The original federal websites had provided the public with basic information about COVID-19, such as vaccines, treatment, and testing. But those sites are gone, and now direct visitors to the White House website and a page titled, The True Origins of COVID-19. That theory argues the virus escaped from a Chinese government lab in Wuhan, China, and then spread around the world.

Colossal Biosciences in Dallas says company scientists edited the genes of gray wolves to breed animals with key traits of dire wolves. Dire wolves have been extinct for more than 12,000 years and were featured in the HBO series Game of Thrones. The colossal scientists created embryos from genetically modified gray wolf cells and then implanted them into female dogs.

The surrogate mother dogs gave birth to three healthy wolves with dire wolf traits. The company named the animals Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi. Colossal hopes to do something similar with other extinct species, including the woolly mammoth. Rob Stein, NPR News.

Researchers at Brown University analyzed data collected from more than 73,000 older adults in the United States and Europe between 2010 and 2022. They weren't surprised to find that the wealthiest people in both the U.S. and Europe tended to live longer than the poorest. But they were surprised by this.

The wealthiest Americans didn't live as long as the most affluent Europeans and only tend to have the longevity of the poorest Western and Northern Europeans. That's despite the fact that the U.S. spends more than any other wealthy country on health care. Rob Stein, NPR News.

From almost the moment President Donald Trump took office, he has made his plans for science and the federal funding of science known. Just a few days after the inauguration, Trump suspended public communications across the Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS.

They oversee the National Institutes for Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Food and Drug Administration. Trump then issued executive orders to terminate all work related to DEI, environmental justice, and gender inclusivity. And these effects rippled through scientific institutions. The CDC purged thousands of pages from its website.
