In a stark contrast between continents, the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files continues to reverberate in Europe, leading to the downfall of elite figures, while the United States has seen a muted response, according to multiple news sources. Simultaneously, the US Deputy Health Secretary, Jim O'Neill, is focused on longevity research, and a new study suggests moderate caffeine intake may slow brain aging.
Peter Mandelson, formerly Britain's ambassador to the U.S., was fired last year and resigned from the UK Labour Party earlier this month due to ties with Epstein, a convicted sex offender, as reported by NPR. European royals, government officials, and politicians are losing their positions and titles, and European law enforcement agencies are opening investigations based on recent findings. However, the U.S. has yet to see similar consequences, with the reckoning appearing muted, according to NPR.
Meanwhile, Jim O'Neill, the US Deputy Health Secretary, is a key figure in public health, overseeing a department with a budget exceeding a trillion dollars, as detailed in MIT Technology Review. He signed the decision memorandum on the US's new vaccine schedule and is also focused on increasing human healthspan through longevity-focused research supported by ARPA-H. In an exclusive interview, O'Neill discussed his plans to increase human healthspan.
In other news, a study suggests that moderate caffeine intake might reduce dementia risk, according to Nature News. The study, which analyzed data from 130,000 people, indicates a link between coffee consumption and slower brain aging.
Finally, director Rafael Manuel spent years developing his debut feature "Filipinana," which explores themes similar to HBO's "The White Lotus," according to Variety. The film delves into the experiences of a teenage girl working at an elite Manila country club.
