Putin's Proposal for Ukraine and US Demands

Russian President Putin proposed a temporary administration in Ukraine to facilitate new elections and peace accords. He believes this will address the legitimacy issue of Ukraine's current leadership.

Meanwhile, Trump’s administration is pushing for a new economic deal with Ukraine, which includes a “right of first offer” on future investments.

Ukraine's military aid from the U.S. is estimated at $100 billion, while Trump cites a total of $350 billion in support.

Ukrainian President Zelensky emphasized that conducting elections under martial law is impossible. He also expressed concern about the demands from Washington, which may undermine Ukraine’s ties with European allies.

Tourist Submarine Sinks in Egypt

A tourist submarine named "Sindbad" sank in the Red Sea, killing six Russians.

The vessel, carrying 50 people, sank about 1,000 meters offshore around 10 a.m. Rescue teams recovered 39 survivors, 29 of whom were injured.

The submarine may have struck a reef at 20 meters depth. Survivors reported water rushing in through open hatches. The Sindbad was licensed and designed for tours up to 25 meters.

This incident follows a November 2024 tourist boat sinking, highlighting concerns about tourist vessel safety in Egypt, where tourism contributes $14.1 billion to the economy.

CoreWeave's IPO

CoreWeave's IPO will raise $1.5 billion by pricing shares at $40 each, valuing the company at $19 billion, lower than the initial target of $47-$55 per share.

The company reduced its share offering from 49 million to 37.5 million. Nvidia invested $250 million in the IPO.

CoreWeave's revenue grew over 700% last year to nearly $2 billion, but it posted a net loss of $863 million and has $12 billion in debt.

Concerns over its reliance on Microsoft, which generates 77% of its revenue, and skepticism about long-term growth, have analysts cautious as the IPO proceeds under ticker “CRWV.”

Diabetes Prevention in Infancy

New research suggests antibiotics given to infants may harm insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, raising diabetes risk later in life.

The study found that mice exposed to broad-spectrum antibiotics at a critical stage had a 90% diabetes rate, while those exposed to Candida dubliniensis had only a 15% incidence.

The research highlights the role of the infant microbiome in pancreatic health and beta cell growth.

Administering C. dubliniensis to adult mice rejuvenated insulin-producing cells, suggesting that restoring beneficial microbes could offer new treatments for diabetes and prevent metabolic diseases.

Why Human Brains are Large

A study by the German Primate Center and Max Planck Institute identified two human-specific genes, NBPF14 and NOTCH2NLB, that influence cerebrum growth.

NBPF14 promotes the multiplication of brain progenitor cells, while NOTCH2NLB drives their transformation into neuron precursor cells.

This interaction is key to the human brain's evolutionary expansion in size and complexity.
