a new life-sciences flex lands in King’s Cross as Genomics opens up shop in the Knowledge Quarter and shows off agentic AI for drug discovery. The government claims it’s finally speeding up cyber fixes across public services — about time — and O2 starts selling a satellite bolt-on powered by Starlink for those “why do I pay for this contract?” dead zones.

After the break, Uber tries to become the backstage crew for robotaxis everywhere, scientists reveal a new way to see DNA’s 3D structure, Fallout 4 goes portable on Switch 2, and Firefox does something radical: it gives you an AI off switch.

Today, the MHRA puts the brakes on the UK’s PATHWAYS puberty blocker trial work while safety concerns get addressed, the UK’s space-weather mission heads toward its launch site (because satellites don’t protect themselves), and NASA’s Artemis II rocket gets rolled back for more fixes — yes, really.
