Between 2020 and 2024, no cervical cancer deaths were recorded in women aged 20 to 24
- the first time that had happened over a five-year period.
Without vaccination, around 23 deaths would have been expected.
"It's incredible to think that a single jab can almost eliminate a particular type of cancer,"
said Prof Peter Sasieni, the lead researcher at Queen Mary University of London.

Cervical cancer deaths fall to zero in young women given vaccine
A new study finds that hundreds of lives have been saved since school-age girls were offered the HPV jab in 2008.

It is high time we let go of the Mersenne Twister
When the Mersenne Twister made his first appearance in 1997 it was a powerful example of how linear maps on $\mathbf F_2$ could be used to generate pseudorandom numbers. In particular, the easiness with which generators with long periods could be defined gave the Mersenne Twister a large following, in spite of the fact that such long periods are not a measure of quality, and they require a large amount of memory. Even at the time of its publication, several defects of the Mersenne Twister were …

Democrats have slammed Donald Trump’s Thursday night speech
where he repeated conspiracies and unfounded claims that both the 2020 election was stolen,
and the current state of election integrity is compromised.
Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, said the address was
a “pathetic attempt” by the president to cast doubt on the fact that he lost the 2020 election.
The Senate minority leader said that Trump is evading discussing contentious policy issues,

Ce qui est intéressant dans la décision, c'est que la justice française s'aligne sur une classification faite par la justice allemande il y a 6ans (BGH Urt. v. 18.06.2020, Az. 4 StR 482/19). Le cas allemand était encore moins claire, car la volonté n'avait pas été relevé avec la même clarté. Selon le BGH, il suffisait que l'automobiliste était indifférent au sort des autres.

Procès climatique contre TotalEnergies : la justice ordonne au groupe pétrolier de prendre en compte les émissions de CO₂ de ses clients
Depuis 2020, une coalition d’associations et la Ville de Paris demandent à la justice de contraindre la multinationale à réduire ses émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Le tribunal vient d’exiger que le géant pétrogazier intègre dans son plan de vigilance les émissions de ses clients. Une avancée significative.

Donald Trump is “inventing fraud”

pro-democracy experts have warned.
While the felon-president has used this playbook for years

– election integrity campaigners fear this time could be different.
