Science and technology are constantly widening new understanding and providing better tools to tackle cancer. Nowhere is this happening faster than in cancer, and pioneering work is being done across the EU, writes European Alliance for Personalised Medicine (EAPM) Executive Director Denis Horgan.Genome and epigenome profiling and large-scale molecular profiling are redefining both the way cancers are categorized and, increasingly, the way they are being treated, as molecular alterations are emerging as powerful prognostic markers and targets. Rules are emerging for analysis of treatment outcomes are analysed, and molecular targets are being used to ensure an increased quality of life for the patients. But availability is not the same as accessibility.

25-year-old California TikTok influencer could become the next Gen Z member of Congress

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:16:33 GMT

While still a student at UC Irvine School of Law, Cheyenne Hunt clerked for Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, working on the Judiciary Committee and witnessing firsthand the first impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.It was that “unforgettable” experience, she said, that cemented her desire to run for office. And that means Hunt, a Fullerton resident and TikTok influencer, is the latest to announce her candidacy for California’s 45th congressional district represented by GOP Rep. Michelle Steel — a race that’s heating up fast.Hunt found while working in Washington, D.C., she said, that not everybody is motivated by the issues that are keeping people in her community up at night.“Working on (Capitol) Hill showed me the ways in which our system is designed to prioritize justice and to treat nobody as if they are above the law,” said Hunt, who works in tech policy for Public Citizen, a progressive advocacy group.“But it also showed me the ways in which our lawmakers are not n...

Social media posts with BB gun spark panic at California junior high school

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:16:33 GMT

A social media post from a Fullerton junior high school student holding what appeared to be a handgun set off a chain of events Monday that led parents to panic, with 250 parents rushing to campus to pull out their kids.By Tuesday, 228 of Nicolas Junior High’s 630 students were still staying home. And some 150 parents, many upset about what they said was inadequate notification from the school, showed up to a town hall meeting on campus, demanding answers — and changes.Parents, and a couple of students, mistakenly thought there was a gunman at the school. Parents were getting texts Monday from their children that said, “There’s a shooter on campus.”“It was very apocalyptic,” parent Maria Cardenas said, describing how some parents were running to school to grab their children.One student said: “I felt safe in the beginning. But once I saw my friends leaving, I got scared.”There wasn’t an active shooter; the student who sent the original social media post was still at home, where loca...

Niles: Disney thwarts Florida’s bid to take over special district, but company needs oversight

Ron DeSantis with the slickest misdirect since Lightning McQueen learned to drift left by turning right.But don’t let the jokes distract you from the fact that this was a conflict that never should have happened.DeSantis and his allies in the Florida legislature had been trying to scuttle the Disney-controlled Reedy Creek Improvement District that governs the Walt Disney World Resort’s land. Florida’s move came after former CEO Bob Chapek criticized the state’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law. But before the legislature voted to approve Reedy Creek’s replacement with the new, DeSantis-controlled Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, Reedy Creek’s board approved a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants that gave Disney Parks control over the resort’s planning and zoning for years to come.But Disney did not stop there.To guard against a legal prohibition of perpetuities, Reedy...
