G20 countries, including China, are responsible for about 80% of global CO2 emissions. With help of Climate Trace, which relies on AI-analysis of satellite data, now the major emitters can be reliably traced.

Last year, the  G7 heads declared to end funding for the oil industry by the end of this year. At the COP27 in November, the WHO and United Nations renewed promises to redirect the hundreds of billions of dollars invested annually in fossil fuels to fund renewable energy initiatives.

Strategic planning for the development of a novel therapy is critically important to reduce financial burdens, save time, and find the best, shortest path forwards. No two products will have the same pathway or same criterion for optimisation, but early, forward-looking planning can result in greater efficiency and a better understanding of key decisions and timepoints along the course of novel therapy development.

Maintaining the integrity of tumour biomarkers during processing and storage is of great importance for the accurate diagnosis and prognosis of many diseases, including cancers. To safely store samples for research or clinical uses, freezing procedures are used to arrest the ­degradation of biomarkers. However, the stability of these molecules depends upon long-term ­storage conditions.
