Science and technology in today’s news are less about discovery than deployment: in Australia, experts say shark-attack deterrents—from drones and smart drumlines to wearable devices—already exist, but broader, coordinated use is needed to turn promising tools into routine public safety. Elsewhere, systems under strain dominate the picture. In Geneva, authorities and businesses are leaning on surveillance, barriers and closures ahead of anti-G7 protests, underscoring how security planning now shapes urban life as much as commerce does. In Canada, Air Canada’s tentative deal with more than 11,000 IAMAW workers points to another kind of infrastructure challenge, where skilled labor, maintenance and operations remain central to keeping a complex transport network running. Together, the stories suggest a common theme: modern societies often have the means to reduce risk, but the real test is whether institutions can implement those solutions at scale.
