A Reality Check
Kelly and Zach Weinersmith's "A City on Mars" challenges the overly optimistic view of space colonization as a solution to climate change, arguing that leaving a warming Earth for Mars would be akin to escaping a messy room for a toxic waste dump; the book won the £25,000 Royal Society Trivedi scien...

EVs Pose Increased Winter Driving Risk Due to Longer Stopping Distances
Electric vehicles' increased power and weight create a significant winter driving hazard due to longer stopping distances on icy roads, even with all-wheel drive; this, coupled with a false sense of security, necessitates driver awareness and preventative measures like winter tires.

Canada's Productivity Crisis: The Urgent Need for Expanded Philanthropic Investment
The Bank of Canada declared a productivity emergency, urging increased investment in research and innovation. Philanthropy, while impactful (e.g., Killam Trusts' $1B+ disbursement), needs to significantly expand to close Canada's advanced degree gap (12% vs. OECD's 16%) and achieve needed 800,000 ad...
