Photo courtesy of Alliance of Health Workers MANILA, Philippines — Health workers from the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) staged a protest on Tuesday urging the current administration to increase medical employees' salaries and opposing the government's plan to abolish their hospital in the guise of forming the Philippine Center for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC). Members of the RITM Employees Association-Alliance of Health Workers' (AHW) protest was in response to the National Capital Region wage board's approval of a wage hike amounting to P40, which according to the group, is far from its request for a P33,000 salary increase to both public and private health workers nationwide.

Researchers have used CRISPR gene editing, stem cells and human neurons to understand the role of a gene that is commonly mutated in autism. This new study, published today in The American Journal of Human Genetics , ties mutations in the gene CHD8 with a broad spectrum of molecular and cellular defects in human neurons. Autism is a highly heritable disorder that is on the rise with approximately 1 in 40 children in the U.S. receiving an autism diagnosis. Over the past decade, sequencing studies have found many genes associated with autism, but it has been challenging to understand how mutations in certain genes drive complex changes in brain activity and function.

MANILA, Philippines—With the 2023 Binibining Pilipinas pageant approaching the homestretch, beauty queen-turned-news anchor and host Emma Tiglao, who is an alumna of the annual search, shared a piece of advice to this year's aspirants: 'Put God in the center of it.' The 2019 Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental titleholder said she believes she was able to receive all the advice she could get when she was competing, and reminded the ladies that aside from training for the question-and-answer round and for their runway walk, the most important tip is centering on one's faith.

The United States condemns the Hong Kong Police Force's issuance of an international bounty for information leading to the arrest of eight pro-democracy activists who no longer live in Hong Kong. The extraterritorial application of the Beijing-imposed National Security Law is a dangerous precedent that threatens the human rights and fundamental freedoms of people all over the world. We call on the Hong Kong government to immediately withdraw this bounty, respect other countries' sovereignty, and stop the international assertion of the National Security Law imposed by Beijing.

American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) In 2022, the eruption of the submerged Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha apai volcano triggered a fast-moving and destructive underwater debris flow that severed telecommunication cables and reshaped the surrounding seafloor. The findings – representing some of the first fieldwork to document what happens when large volumes of erupted volcanic material are delivered directly into the ocean – provide new insights into the behavior and hazards of submerged volcanoes.
