Acclaimed biologist Xu Xianzhong returns to China after arrests in his US lab

Renowned biologist Xu Xianzhong has returned to China, taking up a full-time position in the southern tech hub of Shenzhen, months after four researchers in his laboratory at the University of Michigan were accused by the United States of “biological material smuggling”. Xu, a fellow of the prestigious American Association for the Advancement of Science – has joined the Shenzhen Medical Academy of Research and Translation (SMART) as a senior investigator with its Institute of Bio-Architecture...

AI will make language barriers disappear – and diminish our understanding of other cultures

Machines may soon translate every conversation flawlessly. But language is more than information – it is curiosity, intimacy and cultural discoveryOne of my earliest assignments as a young interpreter was to provide simultaneous interpretation for the proceedings of an ecumenical council that brought together all Christian denominations. As my homework, I dutifully read scripture, the gospels, papal encyclicals and the conclusion of the first council of Nicaea.There was, however, one thing I had not foreseen. Mass was held not in the conference hall, but in the church itself, where there were no booths and the interpreter was required to stand discreetly on the altar. Here, translation alone would not suffice – the interpreter had to perform the part of the priest, with his unmistakable clerical timbre, the arms outstretched then folded in prayer, the gaze repeatedly lifted towards heaven.

‘Being human helps’: despite rise of AI is there still hope for Europe’s translators?

A booming tech sector has disrupted translation jobs in publishing – but they could be needed for a while longer yetIn February 2022, while he was plugging away at rendering the US writer Dana Spiotta’s novel Wayward into French, the literary translator Yoann Gentric decided he needed a bit of light relief. He would test whether AI could put him out of work.Gentric had been grappling with a short non-verbal sentence that described the book’s protagonist’s feelings upon opening a window: “Bright, sharp night air, bracing.” He put the prompt into DeepL, a neural-network-powered machine translation engine that regularly outperforms Google Translate in accuracy assessments.

UAE Exit from OPEC Marks Culmination of Saudi Arabia Conflict Over Oil Prices and Production Quotas

The UAE announced it will withdraw from OPEC and OPEC+ on May 1, 2026, ending a conflict with Saudi Arabia dating to 2020 over oil prices and production quotas. The expert cited a $40 gap between Saudi Arabia's $90 break-even price and the UAE's $50, with OPEC quotas limiting UAE to below its desired 5 mln barrels daily despite $150 bln investment. The timing was also driven by the Hormuz Strait crisis in March, which caused the largest supply failure since the 1970s, with UAE production plummeting 44% to 1.9 mln bpd and 230 tankers blocked.

Yes, retail investment needs a boost – but the squirrel looks too tame | Nils Pratley

Ambition behind investing campaign is laudable, yet cutting stamp duty on share purchases, for example, would be much more savvyCity firms bank on ‘savvy’ ad campaign to push Brits towards investingRed squirrel characters have a history in the public information game. Older UK readers may recall Tufty, who taught children about road safety in the 1970s. His chum, Willy Weasel, regularly got knocked down by passing cars but clever Tufty always remembered to look both ways.Now comes Savvy Squirrel, who, with backing from the chancellor and a multi-year lump of advertising spend from the financial services industry, will try “to drive a step-change in how investing is understood, discussed and adopted”, as the blurb puts it. In translation: don’t squirrel everything away in a boring cash Isa but try taking an investment risk or two if you value your long-term financial health. Continue reading...
