"A net-zero power system is closer than we think.

New research, published by RMI, indicates that an exponential surge in renewable energy deployment is outpacing the International Energy Agency’s most ambitious net-zero predictions for 2030. 

That’s right: Surging solar, wind, and battery capacity is now in-line with net-zero scenarios. 

“For the first time, we can, with hand on heart, say that we are potentially on the path to net zero,” Kingsmill Bond, Senior Principal at RMI, said. “We need to make sure that we continue to drive change, but there is a path and we are on it.”

And that’s really good news.

Exponential growth in renewable energy has put the global electricity system at a tipping point. What was once seen as a wildly daunting task — transitioning away from fossil fuels — is now happening at a faster pace every year. 

Based on this new research, conducted in partnership with the Bezos Earth Fund, RMI projects that solar and wind will supply over a third of all global electricity by 2030, up from about 12% today, which would surpass recent calls for a tripling of total renewable energy capacity by the end of the decade. 

Global progress in the renewable energy sector

China and Europe have been leading the way in clean energy generation, but the deployment of renewable energy has also been widely distributed across the Middle East and Africa. 

Research from Systems Change Lab shows that eight countries (Uruguay, Denmark, Lithuania, Namibia, Netherlands, Palestine, Jordan, and Chile) have already grown solar and wind power faster than what is needed to limit global warming to 1.5°C, proving that a swift switch to renewable energy is not only feasible — it’s entirely achievable. 

In order to make that switch, globally, wind and solar need to grow from 12% to 41% by 2030. Denmark, Uruguay, and Lithuania have already achieved that increase in the span of eight years.

Meanwhile, Namibia, the Netherlands, Palestine, Jordan, and Chile have grown solar and wind energy at sufficient rates for five years...

The economic impact of climate progress

Not only is this an exciting and unprecedented development for the health of the environment, but this rapid transition to clean energy includes widespread benefits, like jobs growth, more secure supply chains, and reductions in energy price inflation. 

This progress spans both developing and developed countries, all driven to accelerate renewables for a number of different reasons: adopting smart and effective policies, maintaining political commitments, lowering the costs of renewable energy, and improving energy security. 

And with exponential growth of clean energy means sharp declines in prices. This puts fossil fuels at a higher, uncompetitive cost — both financially and figuratively. 

RMI suggests that solar energy is already the cheapest form of electricity in history — and will likely halve in price by 2030, falling as low as $20/MWh in the coming years. This follows previous trends: solar and battery costs have declined 80% between 2012 and 2022, and offshore wind costs are down 73%."

Let me repeat that:

For the first time in history, we are on an actual, provably achievable path to net zero emissions

Another mysterious infectious fatal disease has emerged outside the US.

At least 79 people have died from an unknown disease that is causing flu-like symptoms in south-western Democratic Republic of Congo, the health ministry says. The health ministry says the majority of people who have died are between the ages of 15 and 18. More than 300 people have been infected with patients exhibiting symptoms like fever, headaches, runny noses and coughs, breathing difficulties and anaemia.

If you do the math, this infection has a death rate of over 25%. It also targets young people like the deadly "Spanish Flu" pandemic of 1918-1919. Being "flu-like" means it may be difficult to distinguish from typical seasonal influenza. That also implies that it could easily be transmitted like the flu.

Response teams have been sent to Kwango Province, specifically the Panzi health zone, where the disease is most common, to manage cases and investigate the nature of the disease. Cephorien Manzanza, a civil society leader, told Reuters news agency the situation was worrying as the number of infected people continues to rise. "Panzi is a rural health zone, so there is a problem with the supply of medicines," he said. A World Health Organisation (WHO) Africa region official told the BBC they have "dispatched a team to the remote area to collect samples for lab investigations". Authorities have urged the population to remain calm and vigilant.

Kwango Province is adjacent to the region where the capital Kinshasa (pop. 17 million) is located.

If the Kwango infection spreads to the US after Trump's inauguration, we would be in even worse shape than when COVID-19 came to the US. Instead of Dr. Anthony Fauci, we'd have anti-vaxxing quacks like RFK Jr. and other clowns running American public health.

Trump himself would try to underplay a new pandemic the way he did in 2020. In case you've forgotten, this was his reaction to the first case of COVID in the US...

Trump waited until March 13th to declare a state of emergency. COVID had already spread to most of the US during the 50 days he hoped the infection would just go away on its own.

Urge your US senator to reject any Trump public health nominee who does not accept standard scientific and medical thinking related to infectious diseases.

In the meantime, it's a good idea to catch up on related vaccinations such as seasonal flu, COVID boosters, and RSV before the December holidays.

It did not seem like a good thing when a precious consignment of human tumour samples on its way from Kampala, Uganda, to Heathrow was diverted to Manchester. When the samples finally arrived at the Middlesex hospital in London, they were swimming in murky fluid in their vials as though they had been infected with bacteria.

But when the pathologist Anthony Epstein looked at the fluid under the microscope he saw no bacteria, just individual cells that had been shaken loose from the tumours. And that was just what he needed in order to search for elusive virus particles and test his hunch that they were causing cancer.

In the early 1960s Epstein, who has died aged 102, had heard a lecture by Denis Burkitt, an Irish surgeon working in Kampala, that described strange tumours (now known as Burkitt lymphoma) growing around the jaws of children in equatorial Africa.

Intriguingly, the geographical distribution of the condition seemed to depend on temperature and rainfall, suggesting a biological cause. Epstein, who had been working with viruses that cause cancer in chickens, immediately suspected a virus might be involved, perhaps in association with another tropical disease such as malaria.

Epstein began to collaborate with Burkitt, who supplied him with tumours from children he had treated. But Epstein’s efforts to grow pieces of tumour in the laboratory and isolate a virus had all been unsuccessful until the dissociated cells arrived.

With his graduate student Yvonne Barr, he then decided to look at cultures of these cells in an electron microscope, a powerful instrument that had only recently become available in his lab.

The very first image showed a tell-tale outline that looked like one of the family of herpes viruses. It turned out to be a previously undescribed member of that family, and was given the name Epstein-Barr virus. In 1964, Epstein, Barr and Epstein’s research assistant, Bert Achong, published the first evidence that cancer in humans could be caused by a virus – to be greeted by widespread scepticism even though they went on to demonstrate that EB virus caused tumours in monkeys.

Thanks to samples supplied by Epstein, in 1970 Werner and Gertrude Henle at the Children’s hospital in Philadelphia discovered that EB virus also caused glandular fever. That made it possible to design a test for antibodies to the virus in order to confirm a diagnosis. EB virus turned out to be very common, infecting most children in early life, though it usually causes glandular fever only in older teenagers and young adults. As well as causing Burkitt lymphoma in endemic areas in Africa and Papua New Guinea, it is also associated with a cancer of the nose and throat that is the most common cancer of men in south China, as well as cancers in people whose immune systems have been compromised, such as those infected with HIV.

More recent research suggests that EB virus might also be involved in some cases of multiple sclerosis, and that people who have previously had glandular fever are more susceptible to severe Covid-19.

After the discovery, Epstein and others devoted time and effort to trying to find out under what circumstances EB virus causes cancer. The relationship between the virus, other diseases, human genetics and cancer is complex, and it took decades before the medical community could accept the EB virus as a cause with confidence.

Not until 1997 did the International Agency for Research on Cancer class it as a Group 1 carcinogen, formally acknowledging its role in a variety of cancers.

The discovery of EB virus opened up a whole new field of research into cancer-causing viruses. It also raised the exciting possibility of preventing cancers through vaccination, an advance that has now been achieved in the case of human papilloma virus, which causes cervical cancer, and hepatitis B virus, which causes liver cancer.

By the time of his retirement in 1985, Epstein’s research group at the University of Bristol had developed a candidate vaccine that protected monkeys infected with EB virus against tumours, but neither it nor any other candidate has yet been successfully developed for human use.

Epstein was born in London, one of three children of Olga (nee Oppenheimer) and Mortimer Epstein. Mortimer was a writer and translator who edited The Statesman’s Yearbook for Macmillan from 1924 until his death in 1946. Olga was involved with charitable work in the Jewish community. Anthony attended St Paul’s school in west London, where the biology teacher Sidney Pask encouraged boys to go far beyond the syllabus and whose pupils also included Robert Winston and Jonathan Miller.

Epstein won a place to study medicine at Trinity College, Cambridge. He moved to Middlesex hospital medical school in wartime London to complete his training, before doing his national service in India with the Royal Army Medical Corps. He returned to work at the Middlesex hospital as assistant pathologist, conducting his own research. Thinking electron microscopy might be useful in his studies of cancer-causing viruses in chickens, he spent some time learning the new technique at the Rockefeller Institute in New York (now Rockefeller University). Not long afterwards he attended Burkitt’s lecture and began the serendipitous route to his discovery.

In 1968 he was appointed professor and head of the department of pathology at the University of Bristol, where he remained until his retirement. He moved to Oxford as a fellow of Wolfson College in 1986, becoming an honorary fellow in 2001.

An exemplary scientific good citizen, he served as foreign secretary and vice-president of the Royal Society, and sat on boards and councils for numerous national and international research organisations, including as a special representative of the director general of Unesco; he was also a patron of Humanists UK. Among his many prizes and honorary degrees, he received the international Gairdner award for biomedical research in 1988. He was appointed CBE in 1985 and knighted in 1991.

“It was a series of accidents, really,” he said of his discovery in a conversation with Burkitt they recorded for Oxford Brookes University’s oral history archive in 1991. “Lucky quirks.” Burkitt immediately responded with Louis Pasteur’s aphorism: “Chance favours the prepared mind.”

Epstein was a deeply cultured man who retained a lively interest in many subjects – particularly oriental rugs, Tibet and amphibians – until the end of his life.

He is survived by his partner, Kate Ward, by his children Susan, Simon and Michael, from his marriage to Lisbeth Knight, from whom he was separated in 1965, and who died in 2015, and by two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Book 45: The Icepick Surgeon

This week was a choice book, and last week has piqued my interest in a science history book again and who's more fun than Sam Kean? So I thought The Icepick Surgeon: Murder, Fraud, Sabotage, Piracy, and Other Dastardly Deeds Perpetrated in the Name of Science would make for a fun read. I suppose I should have paid more attention to the subtitle, because sure it had fun piracy, dinosaur wars, and money lender murders, but it also has slavery, misgendering and animal torture. Not all fun topics at all.

The first topic was piracy and that was fun, but the second was how science was entangled with slavery. Even something as abstract as Newton's Principia Mathematica used slave ship data on tides to propose the moon affected tides. Natural science was even worse and one could practically only get to Sub-Saharan Africa or South America to study plants and animals by slave ship transport and once there that was who you had to trade with for supplies. Even worse, many unscrupulous naturalists relied on slaves to gather samples, especially in the more dangerous areas. So tons of science museums' collections are built on slavery (in addition to the outright theft of property in history museums).

Other topics include the origins of forensic pathology helping solve a Harvard murder that resulted in the second and so far last Harvard graduate (and professor) to be executed, the dehumanizing experiments performed on a teenage Ted Kaczynski that undoubtedly helped turn him into the unibomber, and a overzealous yet lazy drug lab scientist swearing in court that a crushed up cashew was crack cocaine. The title refers to Walter Freeman performing lobotomies with a kitchen Icepick.

Best line: "Now, there's no truth to the rumor that Freeman dubbed the car he used on these trips "The Lobotomobile", but probably only because he didn't think of it."

Should you read this book: well, if you can stomach all the crimes against humanity and animals, it is very interesting. But there is a lot to take in. Sam Kean is always smooth, interesting reading

The galaxy TV station made an agreement to boost views. Creatures from 2 planets would go primitive for one week on the each other's planets.

The aliens who volunteered were random. The humans who volunteered were random. No one from either side were obvious experts. Just eager risk takers. They were told they could bring one item and the clothes they wore. Both teams would be supplied with irreplaceable air masks and a liquid filter for necessity. As soon as they were on the ships, they would live in luxury for the week long transfer. Each ship was well equipped with stuff on their home planet, and they had no access to information about the location. When the planets came in view, the windows were covered, and they were given a mini buffet and dressed in the clothes they brought. The hanger door opened, and both teams were instructed off. The ship left immediately.

The aliens were placed in Madagascar as a mellinium old reference to some Africa dream works movie with a lion, zebra, hippo, and giraff. Madagascar had been turned into a nature preserve along with many islands. The ecosystem had been restored by lab research and anti extinction scientists. The aliens were in awe. The only one who had ever been to earth had only ever seen the sky cities and a nature reserve called Colorado. There were no sky cities in sight. This was like a whole other world. They had been set on a boarding forest. Trees, bushes, and tall grass everywhere were filled with noise fluttering from every corner. The aliens thought humans were near and looked at their other option. It was an open grassland. With trees as wide as elephants. The leaves exploded out the very top. From a distance, they could see large animals that looked like specs compared to the trees. In fear, they went into the forest, dodging the crooked skinny trunks with stabbing branches all over. Small blurs scurred past above their heads. One alien who rock climbed back home thoguht to test all the trees for weight stability. He had hoped he'd be of help if they could see from higher up.

The humans were dropped off and practically ran into the new world. A geologist from earth was stunned by the glowing gem and hollwed out rocks. They looked at what might have been an obsidian wasteland. The rocks and natural holes like Swiss cheese and green liquid pooled in the pot holes along the ground. Behind them was something of beauty. A herd of animals 3 stories tall walked with shell covered legs. Its spikey skin buldged between the shells as it bent down to drink out of the green river. They had been dumped on a large island called Dodramatkiur. It was known for its half and half nature caused by a now stagnant volcano that erupted a thousand years before. The most terrifying part was the silence. They could hear there heart beats and distant thumping of the large animals. They could hear the river slowly hitting the rocky edge. Behind where the herd had flattened the ground was a forest like place. The trees with thick leaves covered in spots spirled up the trunks. One man tried to see if he could use them as stairs but it only held his weight for a few seconds. The largest man came over and suggest everyone shake to see if it was climbable with tools of sorts. It barely budged. Joy swept through the group.

(Sorry, I suck at writing) ( The groups continue, the aliens make a shelter first, but humans start making irrigation and develope a schedule while the aliens continue exploring. Half the aliens tap out on day 5 after a threatening attack by a Fassa fossa to an alien running ahead in the group. The rest tap out on day 6 when they get lost in plains and can't find a liquid source. One human taps out due to vitamin d deficiency in the cloudy planet with a few hours a day of sun and mostly light from three moons)

Day 7: (science explanation thing about how aliens would die from heat stroke or drying out in the sun)(humans built nice home and discovered they could use green liquid to swim and clean but not consume. They also found a way to have the lightest girl safely sprint up tree and harness a rope so the group could star gaze when the largest moon set)

Day 8: (Aliens put in medical things back home and humans deconstruct their space.)(disclaimer that no one died, sorry.)

"See you next time on New and Terrifying, that's all folks!"

Take a group of aliens from any Alliance, drop them in a forest on Earth, and they will be dead in a week. Take a group of humans and put them on any Deathworld and in one week there will be a functioning tribal society.

Chocolate Market Insights: Growth Challenges, Opportunities, and Strategic Forecasts to 2030

The chocolate market stands at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, offering a fascinating glimpse into an industry that continues to adapt to changing consumer preferences and global challenges. With steady growth projected through 2030, the market promises exciting opportunities while facing critical hurdles that require innovative solutions.

The global appetite for chocolate remains insatiable, with its versatility being a key driver. Beyond its role as a sweet indulgence, chocolate has become a platform for innovation, encompassing health-focused products, premium offerings, and sustainable sourcing. However, the journey to 2030 is marked by complex challenges, including environmental concerns, economic uncertainties, and evolving consumer demands.

Growth Drivers

One of the most significant factors propelling the chocolate market is the rising demand for premium and artisanal products. Consumers increasingly seek high-quality experiences, turning to dark chocolate, single-origin varieties, and unique flavor combinations. This preference has driven a surge in craft chocolate makers who focus on authenticity, storytelling, and ethical sourcing.

In emerging markets, particularly in Asia and Africa, rising incomes and urbanization have expanded the customer base for chocolate. Regions where chocolate consumption was traditionally lower are now becoming significant contributors to the market's growth. Companies entering these areas are tailoring their offerings to local tastes, blending global appeal with regional flavors.

The health and wellness trend has also reshaped the landscape. With consumers seeking healthier alternatives, low-sugar, organic, and functional chocolates with added benefits like protein or adaptogens have gained traction. Dark chocolate, in particular, has enjoyed popularity for its antioxidant properties and association with heart health.

Challenges Ahead

Despite its growth potential, the chocolate industry faces several challenges. Climate change remains a major concern, especially for cocoa production, which relies on specific environmental conditions. The majority of cocoa is grown in regions vulnerable to deforestation, changing weather patterns, and declining soil fertility. These factors threaten the stability of supply chains and the livelihoods of cocoa farmers.

Additionally, ethical issues in cocoa farming, such as child labor and unfair wages, have placed significant pressure on manufacturers to ensure transparency. Certifications like Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance are increasingly demanded by consumers, but implementing these standards comes at a cost that some companies struggle to bear.

The economic landscape also poses challenges. Inflation and fluctuating raw material prices, particularly for cocoa and sugar, have impacted profit margins. Manufacturers must balance affordability with profitability while maintaining quality standards that meet consumer expectations.

Strategic Opportunities

Innovation and sustainability will be central to overcoming these challenges. Companies are investing in alternative sources of cocoa, such as lab-grown and synthetic cocoa, to diversify supply chains and reduce environmental impact. Additionally, regenerative agriculture practices are gaining traction, promoting soil health and reducing carbon footprints.

Technology is playing a transformative role in the chocolate industry. Advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology are enhancing production processes, improving product traceability, and enabling personalized offerings. From flavor development to inventory management, digital tools are helping companies stay competitive in an evolving market.

The rise of direct-to-consumer models and e-commerce platforms presents another growth avenue. Online channels allow brands to connect with customers in new ways, offering tailored experiences and subscription-based models. This shift has also created opportunities for smaller players to reach global audiences without significant infrastructure investments.

Forecast to 2030

By 2030, the chocolate market is expected to grow significantly, driven by innovation, sustainability, and geographic expansion. Players who prioritize ethical practices, diversify their product portfolios, and leverage technology will be best positioned to thrive. Emerging markets will play a pivotal role, with customized strategies tailored to local preferences becoming essential for success.

While challenges such as climate change and supply chain disruptions will persist, the resilience of the chocolate industry and its ability to adapt offer a promising future. As consumer expectations continue to evolve, the chocolate market is poised to delight generations to come with its blend of tradition and ingenuity.

MIT K. Lisa Yang Center for Bionics celebrates Sierra Leone’s inaugural class of orthotic and prosthetic clinicians

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/mit-k-lisa-yang-center-for-bionics-celebrates-sierra-leones-inaugural-class-of-orthotic-and-prosthetic-clinicians/

MIT K. Lisa Yang Center for Bionics celebrates Sierra Leone’s inaugural class of orthotic and prosthetic clinicians

The MIT K. Lisa Yang Center for Bionics and Sierra Leone’s Ministry of Health (MOH) have launched the first fully accredited educational program for prosthetists and orthotists in Sierra Leone. 

Tens of thousands of people in Sierra Leone need orthotic braces and artificial limbs, but access to such specialized medical care in this African nation has been limited. On Nov. 7, the country’s inaugural class of future prosthetic and orthotic clinicians received their white coats at a ceremony in Sierra Leone’s National Rehabilitation Center, marking the start of their specialized training.

The agreement between the Yang Center and Sierra Leone’s MOH began last year with the signing of a detailed memorandum of understanding to strengthen the capabilities and services of that country’s orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) sector. The bionics center is part of the larger Yang Tan Collective at MIT, whose mission is to improve human well-being by accelerating science and engineering collaborations at a global scale. 

The Sierra Leone initiative includes improvements across the supply chain for assistive technologies, clinic infrastructure and tools, technology translation pipelines, and education opportunities for Sierra Leoneans to expand local O&P capacity. The establishment of the new education and training program in Sierra Leone advances the collaboration’s shared goal to enable sustainable and independent operation of O&P services for the tens of thousands of citizens who live with physical disabilities due to amputation, poliomyelitis infection, or other causes.

Students in the program will receive their training through the Human Study School of Rehabilitation Sciences, a nongovernmental organization based in Germany whose training models have been used across 53 countries, including 15 countries in Africa.

“This White Coat Ceremony is an important milestone in our comprehensive strategy to transform care for persons with disabilities,” says Hugh Herr SM ’93, a professor of media arts and sciences at the MIT Media Lab and co-director of the K. Lisa Yang Center for Bionics at MIT, who has led the center’s engagement with the MOH. “We are proud to introduce the first program in Sierra Leone to offer this type of clinical education, which will improve availability and access to prosthetic and orthotic health care across the nation.”

The ceremony featured a keynote address by the Honorable Chief Minister of Sierra Leone David Sengeh SM ’12, PhD ’16. Sengeh, a former graduate student of Herr’s research group and longtime advocate for a more inclusive Sierra Leone, has taken a personal interest in this collaboration.

“The government is very happy that this collaboration with the K. Lisa Yang Center for Bionics at MIT falls within our national development plan and our priorities,” says Sengeh. “Our goal is to invest in human capacity and strengthen systems for inclusion.”

Francesca Riccio-Ackerman, the graduate student lead for this project, adds that “this program has created opportunities for persons with disabilities to become clinicians that will treat others with the same condition, setting an example in inclusivity.”

The inaugural class of O&P students includes 11 men and women from across Sierra Leone who have undergone intensive preparatory training and passed a rigorous international standard entrance exam to earn their position in the program. The students are scheduled to complete their training in early 2027 and will have the opportunity to become certified as associate prosthetist/orthotists by the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics, the gold standard for professionals in the field.

The program utilizes a hybrid educational model developed by the Human Study School of Rehabilitation Sciences.

“Human Study’s humanitarian education program is unique. We run the world’s only prosthetics and orthotics school that meets international standards at all three levels of the P&O profession,” says Chris Schlief, founder and CEO of Human Study. “We are delighted to be working with the Ministry of Health and MIT’s K. Lisa Yang Center for Bionics to bring our training to Sierra Leone. Prosthetics and orthotics have an essential role to play in increasing mobility, dignity, and equality for people with disabilities. We are proud to be a partner in this groundbreaking program, training the first generation of P&O clinicians. This program will have an impact for generations to come.”

As for Sengeh, who authored the book, “Radical Inclusion: Seven Steps to Help You Create a More Just Workplace, Home, and World,” the new program in Sierra Leone embodies his vision for a more inclusive world. “Personally, as an MIT alumnus and chief minister of Sierra Leone, this is what true vision, action, and impact look like. As I often say, through Radical Inclusion #WeWillDeliver.”

At least 79 people have died from an unknown disease that is causing flu-like symptoms in south-western Democratic Republic of Congo, the health ministry says. The health ministry says the majority of people who have died are between the ages of 15 and 18. More than 300 people have been infected with patients exhibiting symptoms like fever, headaches, runny noses and coughs, breathing difficulties and anaemia. Response teams have been sent to Kwango Province, specifically the Panzi health zone, where the disease is most common, to manage cases and investigate the nature of the disease. Cephorien Manzanza, a civil society leader, told Reuters news agency the situation was worrying as the number of infected people continues to rise. "Panzi is a rural health zone, so there is a problem with the supply of medicines," he said. A World Health Organisation (WHO) Africa region official told the BBC they have "dispatched a team to the remote area to collect samples for lab investigations".
