OverviewThe latest Global Gas Flaring Tracker, an independent report of gas flaring worldwide, reveals that global gas flaring rose for the third consecutive year in 2025, reaching 167 billion cubic meters (bcm), the highest recorded level since 2019. The gas wastefully burned could have powered homes and industries, created jobs, reduced import bills, and extended electricity access and clean cooking fuels for communities that still lack it. Published annually by the World Bank's Global Flaring and Methane Reduction (GFMR) Partnership, in collaboration with the Payne Institute at the Colorado School of Mines, the report provides a comprehensive independent assessment of global gas flaring volumes, intensity, and trends. A Missed OpportunityThe report finds that the 167 bcm flared globally in 2025 exceeds the volume of LNG that transited the Persian Gulf that year, a stark measure of the energy value being wasted. It also matches Africa's entire annual gas consumption, a continent where energy poverty remains a significant barrier to economic development.

On June 4, the federal government released Canada's National Artificial Intelligence Strategy: AI for All, a six-pillar framework aimed at strengthening national sovereignty and accelerating the safe, responsible adoption of AI across the Canadian economy. The Strategy covers a broad range of issues, including infrastructure, privacy, and healthcare. This bulletin focuses on employment and workforce implications for employers and organizations procuring or deploying AI in workplace settings. The Strategy itself does not create new employment law obligations; however, it is a meaningful signal of where federal policy, funding programs, standards, and future legislation may develop.

“Europe will always choose science,” Ursula von der Leyen announced in May 2025 in a landmark speech that kicked off a European Union-wide campaign to attract scientists fleeing the chaotic US research environment. The president of the European Commission, the EU’s executive branch in Brussels, didn’t explicitly mention US President Donald Trump, but she didn’t have to. Trump’s administration had in the preceding months frozen grant funding, pulled the United States from global scientific organizations and begun firing federal research staff. doi: https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-026-01955-1Additional reporting by Celeste Biever and Richard Van Noorden.

Balakrishnan Mahesh, cardiac and transplant surgeon, directs where to place a donor heart during the first transplant use of a new perfusion system, called "Heart-in-a-Box," which greatly improves preservation of donor hearts for transplant, at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center on Saturday, June 13. Credit: Penn State Health . All Rights Reserved. HERSHEY, Pa. — Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center has performed its first heart transplant using a new cardiac preservation technology that keeps donor hearts pumping outside the body, marking a step forward in expanding donor availability and improving patient outcomes. The system, known as the TransMedics Organ Care System — or “Heart‑in‑a‑Box” — allows surgeons to maintain and assess the heart during transport, potentially increasing the number of viable transplants. Unlike traditional cold storage, this technology allows donor hearts to be transported while beating and functioning outside the body. By maintaining the heart in a warm, oxygenated state, clinicians can better assess organ function and extend the time the heart is outside the body. With this device, Milton S.

Multi-sport superstar athlete Lenya Roberts put on quite the show at the most recent Provincials, and the young phenom is looking forward to doing more damage in the future. Leading up to Provincials, Roberts says she had success and kept building from there. "At Zones, I won in shot put, and then I got second in discus," she says proudly. "So the top three qualify for Provincials. I was mainly focused on discus. That's what I trained for with Mr. (Al) Wirth. So I made it to the finals on that Sunday. I was competing for third, and then my friend Kemi from Team Manitoba, where we went to Westerns together, she out threw me on her third throw and then knocked me to fourth, but all love. She earned that. "

Halo TV series. | Credit: ParamountIt's no secret that Halo has struggled to find success outside of video games, and I'll be the first to admit that, as a massive Halo fan, the Halo TV series from Paramount+ was one of the worst shows I've ever had the displeasure of watching. Credit where it's due, though. The show occasionally delivered some genuinely impressive action sequences, even if they were often followed moments later by Master Chief removing his helmet for no apparent reason. But I digress. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Xbox Chief Content Officer Matt Booty was asked whether Halo could return to television following the cancellation of the Paramount+ series. "The previous Halo adaptation at Paramount+ didn't make it past season 2, but the series shot to the top of the charts when Netflix picked up its streaming distribution. Could it come back? "Booty's response was brief, but interesting:Halo, first and foremost, is one of our biggest franchises. It's iconic to Xbox and we're certainly going to invest going forward.

Diet and health are closely related, but the details can be fuzzy, with so many variables at play. The more clarity scientists can get, the more control we can take over our health through what we eat and drink. Now a new study from an international team of researchers has produced some intriguing findings in this area. They relate specifically to onions. The team found that liking the smell and the taste of onions was associated with lower odds of developing either type 2 diabetes or having high blood pressure. Certain genes are linked to taste and smell receptors. (Engin Akyurt/Unsplash)And how they got there is an interesting journey through genetics – an approach that the researchers believe could be used to discover diet and health associations that are more reliable and more definitive. "Our research shows taste and smell genes are promising tools for studying links between diet and disease and can help strengthen evidence about cause and effect in nutrition research," says genetic epidemiologist Daniel Hwang, from the University of Queensland in Australia.
