 #COVID: Biden Orders Wuhan Lab Leak Probe

After long-running skepticism that treated it as a Trumpian conspiracy theory, the possibility
that the coronavirus pandemic started in a Chinese lab is now mainstream. That’s because
President Biden yesterday ordered a 90-day probe of that theory. Why now? Intelligence
reports say the Wuhan Institute of Virology, based amid the first reported outbreaks in
December 2019, saw ailing staff hospitalized a month earlier. That’s prompted the U.S.
Senate to unanimously block funding for the lab, while Beijing, which has been criticized
for withholding data, warned against “politicizing” research, while supporting a
“comprehensive” study of early COVID-19 cases.

A physicist goes in search of our origins

CERN experimentalist offers sweeping history of the
 Universe, in science and culture.
Andrea Taroni


His starting point is Hesiod’s Theogony, a poem from around
700 bc on the birth of the Greek gods. In the beginning, there
was chaos. Tonelli uses ‘chaos’ in its original sense — a chasm
or void so enormous that it could swallow and contain everything
— rather than with its more modern connotation of disorder.
Just as silence can be understood as a superposition of opposite-
phase sound waves that cancel one another out, the void can host
unlimited quantities of matter and antimatter, yet have a net energy
of zero. The Universe was born 13.8 billion years ago from a random
quantum fluctuation in this void.

Link between diesel exhaust and risk of Parkinson’s discovered

Researchers have uncovered the process by which air pollution can damage
brain cells, leading to an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease. Chemicals
found in diesel fuel reduced autophagic flux, which is a major pathway implic

Mathematicians Find Polynomial Building Blocks Hilbert Sought

      After identifying a novel microRNA in mice and humans with myocarditis, we found that the human homologue (hsa-miR-Chr8:96) could be used to distinguish patients with myocarditis from those with myocardial infarction. (Funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and others.)
