Science today spans catastrophe, memory, markets and the climate frontier. In the Philippines, officials say years of earthquake drills helped keep deaths to 55 after a powerful 7.8 quake off Mindanao, even as more than 12,000 homes were damaged and tens of thousands displaced. In India, the first anniversary of the Air India AI-171 crash near Ahmedabad has renewed grief and sharpened demands for answers, with families still waiting on fuller investigative findings. Nigeria’s Democracy Day, meanwhile, looked backward to move forward, as President Bola Tinubu honored pro-democracy figures from the struggle against military rule and tied their legacy to stronger institutions. In Australia, a major fertility provider says IVF activity has softened, hinting at pressure in a sector once defined by takeover interest. And at the far edge of the planet, researchers aboard the Nathaniel B. Palmer race the melt, gathering Antarctic ice and seawater to better understand a warming world.
