โ๏ธ From the editor
The day long waits ended
A lot of today's news is about waiting that ended. In central New Mexico, a wind farm and transmission project years in the making is now sending power to the grid. In New York, the City Council voted to end horse-drawn carriage rides by 2028, after a decade of argument. The mayor still has to sign it. In Quebec, Jean Paul Riopelle's abstract paintings now have a permanent home in a new pavilion.
The science section is worth a slow read today. The FDA approved a GSK hepatitis B drug that extends functional cures to far more patients than earlier methods. A personalized mRNA vaccine from Moderna and Merck cut the risk of melanoma coming back by 42 percent in a trial. A cell therapy for stiff person syndrome could follow, if the FDA agrees.
And in Colorado, a bridge built only for animals has cut vehicle collisions by 91 percent since it opened last December.
Have a good weekend.
