The World Health Organization (WHO) today announced a global call inviting organizations and institutions to affiliate with Together for Science and Health, a new movement to strengthen the connection between science, health and society and build trust in evidence-informed decision-making. Science has changed the course of human health. Antibiotics have made once-deadly bacterial infections treatable. Advances in vaccination, nutrition, sanitation and medical care have helped millions more children survive and thrive. Antiretroviral treatment has enabled millions of people living with HIV to live longer and healthier lives. Cancer screening, prevention and new treatments are helping to prevent cancers, detect them earlier and improve and extend lives. These achievements show what is possible when scientific discoveries are translated into action. But progress cannot be taken for granted. People need to be able to trust scientific evidence, understand what it means for their lives, help shape the questions science seeks to answer and have a fair opportunity to benefit from its advances. No single institution can achieve this alone.

Orcas are hunting great White Sharks around the world, scientists confirm - Geo News
Orcas are hunting great White Sharks around the world, scientists confirmThe killing of great whites by orcas has been reported in the waters of South Africa, California, and Australia, and the implications that the hunting behaviour would have on the marine ecosystem have been considered. In fact, it all started back on May 3, 2017, when the body of a female great white, weighing 1,100 kilograms, washed ashore in Gansbaai, close to Cape Town, with a deep gash through which its 90-kilogram liver had been extracted. Five more corpses of great whites appeared with similar wounds in the coming months, as claimed by shark biologist Alison Towner of Rhodes University. Two adult males, called Port and Starboard, who are supposed to be brothers judging by their dorsal fins that fold differently, were identified as the most probable perpetrators. The connection was officially established in 2022 based on video footage of a drone that caught three orcas chasing and biting a 3-meter great white off Mossel Bay. The sharks quickly disappeared from Dyer Island, one of the best places in the world to witness a great white.
