Study finds genetic link for rare brain developmental disorder

A team of international researchers has uncovered a new genetic cause for a rare developmental disorder that profoundly impacts brain growth and function in children. The team led by the University of Otago–Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka from New Zealand pinpointed specific changes in a gene called CRNKL1 that can potentially cause a severe genetic disorder that results in affected individuals having profound pre- and postnatal microcephaly (smaller head circumference), with pontocerebellar hypoplasia (underdevelopment in brain stem and cerebellum), seizures and severe intellectual disability. The finding sheds new light on the complex process by which human bodies create the "instruction manuals" essential for building and maintaining our brains, said Louise Bicknell, Associate Professor, from th...

Here’s Who Needs Android’s New Advanced Security Protection (and Who Probably Doesn’t)

Android users got a whole host of security and privacy upgrades with the release of Android 16, including expanded in-call scam protection, live threat detection for malicious apps, and more. These features are well worth enabling, as they'll help secure your data and your device against theft, malware, and phishing attacks. Google also extended its Advanced Protection Program to include stricter device-level features aimed at reducing the risk of compromise. Advanced Protection offers the most robust all-around security available on Android under a single setting—an incredibly useful tool for journalists, activists, and anyone with access to sensitive data that could be targeted by threat actors. Those who are especially privacy- and security-minded may also want to enable Advanced Protec...

Trump says U.S. terminating trade talks with Canada ‘effective immediately’ – National

U.S. President Donald Trump says his administration is terminating trade talks with Canada, “effective immediately.” Trump said on Truth Social the decision was due to Canada, which he called “a very difficult country to trade with,” moving ahead with a digital services tax on American technology firms that operate in Canada.“Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating All discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately,” he wrote. “We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period.”The statement comes after Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney had agreed at last week’s G7 leaders’ summit in Alberta to pursue negotiations on a new trade and security deal within 30 days.Pressure ha...

What counts for NATO’s defence infrastructure spending? Not just minerals – National

A key portion of NATO members’ new pledge to spend at least five per cent of their GDP on defence includes up to 1.5 per cent committed to infrastructure and other defence-related investments — and it’s broadly defined. Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday after endorsing the spending plan at The Hague during the annual NATO leaders’ summit that critical minerals projects and other areas where Canada is already spending money could help reach that 1.5 per cent.“We’re going to do a more proper accounting of that,” he said. “We have to show that, and we have to be deliberate and strategic about it.”Defence and economic policy experts agree that the NATO agreement is broad enough that it affords allies a lot of wiggle room to justify certain projects as being defence-related.
