Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered a new mechanism by which mutations in a gene parkin contribute to familial forms of Parkinson's disease. The discovery opens a new avenue for Parkinson's therapeutics, scientists report in a new study. The Northwestern scientists discovered that mutations in parkin result in a breakdown of contacts between two key workers in the cell -- lysosomes and mitochondria. Mitochondria are the main producers of energy in cells, and lysosomes recycle cellular debris that accumulates during normal function of our cells.

The NSW Reconstruction Authority was established with bipartisan support in November 2022 after Resilience NSW was dissolved. It was established in line with recommendations from the independent 2022 NSW Flood Inquiry, led by Professor Mary O'Kane and Mick Fuller. Despite the expanded responsibilities to include adaption, mitigation and preparedness for natural disasters, the former government left the NSW Reconstruction Authority as a shell - failing to fully fund and resource this vital agency.

I was concerned by your paper's editorial, 'Mindset change on waste management,' (6/18/23). While it's good that Philippine Daily Inquirer used its voice to call attention to the serious problem of increasing waste in the country, the article, unfortunately, chose to point fingers at people while largely making no mention of the primary responsibility of companies and their outsize role in producing the thousands of tons of plastic waste the entire country is dealing with right now. Yes, solid waste generation is increasing in the Philippines, but this is largely driven by the increase in the production of single-use plastics—not because of improper waste disposal.
