UPDATED : 3:00 p.m. GMT with Academy of Medical Sciences statement LONDON — Scientists in the UK have been granted permission to genetically modify human embryos in a bid to gain a deeper understanding of the earliest moments of human life. Following the green light from regulators Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), experiments could begin in the next few months, according to the BBC. However, scientists will not be allowed to implant the embryos into a woman. The research — which will be undertaken at the Francis Crick Institute in London on embryos in the first seven days after fertilisation — could uncover currently unknown contributors to miscarriages. In the UK, it's estimated that a miscarriage occurs in 15-20% of pregnancies, with 85% of miscarriages occurring in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. "The reason why it is so important is because miscarriages and infertility are extremely common, but they're not very well understood," Dr Kathy Niakan … [Read more...] about UK scientists can now genetically modify human embryos

BURBANK, Calif. — "Does this look Grease enough?" I asked my friend, adjusting my leather jacket and red heels. "Totally," she reassured me. It was 1 p.m. on Saturday — technically the call time for audience members for Fox's Grease: Live dress rehearsal — but I was running a late due to outfit selection difficulties. Fox had sent invited press, as well as selected audience members, a guide on how to dress for the dress rehearsal ahead of time. The three-hour live musical telecast, directed by Thomas Kail (who also directed Broadway's smash hit Hamilton ) stars Julianne Hough as innocent transfer student Sandy and Aaron Tveit as leading T-Bird Danny. Also on board: Vanessa Hudgens as leading Pink Lady Rizzo, Keke Palmer (Scream Queens) as the sassy Pink Lady Marty Maraschino, Carlos PenaVega (Big Time Rush) as Danny’s tough-guy sidekick Kenickie, and Grammy-nominated pop artist Carly Rae Jepsen as beauty school dropout Frenchy. The show airs live on Fox on Sunday night. … [Read more...] about Live in the audience for the final ‘Grease: Live’ dress rehearsal

In a nutshell: While the world moves in the right direction when it comes to fighting Covid, an in-person E3 this year always felt like wishful thinking. Now, LA City documents appear to confirm that the physical event has been canceled. Resetera user Rösti discovered a special meeting schedule for the Board of Los Angeles Convention and Tourism Development on the city's official website. It lists E3 2021 as a "canceled live event in 2021." The document also notes that the board is working with the ESA production team on broadcast options at the LA Convention Center, as well as a license for 2022 and 2023 events. The news isn't too surprising. We heard reports earlier this month that E3 was set to be an online-only event . The ESA said it was "transforming the E3 experience for 2021," though not all game companies seem onboard with the idea of an online format. In the same month that E3 takes place, another massive conference, Mobile World Congress, will return as … [Read more...] about E3 2021’s in-person event has been canceled, according to city tourism board
