When Jayanta “Jay” Bhattacharya took the helm of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on 1 April, the agency was in turmoil. NIH’s parent agency, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), had just removed numerous NIH leaders and laid off 1300 workers. It was only the latest in a series of dramatic changes the administration of President Donald Trump had made at the agency. Last week saw no letup for the former Stanford University health economist: NIH and HHS were finalizing a new policy on foreign research funding, preparing for a big announcement on plans to develop universal flu vaccines, and prepping for the release of the president’s 2026 budget proposal, which seeks to slash NIH by about 40%.

Scientists have figured out how the body of an 18th-century Austrian vicar has remained so well-preserved for nearly 300 years — and it's unlike anything they've seen before. Kept in a church crypt in a remote Austrian village, he's long been known as the "air-dried chaplain." But according to a recent CT scan he was, in fact, dried from the inside out. "We got a look into the inside of the body, and there we found that the abdominal and pelvic cavities were almost completely stuffed with some mysterious material," Andreas Nerlich, the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich pathologist who led the research, told As It Happens host Nil Kӧksal.

Now, Donald Trump has issued an executive order that will make it even harder to hold cops accountable—and flirts blatantly with martial law. Named the dystopian “Strengthening and Unleashing America’s Law Enforcement to Pursue Criminals and Protect Innocent Citizens,” this new order purports to “unleash high-impact local police forces; protect and defend law enforcement officers wrongly accused and abused by State or local officials; and surge resources to officers in need.”
