AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Ig Nobel in Zurich: Quirky science awards went to studies including cockroach milk, nose-blowing, and even soil health tests using underwear—held outside the U.S. for visa reasons. Glacier protection in Switzerland: Researchers on the Tsanfleuron Glacier tested biodegradable sheep-wool sheets as a plastic-free alternative to synthetic covers, with early results suggesting similar heat protection. Heart-drug setback for Novartis: Pelacarsen lowered lipoprotein(a) but failed to cut major heart attacks and strokes in a late-stage trial, a blow to Novartis’ cardiovascular pipeline. Climate risk spotlight: Scientists warn that as glaciers melt, cascading hazards multiply, and preparedness is lagging. AI and the maritime industry: A commentary argues AI can be a “tailwind” for ship operations, but only if companies adopt it properly rather than blindly. Space tech snag: NASA confirmed a Deorbit-as-a-Service capture attempt failed on Katalyst’s LINK spacecraft, underscoring reliability and interface gaps. Swiss education tie-up (Ohio): A “Switzerland of Ohio” school district partnership expands pathways to college credit in career-technical programs.
