TIME100 Health: Melanie Ward | TIME

The U.K.-based nonprofit Medical Aid for Palestinians was founded 40 years ago to improve health care for all Palestinian people. So when war between Israel and Hamas broke out in the fall of 2023, CEO Melanie Ward knew her group would need to respond. “This is what the organization was built for,” she says.Ward and her team started working immediately following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, arranging for Medical Aid for Palestinians’ warehouses in Gaza to begin distributing more than $500,000 worth of medical supplies over the next two days in anticipation of an Israeli response. Since then, the group has provided food, hygiene kits, blankets, mattresses, and around $7 million in medical supplies to people in Gaza.

Brits, Burberry and the Biennale! Inside the British Pavilion opening

Outside, a queue of smartly dressed punters were fighting for a blue knight on horseback logo stamp, and inside tuna tartare, artichokes and greasy, delicious ham-and-cheese toasties were eagerly passed around. Those who made it in the building were faced with London’s art honchos — Tristram Hunt, director of the V&A; curator Victoria Broackes; and Victoria Siddall, the board director of Frieze, all present. Plus, Bianca Brandolini d’Adda, the model and Italian aristo; bright young things Sydney Lima, Rhea Dillon and Isaac Benigson; and, of course, Burberry’s creative director, Daniel Lee, were all along for the ride.

TIME100 Health: Joel Habener, Dan Drucker, Svetlana Mojsov and Jens Juul Holst

Newly powerful weight-loss drugs became the biggest story in health in the past year—and Dr. Jens Juul Holst, Dr. Joel Habener, Svetlana Mojsov, and Dr. Daniel Drucker played pivotal roles in making those medications possible. The scientists conducted the early work, beginning in the 1970s, on glucagon-like peptides, or GLPs, that first transformed the treatment of diabetes and now that of obesity. As with many groundbreaking medical developments, it was a group effort. Holst, at the University of Copenhagen (where he’s now professor of endocrinology and metabolism), noticed that after intestinal surgery, patients’ levels of insulin soared while their blood-sugar levels dropped; he attributed the changes to several gut-related hormones, including glucagon, which is made in the pancreas.

Introduced as a one-year “emergency” measure to ease the cost of living crisis, free school meals proved so popular that Mr Khan wants to make them permanent.

TIME100 Health: Alex Oshmyansky | TIME

Sometimes all it takes is a cold email to start a revolution. Dr. Alex Oshmyansky, a radiologist who had become incensed by the runaway prices of prescription drugs, decided to email billionaire and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who famously makes his contact info public. He included a business plan for a small company he had created in 2018 that made drugs and sold them at cost. Intrigued, Cuban responded in five minutes, and was quickly drawn in by Oshmyansky’s passion and outrage over how consumers were getting “ripped off.” Cuban provided an initial investment and his name, and Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Co. was launched in 2022. The name is as transparent as the company’s mission—which involves selling more than 2,500 generic medications at cost, plus 15% to cover shipping and han...

Fashion news! Sydney Sweeney swaps trousers for heels, Mercedes gets chic and Armani’s London exhibition

I moved here in 1984 and it was crazy. I had been working for Interview Magazine in New York and I came to shoot the scene happening in London. There was this cultural explosion happening with Leigh Bowery, Trojan and Michael Clark and Culture Club. We were in Taboo, and I fell in with people like Princess Julia, Jeffrey Hinton, John Maybury, the director, and Stevie and David from BodyMap. I was sleeping on their couches, I had no idea they were at the epicentre of creative London. I thought I’d seen it all in New York, but London was next level wildness. I learnt an important lesson in those years: a sense of originality. If you copied someone else's work you were looked down upon. It was not cool. Everyone had their own creative voice — today, so much is made from mood boards off Instag...
