Science in Defense of Life: How the Admistration is Politicizing Scientists - The Cornell Daily Sun
My name is Sriram Parasurama and I am a second year PhD student in the graduate field of Horticulture, in the School of Integrative Plant Science. The College of Agriculture and Life Science has long been a cornerstone of this University’s popularity and profits, with the plant breeding and veterinary science programs being among the top in the nation. I often find beautiful parallels between the systems I study, the symbiosis of fungi and trees, and the depth of community and genuine relational nature in which the graduate student community works together. We are all waking up to the ultimate responsibility of the scientist — undeterred defense of life and truth. Sriram Parasurama is a second-year PhD student in the graduate field of Horticulture, School of Integrative Plant Sciences.

Now is the time to act against river, canal encroachers, says Rizwana
Now is the right time to take exemplary action against encroachers of rivers and canals, says Environment Adviser Rizwana Hasan. The adviser explained that the Jamuna River, with its constant cycle of erosion and rebuilding, presents unique challenges. Therefore, resources allocated to this ministry will be equitably distributed across prioritised districts to ensure no area feels neglected,” she said. Rizwana highlighted the need for sustainable solutions, including resettling landless people in newly emerged river areas and promoting afforestation projects. She said allowing industrial development in these newly formed river areas could lead to increased pollution in the river.

Germany's Scholz under pressure to hold quick confidence vote
REUTERSGermany's opposition conservatives urged Chancellor Olaf Scholz to allow a vote of confidence immediately and hold elections in January, the day after his rocky three-way coalition collapsed and plunged the country into political turmoil. The chancellor said he would hold a confidence vote in January, which he would likely lose, triggering new elections by the end of March - six months ahead of elections originally scheduled for September. Joerg Kukies, a top official in the German chancellery and close SPD ally of Scholz, will be named finance minister, a government spokesperson said on Thursday. German industry, reeling from high costs and fierce Asian competition, also urged Berlin on Thursday to hold snap elections as soon as possible. Merz said he would urge Scholz to speed up the confidence vote in his meeting with him scheduled for midday.

New Zealand expect England to stick to attacking ways
The Black Caps’ 3-0 sweep of India has revived their hopes of reaching the World Test Championship finalNew Zealand expect England to stick to their attacking brand of cricket when they face the Black Caps in the upcoming home Test series despite Ben Stokes's team crashing to defeat in Pakistan. New Zealand, rejuvenated after a 3-0 whitewash of India, face England in three tests starting on Nov 28 in Christchurch. England lost 2-1 in Pakistan, putting their aggressive Test batting approach, which has been dubbed 'Bazball', under the microscope. The Black Caps lie fourth in the race behind Australia, India and Sri Lanka. Latham said it was a "big carrot" for New Zealand to perform against England but they were not focusing on the future implications.
