December 2, 2024 This article has been reviewed according to Science X's editorial process and policies . Editors have highlightedthe following attributes while ensuring the content's credibility: fact-checked peer-reviewed publication trusted source proofread by American Chemical Society A group of young students became bonafide biomedical scientists before they even started high school. Through a partnership with a nearby university, the middle schoolers collected and analyzed environmental samples to find new antibiotic candidates. One unique sample, goose poop collected at a local park, had a bacterium that showed antibiotic activity and contained a novel compound that slowed the growth of human melanoma and ovarian cancer cells in lab tests. Inequities in educational resources, especially those in science, engineering, technology and math (STEM), where experiments are expensive, have kept some students underrepresented in these fields. By engaging a group of these students early in real, high-quality research, a team from the University of Illinois at Chicago led by Brian Murphy is providing young learners a chance to see themselves as scientists and explore careers in science with hands-on experience. The team partnered with a Boys and Girls Club in Chicago to bring interested middle schoolers into a 14-week applied science program. Murphy's lab is focused on discovering antibiotics from natural sources, and the cohort of young scientists participated by supplying environmental samples from their local communities. And the students' contributions to the research group didn't end there. They stayed actively involved throughout the scientific discovery process by programming a specialized robot to scoop up bacterial colonies from growth plates and test them for antibiotic activity. One of the 14 samples collected—goose poop from the Garfield Park Lagoon—contained a strain of bacteria called Pseudomonas idahonensis. The students interpreted the bacterium's bioassay data and concluded it had antibiotic activity and produced a never-before-seen compound. Then, the university researchers determined the compound's molecular structure using nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry , named it orfamide N after the family of molecules it belongs to, and investigated its biological activity. Although orfamide N was not responsible for the antibiotic activity that the team initially observed from P. idahonensis, the compound inhibited the growth of human melanoma and ovarian cancer cells in culture tests. Further studies could reveal other advantageous properties of this newly characterized molecule. The researchers say that this work proves that it's possible to combine educational outreach with natural product discovery research, and it emphasizes the importance of a strong relationship between universities and their local communities. The study is published in the journal ACS Omega .

WISeKey’s Subsidiary SEALCOIN 2025 Roadmap: Leading Machine-to-Machine Transactions Through Blockchain and Space Innovation
The Prime Minister insisted the UK will back Ukraine “for as long as it takes” as he made a speech at the Lord Mayor’s Banquet in London, but for the first time acknowledged the conflict could move towards a negotiated end. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has in recent weeks suggested he is open to a possible ceasefire with Vladimir Putin’s Russia. Kyiv and its European allies meanwhile fear the advent of Donald Trump’s return to the White House could result in American aid being halted. President-elect Trump has said he would prefer to move towards a peace deal, and has claimed he could end the conflict on “day one” of his time in power. As he attempts to strike up a good relationship with the incoming president, Sir Keir revealed he had told Mr Trump the UK “will invest more deeply than ever in this transatlantic bond with our American friends in the years to come”. In his speech at London’s Guildhall, the Prime Minister said there is “no question it is right we support Ukraine”, as the UK’s aid to Kyiv is “deeply in our self-interest”. Allowing Russia to win the war would mean “other autocrats would believe they can follow Putin’s example,” he warned. Sir Keir added: “So we must continue to back Ukraine and do what it takes to support their self-defence for as long as it takes. “To put Ukraine in the strongest possible position for negotiations so they can secure a just and lasting peace on their terms that guarantees their security, independence, and right to choose their own future.” Mr Zelensky told Sky News over the weekend he would be open to speaking with Mr Putin, but branded the Russian president a “terrorist”. He also suggested Ukrainian territory under his control should be taken under the “Nato umbrella” to try to stop the “hot stage” of the war with Russia. In a banquet speech focused on foreign affairs, the Prime Minister said it was “plain wrong” to suggest the UK must choose between its allies, adding: “I reject it utterly. “(Clement) Attlee did not choose between allies. (Winston) Churchill did not choose. “The national interest demands that we work with both.” Sir Keir said the UK and the US were “intertwined” when it came to commerce, technology and security. The Prime Minister added: “That’s why, when President Trump graciously hosted me for dinner in Trump Tower, I told him that we will invest more deeply than ever in this transatlantic bond with our American friends in the years to come.” He also repeated his commitment to “rebuild our ties with Europe” and insisted he was right to try to build closer links with China. “It is remarkable that until I met President Xi last month there had been no face-to-face meeting between British and Chinese leaders for six years,” the Prime Minister said. “We can’t simply look the other way. We need to engage. To co-operate, to compete and to challenge on growth, on security concerns, on climate as well as addressing our differences in a full and frank way on issues like Hong Kong, human rights, and sanctions on our parliamentarians,” he added. The Prime Minister said he wants Britain’s role in the world to be that of “a constant and responsible actor in turbulent times”. He added: “To be the soundest ally and to be determined, always, in everything we do. “Every exchange we have with other nations, every agreement we enter into to deliver for the British people and show, beyond doubt, that Britain is back.” Ahead of Sir Keir’s speech, Lord Mayor Alastair King urged the Prime Minister and his Government to loosen regulations on the City of London to help it maintain its competitive edge. In an echo of Sir Keir’s commitment to drive the UK’s economic growth, the Lord Mayor said: “The idealist will dream of growth, but the pragmatist understands that our most effective machinery to drive growth is here in the City, in the hands of some of the brightest and most committed people that you will find anywhere in the world.”

U.S. imposes new controls on chip exports to ChinaThe NBA world saw a blockbuster move take place on Sunday morning as the Los Angeles Lakers acquired veteran wing defender Dorian Finney-Smith and guard Shake Milton from the Brooklyn Nets. Finney-Smith was one of the hottest names on the trade market ahead of the deadline next spring and with him off the board, opposing teams will need to pivot. Read more: Lakers Land Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton in Blockbuster Deal With Nets Not many expected a deal of this magnitude to happen at this time but the Lakers wanted to improve their chances the rest of the way. This signals that they are real players and still have the potential to make more moves. But what else can we expect before the Feb. 6 trade deadline? Here is a prediction of the next few trades to happen in the NBA . Nets continue rebuild, trade forward Cameron Johnson After moving on from Finney-Smith, the Nets will now turn their sights to moving Johnson. There was talk about Brooklyn trading away guard Cam Thomas but he reportedly is loved by the ownership. It's likely that the Nets will hold onto him and he can help get the rebuild started. More news: Nets Bring Back D'Angelo Russell in Blockbuster Trade With Lakers Brooklyn has stock-pilled draft picks in recent years and could get even more from a Johnson deal. Teams such as the Memphis Grizzlies, Denver Nuggets, Milwaukee Bucks, and others could all get involved in the potential to land the forward. Kings add to their roster, don't trade away De'Aaron Fox The Sacramento Kings have been in the news recently for firing head coach Mike Brown . There have also been rumors surrounding star guard De'Aaron Fox with all the drama going on. Read more: Lakers, Rockets Headline Potential Landing Spots For Star Guard Amid Trade Rumors However, the Kings love Fox and he loves being with Sacramento. The Kings will likely look to add more to their current team, rather than tearing things down. Someone like Kyle Kuzma from the Washington Wizards could make sense here. Nuggets make splash, land All-Star for playoff push The Nuggets have been looking around the league for more firepower to add to their current team. This includes them poking around trade talks for some All-Star-level players. More news: Blockbuster Trade Proposal Has Nuggets Land $215M All-Star Denver wants to get back to being a true title contender and adding more talent is the way to go. The Nuggets will add another star, possibly such as Zach LaVine or Jimmy Butler, to give them a better chance come playoff time. Bulls finally move Nikola Vucevic to contender The Chicago Bulls have been trying to enter into a rebuild for a few years now. However, after they moved guard Alex Caruso this past offseason, the path became clearer. One of the biggest trade pieces they have is center Nikola Vucevic and he could easily help a contender. Teams such as the Memphis Grizzlies, Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, or Indiana Pacers could make sense here. Trail Blazers move multiple veterans in separate deals The Trail Blazers are one of the more interesting teams ahead of the trade deadline. They have a few veteran pieces that could be moved such as Jerami Grant, Robert Williams III, Anfernee Simons, and even Deandre Ayton. The time is now for Portland to move one of, if not all these players. Teams like the Lakers, Mavericks, Rockets, Magic, and others could all be involved here.

Ange Postecoglou believes Tottenham's 1-1 draw at Rangers will prove to be a "really important point" in the context of their Europa League campaign. Spurs were indebted to a 75th-minute leveller from substitute Dejan Kulusevski and, while they remain outside of the top eight places in the league phase of the competition, Postecoglou's injury-hit group are ninth ahead of games against Hoffenheim and Elfsborg in January. "I thought we worked our way back into the game and scored a good goal. Big save by Frase (Fraser Forster) at the end and in terms of our European season, a really important point," Postecoglou told TNT Sports. "It's fair to say we're in a bit of a struggle. Being down on numbers, the players understand that a lot of them, we're asking for a lot of repeated efforts and it takes its toll, but we hung in there tonight, which was important. "The next round of European games are not for a while, which will help us for sure. I think when we look back, it will be an important point for us." Spurs turn their attention to Sunday's trip to Southampton, which is followed by a Carabao Cup quarter-final at home to Manchester United before Premier League leaders Liverpool visit on December 22 to round off a packed 10-day period. Postecoglou added: "It's a big week for us this week. Southampton on Sunday is a massive game away and then we have Carabao Cup quarter-final at home against Man United and then Liverpool. "It is a great week for us to build into. Thankful tonight everyone got through unscathed and we'll focus on Sunday now."
A Jeju Air plane flying from Bangkok to South Korea with 181 people on board crashed on landing Sunday, killing 179 with just two people plucked alive from the wreckage. Here's what we know so far. A Boeing 737-800 aircraft belonging to low-cost carrier Jeju Air, flying from Bangkok to Muan airport, was warned of a bird strike by the control tower, officials said, during its first attempt at landing shortly after 9:00 am (0000 GMT). Minutes later, with the pilot issuing a "mayday" warning, it tried to land again, with video showing it attempting a "belly landing" without its landing gear activated. Dramatic video shows the plane skidding along the runway with smoke trailing out, until it hits a wall at the end and bursts into flames. All 175 passengers and four of the six crew members onboard were killed. Rescue workers plucked two survivors -- both flight attendants -- from the wreckage. Investigations have been launched, but officials suspect the accident could have been caused by bird strike and adverse weather conditions. When asked if the accident happened due to the runway being too short, one official said this was likely not a factor. "The runway is 2,800 metres long, and similar-sized aircraft have been operating on it without issues," they said. A bird strike is a collision between a bird and an aircraft in flight. A bird strike can be hazardous to aircraft safety and jets are especially vulnerable to loss of power if birds are sucked into the air intakes, according to the UN agency International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). A number of fatal accidents have occurred globally due to bird strikes. In 2009, a US Airways Airbus A320 famously ditched in New York's Hudson River after a bird strike on both of its engines, in an incident widely known as the "Miracle on the Hudson" because there was no loss of life. The plane was flying from Bangkok, Thailand to South Korea's Muan county, about 288 kilometres (180 miles) southwest of the capital Seoul. Hundreds of firefighters and other emergency responders -- including military -- were deployed to the area, with the country's acting president designating the site a special disaster zone. Families were waiting at the first floor of the Muan airport, with many relatives crying in despair. The accident occurred with South Korea in the throes of a political crisis, with its third president in a month. Acting President Choi Sang-mok, on his third day in office, convened an emergency meeting with cabinet members and visited the crash scene. South Korea's aviation industry has a solid safety record and the crash was the first fatal accident for Jeju Air. A Jeju Air-operated Bombardier Q400 carrying 74 passengers veered off the runway due to strong winds at another southern airport, Busan-Gimhae on August 12, 2007. A dozen people were injured. Before Sunday's crash, the deadliest such incident on South Korean soil dated to April 15, 2002. An Air China Boeing 767 plane travelling from Beijing hit a hill near Busan-Gimhae airport, resulting in 129 deaths. The most recent fatal crash of a South Korean airline happened at San Francisco airport on July 6, 2013. Asiana Airlines' Boeing 777 aircraft missed its landing, leaving three dead and 182 hurt. The deadliest disaster to hit a South Korean airline goes back more than four decades -- when a Soviet fighter jet shot down a Boeing 747 above the Sea of Japan. Twenty-three crew and 246 passengers aboard the Korean Air flight were killed in the September 1, 1983 disaster, as they were travelling from New York to Seoul via Alaska.

BREAKING NEWS Can Trump end birthright citizenship? The 14th amendment upheld in the US constitution since 1868 Trump wants to end birthright citizenship to crack down on the migrant crisis By KATELYN CARALLE, SENIOR U.S. POLITICAL REPORTER IN WASHINGTON, D.C. Published: 06:55 AEDT, 9 December 2024 | Updated: 07:07 AEDT, 9 December 2024 e-mail 14 View comments Donald Trump wants to get rid of 14th Amendment birthright protections as a way to crack down on the migrant crisis in the U.S. The president-elect said there might need to be a constitutional shake-up to 'get it changed' and get rid of the amendment that says those born in the United States are U.S. citizens. 'Can you get around the 14th Amendment with an executive action?' NBC host Kristen Welker asked Trump in an interview that aired Sunday. 'Well, we're going to have to get it changed,' he said. 'We'll maybe have to go back to the people. But we have to end it.' 'We're the only country that has it, you know,' Trump added. In his first interview since reelection, Trump said he wanted to end birthright citizenship in his first term but was waylaid when the coronavirus pandemic hit in March 2020, essentially interrupting all actions in his final year in office. Trump wants to get rid of this provision in the Constitution to specifically target illegal immigrants who have children while released in the U.S. without documentation or citizenship. The way this could happen is by Trump proclaiming the new policy and then ordering agencies to cease issuing citizenship confirming documents – such as Social Security cards and passports – to children born in the U.S. to undocumented parents. Donald Trump reiterated that he wants to get rid of the 14 Amendment birthright protections as a way to crack down on illegal immigration and prevent noncitizens from having children with de facto U.S. citizenship The legal legitimacy of Trump's proposal is likely to end up before the Supreme Court, which has a nine to three conservative majority and a whopping three Justices that were nominated by the past and future president. 'All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside,' the 14th Amendment states.

Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee made note of the omission. 'Those words matter,' he said of the omitted 'and subject to the jurisdiction thereof' part of the 14th Amendment's text. This phrase from the Constitution means that all those born in the U.S. are considered citizens of the country, but excludes those who are not under legal authority of the nation at the time time of birth. Specifically, this is interpreted to mean children of foreign diplomats who are stationed in the U.S. at the time of their childrens' birth and those whose parents owe allegiance to another nation when they are born. Trump, and immigration hawks, say that this also applies to those born to illegal immigrants who were living in the country without documentation at the time of giving birth. The idea is to crackdown on the migrant crisis and reduce the number of those who come to the U.S. in an effort to get their children birthrighr citizenship Trump sat down with NBC News host Kristen Welker in an interview that aired Sunday where she questioned if Trump thinks he can take executive action to bypass the 14th Amendment of the U.s. Constitution 'You know we're the only country that has it,' Trump told Welker in the interview that aired Sunday on Meet the Press. 'Do you know if somebody sets a foot, just a foot, one foot, you don't need two, on our land, 'Congratulations you are now a citizen of the United States of America.' 'Yes, we're going to end that because it's ridiculous,' he insisted. Trump vowed he would address the migrant crisis immediately after taking office, and says he will carry out the largest deportation effort in U.S. history. The president-elect's transition team has already been in talks with third-party countries to strike a deal on accepting deported immigrants whose home countries will not accept them back after they left and illegally came into the U.S. Donald Trump Politics Share or comment on this article: Can Trump end birthright citizenship? The 14th amendment upheld in the US constitution since 1868 e-mail Add commentThe San Francisco 49ers activated linebacker Dre Greenlaw to play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams for his first action since tearing his left Achilles tendon in last season's Super Bowl. Greenlaw had been practicing the past few weeks and was activated from the physically unable to perform list on Thursday. San Francisco placed offensive lineman Ben Bartch on injured reserve with an ankle injury to make room on the roster. Greenlaw was one of the emotional leaders of San Francisco's defense before the freak injury in the first half of the Super Bowl loss to Kansas City. Greenlaw bounced up and down on the sideline and then started to run onto the field with a few teammates when he collapsed holding his left leg. He was then helped off in a cart. Greenlaw was drafted in the fifth round in 2019 and emerged as one of the key defenders for San Francisco in 2022. He started 30 games the past two seasons with 247 tackles, eight tackles for loss, 10 passes defensed and three takeaways. The Niners have missed his intensity and physical play this season, especially against the run. The Rams and 49ers both promoted players from the practice squad for the game with Los Angeles adding defensive back Charles Woods and San Francisco promoting running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn.
