abcnews.go.com -- US officially exits World Health Organization, accusing agency of straying 'from its core mission'.
"Withdrawing from the World Health Organization is scientifically reckless. It fails to acknowledge the fundamental natural history of infectious diseases. Global cooperation is not a luxury; it is a biological necessity," Ronald Nahass, president of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, told ABC News.

Our analysis of job postings data from the US, UK, France, Germany and the Netherlands shows no clear evidence that AI is behind the slowdown in early-career employment across much of the west, and indeed casts doubt on many of the assumptions underlying this narrative, with simpler, non-AI explanations better fitting the data.
