π That's today's ten. You're all caught up.
Tomorrow's ten and a fresh letter arrive each morning. There's nothing else to scroll here, on purpose. The sections above are open all day.
βοΈ From the editor
Things that found their way back
Some days the news sorts itself into a theme. Today's is return. More than 300 California condors now live in the wild, a species declared extinct there in 1987. At Adelaide Zoo, a pair of southern cassowaries laid eggs for the first time in 34 years. In New Orleans, old Christmas trees dropped by helicopter are trapping sediment so marsh grass can grow back.
The other side of that theme is something not returning. A personalized mRNA vaccine, given with Keytruda, cut the risk of melanoma coming back or causing death by 42% in a Phase III trial. That is a trial result, not an approved treatment yet. It is still worth noting.
If you have a few minutes, the kindness section is worth a look. Half a million people in the Kindness Mob quietly step in when someone is targeted online. Over 600 households have turned Halloween displays into $1.2 million for pediatric cancer.
Rest well this Sunday.
