Breakthrough In Search For HIV Cure Leaves Researchers ‘Overwhelmed’
by Kat Lay, The Guardian
A cure for HIV could be a step closer after researchers found a new way to force the virus out of hiding inside human cells. The virus’s ability to conceal itself inside certain white blood cells has been one of the main challenges for scientists looking for a cure. It means there is a reservoir of the HIV in the body, capable of reactivation, that neither the immune system nor drugs can tackle. Now researchers from the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity in Melbourne, have demonstrated a way to make the virus visible, paving the way to fully clear it from the body.
UAP And Science: Testing New Methods Of Scientific Analysis
by Paul Scott Anderson, EarthSky
By their nature, UAP (unidentified anomalous phenomena), or UFOs, are difficult to study scientifically. Claimed sightings are often fleeting and can’t be reproduced for additional analysis. Various studies have attempted to glean as much information as possible, however, with varying degrees of success. Now, a new research team at the University at Albany (UAlbany) in New York has proposed new rigorous methods to study UAP. The physicists said on June 4, 2025, that the new work builds on previous studies from numerous other researchers. The researchers used infrared cameras, radar weather data, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other instruments for their first tests.

Smoking Rates Fall To Lowest Ever, Led By Our Young People And A Changing Culture
by Andy Corbley, Good News Network
Two national smoking surveys in the UK and the US which both concluded last October show that smoking rates are among the lowest ever observed. The national smoking rates in the US based on a survey of 1.77 million people and 54,000 households are falling across the board, with the largest declines seen in America’s youth. Places with historically lower rates of smoking saw more modest declines, while areas with higher rates saw the most dramatic declines. Seniors and those aged over 50 though were quitting at significantly slower rates than youth.
French Polynesia Just Created The World’s Largest Marine Protected Area
by Simmone Shah, Time
French Polynesia announced the creation of the world’s largest Marine Protected Area (MPA), at the U.N. Ocean Conference in France. The MPA will cover the entirety of the country’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ), almost 5 million square kilometers (more than 1.9 million square miles) and will restrict extractive practices like deep-sea mining and bottom-trawling, a destructive type of fishing that drags large nets along the seafloor. Of that 5 million, 1.1 million square kilometers (424,712 square miles) will be designated as a highly or fully protected area where only traditional coastal fishing, ecotourism, and scientific exploration, will be allowed.
