In a striking contrast, the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files continues to reverberate in Europe, leading to the downfall of elite figures, while the United States' reckoning remains muted, according to reports from NPR News and NPR Politics. Simultaneously, in the realm of technology and health, US Deputy Health Secretary Jim O'Neill discussed his plans to increase human healthspan through longevity-focused research, as revealed in an exclusive interview with MIT Technology Review. Furthermore, a study suggests moderate caffeine intake might reduce dementia risk, as reported by Nature News.
The Epstein files have triggered significant consequences in Europe. Peter Mandelson was fired last year from his position as Britain's ambassador to the U.S. and resigned from the UK Labour Party earlier this month due to ties with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to NPR News and NPR Politics. European royals, government officials, and politicians are losing jobs and titles, and European law enforcement agencies are opening investigations based on recent findings. However, the U.S. response has been notably less severe.
Meanwhile, Jim O'Neill, the US Deputy Health Secretary, holds significant power, overseeing a department with a budget exceeding a trillion dollars, as reported by MIT Technology Review. He also signed the decision memorandum on the US's new vaccine schedule. O'Neill, who is also a longevity enthusiast, described his plans to increase human healthspan through research supported by ARPA-H, during an interview with MIT Technology Review earlier this month.
In other news, a study suggests that moderate caffeine intake might reduce dementia risk, according to Nature News. The study, which involved 130,000 people, indicates a potential link between coffee consumption and slower brain aging. This finding adds to the ongoing research into the effects of lifestyle choices on cognitive health.
