[Passing the Blame] The Secret Service Director was grilled by both parties of Congress and she couldn’t give one proper answer. She said she didn’t know anything, even after 9 days.

[Math Wiz] At age 2, Suborno Isaac Bari memorized the periodic table and recited it in what turned out to be a viral 2014 video. Two years later, President Obama sent Suborno a letter of recognition, prompting Mumbai University to invite him to deliver a physics lecture when he was just 7. In elementary school, he spent afternoons with kids his age and mornings in higher-level classes. Now Suborno is 12, and next month he will start college at New York University, with a full scholarship. He is believed to be the youngest student ever admitted there, and he will study math and physics. Suborno said he’d like to become a professor. “It’s just the curiosity and spark of wanting to learn what’s behind everything,” he said. |

[Aging] Scientists have moved a step closer to unlocking the secrets of anti-aging after developing a method of extending the lifespan of mammals by 25%. Imperial College London researchers inhibited the protein interleukin 11 (IL-11) in middle-aged mice, and that reportedly improved the animals’ vision, hearing, metabolism, lung health and muscle function, even preventing hair loss and graying. Treated mice lived an average of 155 weeks compared to 120 weeks for untreated ones, with fewer cancers and signs of aging. |
