Good morning! You’re reading the 10th issue of the White Pill, our weekly roundup of news in medicine, space, tech, science, and engineering that will make you feel proud to be the best species in the Milky Way (easily, no question), also the best species in the Virgo Supercluster (probably), and — dare I say? — one of the top 10 species in the observable universe.
Is this the best White Pill yet? The answer is yes: today we’ve got some excellent news to share, such as a potential breakthrough in skin cancer. Also a ton of space news: plasma streaks 10 light years long, a satellite-launching railgun, and phosphates on one of Saturn’s moons — you know, the usual fare. Then, good news in medicine (you’ll want to read about the “AI doctor” NYU built), and in science and engineering news from this week, the “turbulence blob” researchers created to better understand bumpy flights, among other stories.
After that, this week’s White Pill Investment Index, where we track funding going to companies doing cool sci-fi stuff, news in AI, and, as always, fun stuff at the end.
