DEEP Robotics makes four-legged robots starting at $2,800. They’re now equipping one model with a CPR machine, oxygen, and a heart monitor to help respond to emergencies faster. (self.futurology)

Here's a video of the robots moving over new terrain they’ve never seen before. Here’s more info on the medical-equipped models.

It looks like these robots could cover 500 meters in just a few minutes. At their current price, it might be worth placing them all over cities. If they had a 911 audio link, the closest person nearby could use the CPR machine on heart attack victims until paramedics arrive.

As the US moves to ban mRNA vaccine and cancer research, other countries want the US-based scientists to move and continue their research with them. (www.theguardian.com)

mRNA vaccines stopped Covid and will protect against H5N1 bird flu if it becomes a pandemic. Scientists say H5N1 is now here to stay, and even if it doesn’t cause a pandemic, another virus will.

mRNA cancer treatments—a breakthrough approach—use mRNA to teach the immune system to fight cancer. Trials are testing both custom and pre-made vaccines.

But in the U.S., this research risks losing funding or even being banned. The good news? Other countries want to keep it going. EU and Swedish science leaders like Maria Leptin and Sten Linnarsson are already offering scientists jobs abroad.
