🗣 "We've had this first round of talks since the new [Iranian] government, and what we've seen in the last couple of days is that Iran right now does not seem to be serious about doing what's necessary to return to compliance, which is why we ended this round of talks in Vienna," US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Friday,

🤯 Scientists from the University of California-Riverside are attempting to study Alzheimer's disease from a different perspective, and it seems they may have discovered its potential cause, according to new research. 🔬
It appears that a form of unhealthy buildup in the brain may be connected with a slowdown in the ability of cells to "clean themselves". The speed of clearing proteins - called ‘autophagy’ - tends to lessen in those above age 65. It is not understood why, but the California-based scientists plan to study the issue.
Purpose-built drugs are now being tested that are hoped will improve the process of autophagy. Along with proper diet and new medications, humanity may hope to eventually dodge the debilitating effects of Alzheimer's.

💥 Hundreds, possibly thousands of dangerous munitions, such as armour-piercing grenades, landmines and rockets, as well as hundreds of pounds of plastic explosives, have been lost or stolen from the US military over the past decade, AP reports, citing their own investigation.
Explosives that originated from military bases or between-base shipments have reportedly been found “in homes and storage units, inside military barracks and alongside roads, even at a US-Mexico border checkpoint.”
According to the media outlet, records have been falsified by troops in attempts to conceal thefts, and in some cases missing explosives weren’t reported at all.

🛰 NASA funds three companies to develop commercial space station
Three teams, each led by Blue Origin, Nanoracks and Northrop Grumman, will split about $415 million.
All three contracts are part of NASA's Commercial LEO (low Earth orbit) Development program and were given to companies that reportedly have many years of experience, either with human spacecraft or space experimentation.
The hope is to get at least one company concept into orbit before 2030, which is when the venerable International Space Station (ISS) is expected to be decommissioned, should all of the orbiting lab's partners agree to extensions.

⚡️Parents of Michigan school shooter suspect plead not guilty to involuntary manslaughter charges
❌ The parents of a 15-year-old Michigan school shooter suspect, James and Jennifer Crumbley, have pled not guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter after their son allegedly killed four using a gun one of his parents had bought.
The couple was charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, each in connection with the school shooting for which their son stands accused.
They purchased the firearm used in the attack just days before the shooting and did not take seriously concerning reports from school staff about his behaviour, according to the prosecution.
