1. Why companies are not interested in single dose trials (NB: there is a more radical approach available here).

3. The excellent Dana Gioia on Ray Bradbury.

4. Japan is building wooden satellites to cut space junk.

5. Bad news from South Africa about the new Covid strain.

6. A new population of blue whales is discovered (NYT).
