Tiny house firms are always trying to think up new ways of maximizing every inch of available space. Modern Tiny Living has hit upon a neat approach to this with its Shadow model, which features a living room that seats six, has lots of storage, and also doubles as a guest bed.The Shadow is based on a double-axle trailer and, at 24 ft (7.32 m), is definitely on the smaller side for a North American tiny house – indeed, it’s not all that much larger than compact European models like the Hytta. It’s influenced by farmhouse style architecture, is finished…

Cancer researchers examining the use of artificial intelligence to detect early signs of breast cancer. Pediatricians tracking the long-term health of children born to mothers infected with the coronavirus during pregnancy. Scientists searching for links between diabetes and dementia.All these projects at Columbia University were paid for with federal research grants that were abruptly terminated following the Trump administration’s decision to cut $400 million in funding to Columbia over concerns regarding the treatment of Jewish students.Dozens of medical and scientific studies are ending, or at risk of ending, leaving researchers scrambling to find alternative funding. In some cases, researchers have…

Dr. Frankenstein might not have needed a lightning bolt to bring his monster to life after all. A new study from Stanford suggests that life might have been kickstarted by constant zaps from “microlightning” between water droplets.The most profound missing link in the evolutionary tree is the very first one: how did living cells arise from non-living matter? It’s thought that early Earth contained a primordial soup of ingredients essential for biology as we know it – all it needed was a specific catalyst to kick off the chemical reactions to turn inorganic compounds organic.One of the most enduring ideas…

Dr. Sheldon Greenfield, whose pioneering research found that older patients with breast and pancreatic cancer got subpar treatment and that patients who grill their doctors during consultations receive better care, died on Feb. 26 at his home in Newport Beach, Calif. He was 86.The cause was colon cancer, his daughter Lauren Greenfield said.Dr. Greenfield was a founder and director of the Center for Health Policy Research at the University of California, Irvine, and a leader of the Medical Outcomes Study, involving more than 22,000 patients and 500 physicians. It determined in 1986 that doctors often ordered exorbitant and unnecessary tests…

California-based eVTOL startup Joby Aviation is gearing up to fly people from UK airports to nearby cities in England in little air taxis at 200 mph (322 km/h), in partnership with long-haul carrier Virgin Atlantic.The company says its six-rotor electric air taxi can seat five – including the pilot – and get you from Manchester Airport to Leeds in 15 minutes instead of the one hour it takes by road. It could also cut the 80-minute journey from Heathrow Airport to London’s Canary Wharf down to 8 minutes.The aircraft can cover up to 100 emissions-free miles (160 km) on a…

Until 2020, few Americans needed to think about how viruses spread or how the human immune system works. The pandemic offered a painful crash course. Sometimes, it seemed that the science was evolving as quickly as the virus itself.So The New York Times asked experts to revisit the nightmare. Of the most significant public health measures introduced during Covid, which have held up scientifically, and which turned out to be wrongheaded?The question is particularly important now, because pandemics that could upend American lives are inevitable. One candidate has already surfaced: bird flu.Perhaps the biggest lesson learned, several experts said, is…

So, you went and bought a mechanical dropper seatpost for your mountain bike, only to discover that smoother-moving, faster-acting electronic posts are now “a thing.” Well, don’t despair, as the OnlyMotion system is designed to make your existing dropper seatpost electric.Currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign, the OnlyMotion setup is made by a Canadian startup of the same name.

The family of Brendan Costello gathered in the hospital half-light. He had overcome so much in life, but the profound damage to his brain meant he would never again be Brendan. It was time.Brendan had spent four months enduring three surgeries and a lengthy rehab after infections further destabilized his damaged spine. He had returned to his apartment on the Upper West Side in late December to begin reclaiming the life he had put on hold — only to go into cardiac arrest three weeks later and lose consciousness forever.His younger sister, Darlene, stayed by him in the intensive care…
