An investigational blood test flagged stage 1 and 2 pancreatic cancer about 87% of the time in a study of roughly 1,800 people. Not FDA-cleared. Still a big deal.

Decades of vaccination and surveillance turned a dangerous pregnancy infection into a preventable public-health victory.
THE LAND CHANGED HANDS.
An English grouse-and-sheep estate is being reworked around peat, wildlife and long-term restoration instead.
ONE BIRD BOUGHT THE LAND.
A bird nobody had scientifically recorded helped trigger a conservation network protecting habitat across Ecuador.
