Lakewood-Amedex Biotherapeutics CEO Kelvin Cooper joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a significant clinical milestone for the company, confirming that the first patient has been dosed in its Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating Nu-3 for the treatment of mildly infected diabetic foot ulcers. Cooper said the initiation of patient dosing marks an important step forward in the development of Nu-3, a topically applied antimicrobial gel that forms part of the company's proprietary Bisphosphocin® platform. The technology is designed to rapidly eliminate microbes directly at the site of infection while addressing one of the most pressing challenges in healthcare today—antimicrobial resistance (AMR). According to Cooper, Nu-3 has been developed as a fast-acting, broad-spectrum antimicrobial treatment that could provide a targeted alternative to conventional therapies by reducing microbial burden locally without relying on traditional systemic antibiotics. The Phase 2a study is designed to evaluate both the safety and efficacy of Nu-3 while helping determine the optimal dose for future clinical development. The multicenter, single-blinded, dose-finding trial is enrolling adult patients with either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes who are suffering from mildly infected diabetic foot ulcers, a common and often difficult-to-treat complication of diabetes. Researchers will assess three different concentrations of the Nu-3 gel—2%, 5%, and 10%—to evaluate their ability to reduce infection and improve patient outcomes. The study will examine key endpoints related to safety, infection resolution, and reductions in microbial burden within the ulcer. Cooper noted that diabetic foot infections remain a significant healthcare challenge globally, often leading to prolonged treatment, hospitalization, and, in severe cases, amputation. The company believes Nu-3's localized antimicrobial approach may offer an important new option for patients while helping reduce reliance on conventional antibiotics. Topline results from the Phase 2a study are expected during the first quarter of 2027. If successful, Lakewood-Amedex plans to advance the program into a Phase 2b clinical trial. Cooper said the first patient dosing represents more than just the start of a clinical study—it is an important validation of the company's broader Bisphosphocin® antimicrobial platform and its potential role in addressing infectious diseases in an era of increasing antibiotic resistance. #proactiveinvestors #lakewood-amedex #nasdaq #labt #KelvinCooper #Biotech #AntimicrobialResistance #AMR #ClinicalTrials #Phase2 #DiabeticFootUlcers #InfectiousDiseases #DrugDevelopment #Biotechnology #Healthcare #MedicalResearch

“L'Italia torna al nucleare”: ma cosa significa davvero? Il Senato ha approvato definitivamente la legge delega sul nucleare sostenibile, che avvia un percorso per definire le regole necessarie alla realizzazione e alla gestione delle centrali. In questo video facciamo chiarezza su cosa prevede la legge, quali sono i prossimi passaggi, quanto tempo ci vuole per costruire una centrale nucleare e quali questioni restano ancora aperte: dalla scelta dei siti alla gestione dei rifiuti radioattivi, fino alle nuove tecnologie come SMR e AMR. Ripercorriamo anche la storia del nucleare in Italia e i referendum del 1987 e del 2011, per capire perché oggi il Paese è tornato a discuterne.

Au sommaire de cette spéciale Rendez-Vous de la Bande Dessinée d'Amiens 2026 : Rencontre avec la bédéiste Emil Ferris (Moi, ce que j'aime, c'est les monstres – Editions Monsieur Toussaint Louverture), invitée d'honneur et autrice de de l'affiche des Rendez-Vous de la Bande Dessinée d'Amiens 2026 ; Retour sur l'édition 2026 des Rendez-Vous de la Bande Dessinée d'Amiens 2026 ; Évocation de deux albums parus aux éditions Rue de Sèvres, à savoir, L'Enfance des ruines de Pascal Rabaté et AMR de Simon Hutt T (Label 619). Bonne écoute à toutes et tous !

On reprend le fil de nos chroniques du Label 619 en cette période automnale avec la sortie du nouvel album de Simon "Hutt" T. (que nous avions reçu la première fois pour Mutafukaz 1886), qui est également sa toute première bande dessinée en solo, sur le scénario, le dessin et les couleurs. Un gros bébé qui ouvre les portes d'un univers partagé bien plus large, ce qui nécessitait bien sûr un gros podcast pour en parler !Simon "Hutt" T. de retour sur le podcast !C'est donc avec un immense plaisir que nous vous proposons cet entretien long format en compagnie de Simon "Hutt" T. pour parler d'AMR - avec une première partie qui revient sur le parcours de l'auteur en BD (pour le reste, on vous renvoie au numéro de Pain sur la Planche évoqué plusieurs fois dans l'émission), et une dernière demi-heure SPOILER qu'on ne vous recommande d'écouter qu'après la lecture du récit, évidemment.Vous pouvez commander AMR à ce lien !Si vous appréciez notre travail ne manquez pas de le faire savoir en partageant cette émission pour faire découvrir notre podcast et mettre en avant nos invité(e)s ! Vous pouvez également nous soutenir sur notre Tipeee, et je vous dis à très bientôt pour la suite de nos émissions !Soutenez First Print - Votre podcast comics (& BD) préféré sur TipeeeHébergé par Ausha.

Pour cette nouvelle émission de ComicsDiscovery, nous avons eu le plaisir de recevoir Simon Hutt, auteur de bande dessinée aux multiples casquettes. Au fil de la conversation, il revient sur son parcours, son rapport au dessin et les différentes expériences qui l'ont progressivement conduit vers le Label 619. Cette rencontre nous donne surtout l'occasion de découvrir les coulisses d'AMR, sa nouvelle BD de science-fiction publiée chez Rue de Sèvres au Label 619. De la naissance du projet à ses inspirations, en passant par la création des personnages et de son univers, Simon partage avec nous les différentes étapes qui ont donné vie à l'album. Une discussion de passionnés dans un lieu qui l'est tout autantComme Simon est lui aussi montpelliérain, nous avons pu quitter le cadre habituel des interviews à distance pour nous retrouver autour d'une véritable table. Pour accueillir cette rencontre, difficile d'imaginer un endroit plus approprié que la librairie Bunka, située au 21 boulevard Pasteur à Montpellier. Un immense merci à Hélène, qui nous a accueillis avec beaucoup de gentillesse et nous a permis d'enregistrer cette émission au cœur de sa librairie. Passer chez Bunka reste toujours un plaisir et, pour nous, c'est tout simplement la meilleure librairie spécialisée dans le manga que nous connaissions. Si vous habitez Montpellier ou passez dans le coin, on ne peut que vous conseiller d'aller la découvrir. Vous pouvez également retrouver toute l'actualité de Bunka sur son site et sur Instagram : https://www.librairiebunka.fr/https://www.instagram.com/la_librairie_bunka/ Et le moment tombe particulièrement bien puisque Bunka fête actuellement ses 4 ans avec un concours organisé sur Instagram. Parmi les lots, vous pourrez notamment gagner un exemplaire d'AMR dédicacé par Simon Hutt. Il s'agit de notre propre exemplaire, que nous avons offert à Hélène pour la remercier de son accueil. Une bonne raison supplémentaire d'aller découvrir le concours... et surtout la librairie. De la biologie au Label 619Avant d'arriver à la bande dessinée, Simon a suivi un chemin pour le moins atypique. Pendant l'interview, il nous raconte notamment ses études de biologie jusqu'à un master en virologie, tout en conservant le dessin comme une passion constante. Peu à peu, il se tourne vers les métiers de l'image et multiplie les expériences dans des domaines aussi différents que l'animation, le jeu vidéo, le concept art, la direction artistique et la BD. Son passage chez Ankama sur Wakfu joue notamment un rôle important dans cette évolution. Il y rencontre Run, avec qui il commence ensuite à collaborer. De projet en projet, cette relation lui ouvre les portes du Label 619 et lui permet de faire dialoguer toutes les disciplines qu'il pratique. Simon revient avec beaucoup de simplicité sur ce parcours et sur les rencontres qui ont façonné sa manière de créer. AMR : une première BD en soloCette évolution mène naturellement à AMR. Après avoir travaillé aux côtés de Run sur Mutafukaz 1886, dont Run signait le scénario tandis que Simon assurait notamment le dessin, les couleurs et le storyboard, l'auteur franchit une nouvelle étape avec son premier album entièrement personnel. Cette fois, il imagine lui-même l'histoire, les personnages et tout l'univers qui les entoure. Dans AMR, nous suivons Amer, un jeune « fixeur » qui répare machines et robots dans l'atelier de son oncle. Son quotidien vole en éclats lorsqu'un étrange artefact se retrouve coincé sur sa tête et attire sur lui l'attention du gouvernement galactique. Avec Dario et Servo, un robot sauvé de la casse, il se retrouve alors embarqué dans une aventure qui traverse un univers de science-fiction volontairement usé, poussiéreux et très éloigné des grandes cités futuristes étincelantes. Au cours de l'émission, Simon nous explique comment il a construit cet univers, imaginé ses personnages et développé une identité visuelle qui lui appartient pleinement. Il revient également sur ce que représente pour lui ce premier album en solo et sur la liberté créative qu'un tel projet lui a offerte. Une rencontre passionnante autour d'AMRAu-delà de toutes ces anecdotes sur la création de l'album, nous avons surtout passé un excellent moment avec Simon. Sa passion pour la BD, la création, le jeu vidéo et la science-fiction nourrit naturellement la conversation, et on espère que cette ambiance détendue et enthousiaste s'entendra tout autant à l'écoute de l'émission. Encore un grand merci à Hélène de la librairie Bunka d'avoir rendu cette rencontre possible. De notre côté, on ne peut évidemment que vous conseiller de découvrir AMR et son univers de science-fiction généreux, vivant et rempli d'idées. Enfin, si vous souhaitez suivre le travail de Simon au-delà de la BD, retrouvez-le sur Instagram et sur sa chaîne Twitch. Il a d'ailleurs créé une partie d'AMR en direct sur Twitch, donnant ainsi à sa communauté l'occasion d'assister à plusieurs étapes de fabrication de l'album. Envie d'aller plus loin ?Si, comme nous, vous êtes des Label619Zouzes (terme approuvé par Run, je le rappelle !), on vous conseille de prolonger l'aventure avec ces épisodes de nos podcasts consacrés à d'autres titres du Label 619 : Silent Jenny de Mathieu Bablet | ComicsDiscovery S10E05 Shin Zero de Guillaume Singelin et Mathieu Bablet | ComicsDiscovery S09E18 Frontier de Guillaume Singelin | BdDiscovery S01E01Trois albums aux univers très différents qui illustrent parfaitement la richesse et la diversité des œuvres réunies sous la bannière du Label 619.Suivez ComicsDiscovery sur les réseaux sociaux Instagram : @comicsdiscovery sur Instagram BlueSky : ComicsDiscovery sur BlueSky TikTok : @jamesetfaye sur TikTok Facebook : ComicsDiscovery sur Facebook Écoutez le podcast ComicsDiscovery Spotify : ComicsDiscovery sur Spotify Ausha : ComicsDiscovery sur Ausha Apple Podcasts : ComicsDiscovery sur Apple Podcasts Deezer : ComicsDiscovery sur Deezer Pour soutenir ComicsDiscoverySi vous appréciez notre travail et souhaitez soutenir une équipe passionnée par la bande dessinée, les comics et la pop culture, vous pouvez nous aider via Tipeee.

What can DNA recovered from bones, teeth and paleofaeces tell us that living samples can't — and how do you keep modern contamination from drowning out a 1,000-year-old signal? In Part 1, host Nabil Ali Khan is joined by James Fellows Yates (bioinformatician, biomolecular archaeologist, and editor of the new open textbook Introduction to Ancient Metagenomics) for a tour of the field. They cover why ancient DNA arrives as 30–70 bp fragments with characteristic C→T "smiley plot" damage, how endogenous yields as low as 1% still count as a good sample, and the wet-lab lengths (bodysuits, UV, no kits) needed to keep libraries clean. They also dig into the big questions ancient microbial DNA is now answering — plague and TB origins, oral-microbiome loss since the Neolithic, AMR trends read from historical bear calculus — and how the SPAAM community, NF-core/eager and AncientMetagenomeDir grew up to support the work.

Zubayr Ibn al-Awaam رضي الله عنه (S100) There is a difference regarding Zubayr's رضي الله عنه age when he was martyred. Some say he was either 57, 61 or 64. 57 is preferred. Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى knows best. The killer of Zubayr رضي الله عنه, Amr Ibn Jarmooz, lived on for ~3 decades after he killed Zubayr رضي الله عنه. Amr would have frequent horrific nightmares. When Abdullah Ibn Zubayr رضي الله عنهم became the Caliph, he appointed his brother Musab Ibn Zubayr (r.h) as governor of Iraq.

Forty-three Vancouver Fire Department personnel responded to a working commercial structure fire at Cedar Creek Cannabis on NE 121st Ave Tuesday morning, bringing the blaze under control in roughly 20 minutes.

In this episode of EMS One-Stop, Rob Lawrence speaks with Wesley Brookshear, critical care paramedic and FTO program supervisor with AMR in Knoxville, Tennessee, about a community-led effort that is changing how EMS responds to the city's Mission District. What began as an attempt to understand unusually high 911 utilization has evolved into a multidisciplinary outreach program bringing EMS, public health, addiction services, shelter providers, clinicians and other community organizations directly to Knoxville's unhoused population. By concentrating on relationships, consistency and basic human needs, the initiative has produced a reported 32% reduction in traditional EMS call volume while dramatically expanding access to wound care, food, addiction treatment, mental health support, nurse navigation and other services. Wesley explains why the program's success is less about creating another specialized EMS unit and more about connecting people to the resources that already exist. The team initially arrived without uniforms, handed out fruit, listened and built trust before attempting to provide care. Two years later, the program has recorded thousands of encounters, helped more than 140 people enter treatment or sober living and generated remarkably few ambulance transports from its outreach activity. The conversation explores how other EMS systems can identify high-utilization areas, develop community partnerships, protect the mental health of outreach staff and start small—even with a single motivated employee. Above all, Wesley argues that EMS has an opportunity to move beyond simply transporting patients and instead become the connector that gets people to the care and resources they actually need.

We went in black t-shirts, blue jeans and started making connections.” — Wesley Brookshear “We have noticed a 32% reduction in our normal call volume down at the mission since we started this program 2 years ago.” — Wesley Brookshear “MIH, mobile integrated healthcare, isn't a title; it's actually a list. It's mobile, it's integrated and it's healthcare.” — Rob Lawrence “This is not Wesley Brookshear, this is not AMR, this is an entire community of Knox County citizens that are coming together to support.” — Wesley Brookshear “We talk about the homeless or the unhoused, and I do use both terms, but the unhoused, and we act like it's those individuals; it's never those individuals, those are humans within your community.” — Wesley Brookshear “My mission wasn't admission avoidance, it was arrival avoidance.” — Rob Lawrence “Our folks are wrapping their own wounds now. We are providing supplies. We are giving education.” — Wesley Brookshear “Do not go down with the idea that you're going to cure this idea that homelessness is going to go away.” — Wesley Brookshear Episode timeline 00:49 – Rob introduces the episode and the concept of specialist teams focused on populations at risk 01:52 – Wesley introduces himself, AMR Knoxville and the multidisciplinary Mission District outreach team 03:25 – Identifying concentrated 911 utilization around the North Broadway area 04:22 – The headline result: a 32% reduction in normal call volume after 2 years 05:08 – Building services around Maslow's hierarchy of needs: food, water, shelter and safety 06:10 – How the project began with surveys asking community members what they actually needed 06:50 – Wesley emphasizes that homelessness should be understood as a human and community issue 08:05 – Building partnerships and establishing a consistent Tuesday outreach presence 08:28 – Why the team initially attended in jeans and black t-shirts rather than EMS uniforms 10:10 – Rotating team members to manage emotional and mental-health pressures 11:27 – Training new outreach personnel and protecting the culture of the program 12:10 – The practical work: washing wounds, basic dressings and human contact 13:02 – Patients begin managing and dressing their own wounds with education and supplies 13:26 – Taking CPR and Stop the Bleed education directly into the Mission District 14:00 – Using GMR nurse navigation to expand access to alternative care and follow-up 16:09 – Nurse navigation, mental-health pathways and bypassing the emergency department when appropriate 18:28 – Discussion resumes: community paramedicine versus mobile integrated healthcare 19:23 – Rob defines MIH as “mobile, integrated and healthcare” 20:01 – Building relationships with partner organizations beyond the street-level outreach work 21:23 – Program numbers: approximately 4,800 encounters, 515-plus people served, 140-plus entering treatment or sober living, and only nine outreach encounters requiring ambulance transport 22:14 – A frostbite patient whose feet were saved through coordinated community intervention 24:23 – Wesley reflects on severe wounds, winter outreach and the impact of simple acts of care 25:18 – Where another EMS chief should start: find the hot spots and find someone who cares 26:39 – Starting small and expanding services gradually through community partnerships 27:08 – Why handing someone a resource list is not enough 27:36 – EMS as clinicians and navigators rather than simply a transport service 28:50 – Rob discusses “arrival avoidance” and directing patients into appropriate pathways of care 29:51 – The minimum viable program: one person who builds connections and physically links patients to resources 30:42 – Costs, donated supplies and the operational value of reducing unnecessary 911 demand 31:55 – The broader return: increased ambulance availability and potentially improved workforce engagement 33:14 – What not to do: don't approach outreach expecting to “solve homelessness” 33:43 – Managing compassion fatigue and rotating team members 34:58 – Food, coffee and small gestures as tools for relationship-building 35:26 – Challenging assumptions about who becomes unhoused 36:51 – Wesley's closing message: seek opportunities for EMS to grow and approach vulnerable populations with compassion 38:38 – Rob closes the episode with a challenge to EMS leaders: start something, even if it is small Enjoying the show?

HEALTH NEWS Turmeric Extract CLE Improves Orientation and Attention in Middle-Aged Adults, Study Finds Healthy midlife habits linked to longer dementia-free years Industrial Chicken Farming Is Supercharging the Spread of a Dangerous Foodborne Bacterium How folic acid may protect a baby's developing brain and spinal cord Study: Exercise Prompts Liver Enzyme That May Protect Brain Barrier Turmeric Extract CLE Improves Orientation and Attention in Middle-Aged Adults, Study Finds August 10 2026 (Natural News) A 24-week clinical trial published in Frontiers in Nutrition has found that a non-curcumin turmeric extract known as CLE (curcuma longa extract) improved two cognitive functions – orientation and attention – in healthy adults aged 40 to 69. The study tested 35 cognitive measures and reported statistically significant improvements on only two: awareness of time, place and surroundings (orientation) and the ability to focus and ignore distractions (attention). Alzheimer's disease affects about 5.3 million Americans, making it the leading cause of dementia and the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. The CLE extract tested in this trial contains different compounds – turmeronols A and B and bisacurone – which have shown anti-inflammatory effects in laboratory models. The trial enrolled 40 participants with subtle cognitive changes still considered within the normal range. They were randomly assigned to take either two CLE capsules daily or a placebo for 24 weeks. Cognitive assessments were administered at baseline, at 12 weeks, and at 24 weeks using standard screening tools and an eye-tracking platform. After six months, participants in the CLE group scored higher on orientation compared with the placebo group, according to both an eye-tracking cognitive test and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment – Japanese version (MoCA-J). The CLE group also demonstrated better attention – the ability to focus and ignore distractions – based on the eye-tracking assessment. Healthy midlife habits linked to longer dementia-free years New York University Langone Health, August 6 2026 (News-Medical) Having normal blood pressure, no diabetes, and not smoking from age 48 to 68, are associated with nearly 13 additional years on average of dementia-free life, a new study shows. Led by NYU Langone Health researchers, the new work also found that, no matter how many risk factors they had, women lived longer without dementia than men, and that white study participants had more dementia-free years than Black participants. The findings argue that people need to actively avert these factors in midlife as a strategy for preserving brain health for more than a decade. The current study looked at 12,409 people with an average age of 56 who were free of dementia. Participants were assessed for three risk factors: high blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking. They were then followed for an average of 26 years. Those who had no risk factors lived without developing dementia nearly 13 years longer than people with the three risk factors (30 years total after the study's start versus 17 years). The team also sought to determine how cardiovascular risk factors in midlife influenced dementia-free survival across demographics. Women with all three risk factors lived an average of 18.1 years from the start of tracking without developing dementia, compared to 16.6 years for male study participants. White participants with all three risk factors lived an average of 19.6 years without developing dementia, compared to 16 years for Black participants. Industrial Chicken Farming Is Supercharging the Spread of a Dangerous Foodborne Bacterium Oxford University, August 10, 2026 (SciTech Daily) Commercial poultry farms now hold billions of chickens, creating a vast habitat where bacteria can move, mix and adapt. An analysis from the Ineos Oxford Institute for Antimicrobial Research at the University of Oxford found that industrial poultry production has increased the movement of Campylobacter more than 100 times, allowing strains once associated with wild birds to circulate widely among farmed chickens. Campylobacter is the world's most common bacterial cause of diarrhea. Treatment is also becoming more difficult as antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the ability of bacteria to withstand drugs intended to kill them, continues to rise. Researchers analyzed nearly 2,800 Campylobacter genomes collected from chickens and wild birds in 30 countries (including the UK and USA) between 1979 and 2024. Their study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), indicates that the global growth of chicken production has given different strains more opportunities to spread, exchange genetic material and acquire traits that support survival. Chickens now represent about 70% of all bird biomass on Earth. The findings suggest that enormous, densely packed flocks may function as ecological ‘pathogen sponges,' taking in bacterial strains from different sources and amplifying them. How folic acid may protect a baby's developing brain and spinal cord Hebrew University of Jerusalem, August 11 2026 (Medical Xpress) For more than 30 years, one piece of pregnancy advice has been remarkably consistent: Take folic acid. The reason is clear. Folic acid, or vitamin B9, can lower the risk of neural tube defects, serious birth defects that happen when the early structure that becomes the brain and spinal cord does not close properly. What has been much less clear is how folic acid works. Now, researchers may have found an important part of the answer. In a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists discovered that folic acid appears to rely on an enzyme called ALDH1L1. That enzyme helps produce retinoic acid, a powerful developmental signal made from vitamin A. Scientists have long known that folic acid can help prevent many of these defects. But the vitamin seems to be doing more than simply supplying nutrients. The new research suggests that folic acid helps switch on ALDH1L1, a gene that makes the ALDH1L1 enzyme. That enzyme can then help turn a vitamin A-related molecule called retinaldehyde into retinoic acid. Retinoic acid acts like a set of instructions, telling developing cells when to grow, what to become, where to go and when to stop dividing. Study: Exercise Prompts Liver Enzyme That May Protect Brain Barrier University of California at San Francisco, August 10 2026 (Natural News) Researchers at the UC San Francisco Bakar Aging Research Institute have found that exercise prompts the liver to release an enzyme that travels through the bloodstream to the brain and repairs the blood-brain barrier, according to a study published in the journal Cell. The enzyme, called GPLD1, removes a protein called TNAP that accumulates on blood-brain barrier cells over time, the report stated. The findings describe a direct liver-to-brain pathway that partly explains how physical activity protects the brain. The study identified TNAP as a protein that builds up on blood-brain barrier cells over time, according to the researchers. GPLD1 acts to remove TNAP, restoring the barrier's ability to admit nutrients and oxygen while blocking toxins, pathogens, and inflammatory molecules. The findings suggest that consistent, moderate exercise may trigger GPLD1 release, according to the report. Activities such as walking, cycling, and yoga may support cognitive health through this liver-brain connection, the researchers said.       Discussion about this episode

Key Takeaways: The Problem First Approach to Warehouse Automation In "The Problem First Approach to Warehouse Automation", Joe Lynch and Vinh Tran, Managing Director of MyBull Intelligent Machinery USA, discuss how prioritizing a facility's specific operational challenges over standard tech products leads to successful automation. The "Product-First" Trap: Companies often fail in automation by forcing a specific product (like a forklift or tractor) into a facility without understanding the workflow first. MyBull advocates for a "problem-first" approach, focusing on the client's biggest operational bottlenecks before selecting the equipment. The Brains Behind the Robots: While MyBull utilizes partner chassis for its physical hardware, its core innovation is the Position Navigation System (PNS) kit. This standardized "brain" utilizes LiDAR, 3D SLAM mapping, and sensorics to make forklifts, tuggers, and flatbeds fully autonomous. Bridging the Indoor-to-Outdoor Gap: While indoor autonomous solutions are highly developed, the outdoor yard remains an operational blind spot. MyBull specializes in rugged, weatherproof AMRs built with large tires and enclosed compartments that seamlessly transition from warehouse Wi-Fi to outdoor cellular networks. A "Farmer" Mindset Over a "Hunter" Mindset: Drawing from his experience living in Japan, Tran emphasizes a gradual, nurturing approach to automation (akin to Kaizen). Rather than chasing instant revenue, true success comes from a slow, deliberate integration between human operators and machine processes. Labor Displacement, Not Replacement: Automation shouldn't be viewed purely as a headcount reduction tool. Instead, it eliminates mundane, hazardous, or extreme-weather tasks—such as driving a tugger in freezing snow—allowing human workers to upskill into higher-value roles like fleet management. Exposing Process Bottlenecks: Introducing automation acts as a forcing function that immediately exposes a facility's "lack of control" or fractured workflow visibility. Once a repeatable, structured robot is introduced, operational inefficiencies and shifting bottlenecks become clearly visible. Delivering Outcomes, Not Just Technology: The ultimate goal of warehouse automation is not just owning high-tech machinery, but delivering tangible operational outcomes and maximizing throughput (the number of products successfully moving out the back door).

Could extinct species and ancient DNA hold the key to solving one of today's greatest medical challenges? In this episode, Professor César de la Fuente, Presidential Associate Professor at the University of Pennsylvania and pioneer in AI-driven drug discovery, explains how machines are uncovering new antibiotics from the DNA of Neanderthals, woolly mammoths, and other ancient organisms. As one of the youngest tenured professors in Penn Medicine history, Prof. de la Fuente has already designed the first computer-generated antibiotic effective in animal models and identified over a million potential antimicrobial compounds using machine biology. His work sits at the intersection of AI, evolutionary biology, and medicine, aiming to combat the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) worldwide. In this conversation, we explore: ·       How AI accelerates the discovery of antibiotics from ancient genetic material. ·       Why extinct organisms may contain clues for next-generation antimicrobial therapies. ·       The global health threat posed by antimicrobial resistance and bacterial biofilms. ·       The potential of machine biology to revolutionize medicine and drug discovery. From ancient DNA to cutting-edge AI, this episode provides a glimpse into the future of antibiotics and the next wave of medical innovation. Follow Prof. César de la Fuente and his research here.

Send us Fan MailThe best thing about good science is that it never fails to surprise you. And the best problem solvers are always willing to be surprised. In 100 episodes of One World, One Health, we've been surprised over and over again by what people have learned as they have set out to solve some of the biggest problems facing the planet – and by how often what everyone thought was going to be the answer was not even close.The first episode of One World, One Health was posted on July 18, 2022, with guest Dr. Kinari Webb. She told us how she set out to save great apes and ended up saving people, too. Webb discovered that in forests in Indonesia, people were cutting down trees to pay for healthcare. She found that to save forests and protect orangutans who lived in the giant hardwoods, her team needed to find a way to improve healthcare access for locals.  It was a classic example of how One Health works – the intertwining of human health with our environment and the animals, forests, crops, microbes, soils, rivers, and oceans that we live among.  We later expanded on the idea of saving forests to protect human health with Dr. Paula Prist, who found that deforestation not only worsens climate change, but also spreads rodents that carry diseases into communities. In four years of One World, One Health podcasts, we've chatted with experts working on a  vaccine that safely protects people against dengue fever; people fighting deadly fungal infections; ways to prevent pandemics; and the unexpected power of grandmothers. We've heard a lot about the factors that lead to the rise and spread of antimicrobial resistance – also known as AMR or drug-resistant superbugs. We've discussed how antibiotics may save lives until they are used too frequently; the counterintuitive impact of feeding them to farm animals; and how this problem affects everyone in different ways, even the tiniest of babies.  We have also looked for ways to prevent the spread of drug resistance, such as the careful use of drugs, weaning the food industry off overuse of antibiotics, vaccination, and potential new drugs. We've even chatted about some AMR mysteries, like the case of the killer eye drops. Listen to our review of the highlights of 100 episodes of One World, One Health, with host Maggie Fox, and find out what we found that matters the most in solving some of the world's most pressing crises.

Our antibiotics are failing us. In 2025, the UK Government said antibiotic resistance (AMR) contributes to more than 35,000 deaths each year in the UK. Emergency doctors say they are losing patients on a regular basis when they run out of ways to treat them. Antibiotics have saved countless lives, but alongside them, there is another unlikely sounding ally in this fight: viruses, so small that they can attack and kill the bacteria causing these devastating infections. They are called bacteriophages, or phages for short. There are more of them than any other commonly occurring natural entity on the planet. And we could be about to see doctors using them on very ill patients in the UK. The thing is scientists have studied bacteriophages for nearly a century. They are used routinely in other countries, and science journalist Marnie Chesterton, who has been following this story for nearly a decade, asks why, suddenly, is phage all the rage?

GASLY'S MONACO PODIUM REINSTATEMENT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO AND… FERNANDO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAKAR RALLY AND RACING AT LE MANS WITH MAX VERSTAPPEN!!!…   THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER WE HAVE: A MOMENT IN MOTORSPORTS HISTORY…AN INTERVIEW WITH F1 PHOTOGRAPHER PETER NYGARD AND MORE TRIVIA!!! When the rear wing has to go in your carry-on – a look into the different worlds of logistics at Audi How the logistics division of AUDI AG and the Formula 1 project benefit from each other Dieter Braun, Head of Audi Supply Chain, in discussion with his F1 colleagues Björn Brickwedde and Lars Rolack Logistics as a performance factor in motorsport and a driving force in road car production   More than 20 race weekends, global supply chains, tight time windows, geopolitical tensions, and the constant pressure to get every part to the right place on time: Formula 1 is not only a high-performance technological laboratory but also an extreme test for logistics. Many of the challenges faced by Audi Revolut F1 Team on the racetrack are also familiar to Audi Supply Chain – just on a different scale. A discussion between the logistics experts reveals what both worlds can learn from each other.   Dieter Braun, Head of Audi Supply Chain, sums it up: “If there's one thing we need in the company, it's speed. Not just on the racetrack, but when making decisions.” This is exactly where the key leverage lies: Formula 1 demonstrates what quick decisions, clear responsibilities, and precise preparation can achieve. Logistics as a performance factor In Formula 1, logistics directly determines on-track performance. Anything that isn't at the track on time can't be used. If transportation costs are too high, there's less left in the budget for other areas. Björn Brickwedde, Head of Logistics at Audi Revolut F1 Team in Hinwil, Switzerland, explains: “Any savings we make in logistics can be invested in development and parts.” This is especially true under Formula 1's cost cap. Efficient logistics thus becomes a performance factor. Brickwedde cites specific examples: intelligent strategies for return shipments, minimal spare parts inventory, smart route planning, and determining the most cost-effective location from which to ship update parts or components. “Every expense saved can flow into development – and then into lap times.” Audi Supply Chain, in turn, designs and manages the entire customer order process – from ordering an Audi to delivery to the customer. This complex system involves several thousand suppliers in nearly 60 countries to manage the flow of goods comprising around one million parts per day. Every optimization in this cross-divisional core process creates leeway – whether in terms of costs, capital tied up, or the CO2 footprint. “In our role as conductors, we can contribute hundreds of millions in earnings for the company,” says Braun. One example illustrates the scope: Audi Supply Chain doesn't just orchestrate – it also manages crises and, with experienced employees working as a team, overcomes short-term challenges. Braun describes a situation involving the production of the last Audi Q2 cars. A container with displays that could not be reproduced was on its way from China via Dubai to Germany when war broke out in the Middle East. “The shipping company spontaneously decided to call at a port in India and unload all the containers without consulting us,” says Braun. The goods couldn't be obtained in time via India, so Audi organized a detour via Sri Lanka and Turkey. “The parts arrived half a day before they were needed,” says Braun, “otherwise we wouldn't have been able to finish and deliver 2,000 Q2 cars.” Brickwedde's account of the Formula 1 season opener in Melbourne sounds very similar. “A supplementary shipment for the first race was supposed to fly from Zurich to Dubai – that's exactly when restrictions on global air traffic took effect,” he says, referring to canceled transport routes. Important update parts were held up, just like the freight from other teams. “We organized an alternative route with F1 Cargo and DHL and prepared new customs documents. It was a nerve-wracking ordeal for everyone involved – but the parts arrived in Melbourne on Wednesday evening, and thanks to the great teamwork on site, both cars were fully assembled in time for the first session.” In doing so, the logistics team laid the groundwork for Audi Revolut F1 Team to score its first points right off the bat in its debut in the premier class of motorsport. Speed is also a key factor in the Audi Supply Chain The racing series brings into sharp focus what often remains abstract in mass production: the impact of quick decisions. “In a race, you immediately realize when you've made a wrong strategic decision – for example, when you leave the pit lane too late,” says Braun. “From a business perspective at Audi, the impact of a decision often only becomes apparent later, but it can be just as serious. Deciding too late during a crisis is problematic – but so is doing so during planning, for example with long-term investments, which makes it particularly challenging for my team and the relevant departments.” The Formula 1 involvement provides a tangible narrative for this. Braun uses the Audi R26 as a permanent background image for his meetings – not just out of enthusiasm for motorsport, but as a signal to the organization: speed matters in the supply chain, too. Formula 1 shows that a good solution at the right time is more valuable than a perfect solution that comes too late. When the rear wing has to go in your carry-on The most exciting examples emerge where planning and improvisation meet. Brickwedde talks about the limited availability of parts during race operations: “We manage the production of parts very efficiently. This is partly because of the cost cap, but also because we only take to the racetrack what we genuinely believe we'll need. If something unexpected happens, you've got to think on your feet. This means that a team member might have to carry the necessary components in their luggage so that they're available at the track as quickly as possible. In a pinch, these could even be parts of a rear wing.” Time windows are tight on the power unit side as well. Lars Rolack, Head of Logistics at Audi Formula Racing in Neuburg an der Donau, describes the unscheduled return shipment of a high-voltage battery during the race weekend in Miami: hazardous materials, special customs and transport regulations, a short analysis window in Neuburg – and shipment back out to the next race just a few days later. “The battery arrived at our facility in Neuburg on Monday morning and was shipped out again on Wednesday evening, heading for Montreal.” Even though the processes at Audi Supply Chain are generally more predictable, the combination of foresight and flexibility remains a crucial success factor – for instance, in the face of supply bottlenecks, natural disasters, or geopolitical disruptions, which have almost become the new normal these days. Rolack used to work in the logistics division at AUDI AG himself before moving to the Formula 1 project. “My background in planning and my experience helped me, but race logistics is a very ad-hoc business – we all had to adapt our mindset extremely quickly to the pace.” While Audi's supply chain division manages several thousand different suppliers across the globe using a multitude of processes – now also with the help of complex mathematical algorithms – organizational skills and personal networks are what count in the F1 project. “If something gets stuck here, my first instinct is to pick up the phone. Thanks to lean processes and short lines of communication within the team, problems can be solved very quickly,” says Rolack. Lundgaard Charges From Last to First To Win at Road America ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (Sunday, June 21, 2026) – Christian Lundgaard asked his Arrow McLaren team over the radio what everyone else also wondered after the Dane took the checkered flag Sunday for the XPEL Grand Prix at Road America Presented by AMR. “How did we do that?” Lundgaard asked incredulously to his pit box. SEE: Race Results Lundgaard used strategy, speed and a bit of good fortune to climb from last in the 25-car field after contact on Lap 1 to earn his second victory of the season in the No. 7 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet. The race ended under caution when Graham Rahal spun into the gravel trap outside Canada Corner after contact with Will Power while dueling for third place on a one-lap restart to the checkered flag. The victory was the third of Lundgaard's NTT INDYCAR SERIES career, joining his win in May on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course with Arrow McLaren and in 2023 on the streets of Toronto with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. “I knew we had a chance,” Lundgaard said of the probability of winning after the early contact. “I knew how this race panned out last year, and I knew it was all about just sticking in the race. I did that last year. I made a bunch of mistakes last year that spun ourselves around last year, and I just wanted to make up for that. “We've been on the struggle bus all weekend, so to turn this around, I have to thank the team for that.” David Malukas finished second in the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet, his third runner-up finish of the season as he seeks his first career victory. Power held on to finish third in the No. 26 TWG AI Honda, matching his best finish of his first season with Andretti Global. Kyffin Simpson finished a season-best fourth in the No. 8 Sunoco Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, with points leader and four-time series champion Alex Palou rounding out the top five in the No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda. Lundgaard, who started 12th, took the lead for the second and final time on Lap 52 of the 55-lap race when the No. 66 Meyer Shank Racing w/Curb Agajanian Honda of leader Marcus Armstrong slowed with a mechanical problem. Armstrong led by 2.787 seconds with five laps to go before mechanical fate cruelly robbed him of what may have been his first career victory. Armstrong's stricken machine finally lost power in Turn 5 on Lap 53, triggering a caution period and a one-lap race to the checkered flag. Lundgaard never was challenged by Malukas on the final one-lap trip around the 14-turn, 4.014-mile road course, with most of the attention focused on the fierce duel for third between series veterans Power and Rahal. Power, holding a straight-line speed advantage, attempted to move to the outside of Rahal at the end of the back straightaway, with both cars making contact and Rahal's No. 15 MSC Industrial Supply Honda spinning into the gravel, ending the race. That was the climax to a thrilling race filled with varying tire strategies and fierce competition for nearly every position. But nothing was more exciting or improbable than Lundgaard's charge to the front. On the opening lap, Lundgaard made contact with Scott Dixon in Turn 1, damaging the left front wing on Lundgaard's car and deflating one of his Firestone Firehawk tires. He pulled into the pits on Lap 2 for tires, fuel and a new front wing, with Arrow McLaren strategists devising new tactics on the fly. Lundgaard cycled to the lead for the first time on Lap 43 when Armstrong, Malukas and Rahal made their final pit stops from the top three positions. Danish driver Lundgaard led Rosenqvist by 11.720 seconds on Lap 45 when he made his final pit stop, with the Arrow McLaren team refilling his fuel and fastening four Firestone Firehawk alternate tires in a speedy 7.1 seconds. The big cushion before the stop allowed Lundgaard to exit his final stop second behind Armstrong and just ahead of Malukas, who had hotter, stickier rubber on his wheels and passed Lundgaard for second on Lap 46. Josef Newgarden made his final stop from the lead on Lap 49 in the No. 2 PPG Team Penske Chevrolet, handing the lead back to Armstrong, who was 3.671 seconds ahead of Malukas. Meanwhile, Lundgaard passed Malukas for second on Lap 49, with Armstrong nearly three seconds up the road. Then Armstrong's bid for his first win evaporated as his power dwindled, letting Lundgaard pass for the lead on Lap 52. “It was all smooth sailing,” a deflated Armstrong said. “I came out of Turn 6, and the engine just started sputtering like it was out of fuel. But clearly it wasn't. And then it just completely died. There was no indication there was nothing wrong.” Pole sitter Palou led 13 laps, but his chances for a fourth career Road America victory vanished when he was penalized for speeding in the pits on Lap 29. Palou fell to 22nd after his drive-through penalty on one of the longest pit roads in the series, but he was appointment viewing in his charge toward the front over the closing 25 laps. Palou leads second-place Malukas by 60 points and third-place Kyle Kirkwood, who finished 10th, by 61 points in the standings. Lundgaard is fourth, 77 points behind Palou. The next NTT INDYCAR SERIES event is The Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio Presented by the 2027 CR-V Hybrid on Sunday, July 5 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course near Columbus, Ohio.
