US to cut billions in medical research funding

Oh no. NIH is reportedly capping the "overhead" paid on research grants to 15% of direct costs, which would represent a 60-80% reduction for most grant recipients. I'd expect NSF and other funding agencies may likely follow suit.
Why is this bad? Overhead on grants is what funds most of the infrastructure - office space, administrative staff, utilities, etc - at research universities. Without it, they simply can't operate.
National Institutes of Health radically cuts support to universities
Sudden and drastic change will make it hard for researchers to keep the lights on.John Timmer (Ars Technica)
If you work at an r1 in the US, it's likely that at least some of them will bankrupt in the next year. New guidance issued instantly capping indirects at 15%.
Those that don't go bankrupt are going to be purged of a substantial amount of staff and faculty.

I like it, but I'd split them into 3 different optional animations to be chosen.
Option 1: segment from 0-10 seconds + ending
Option 2: segment from 10-17 seconds + ending
Option 3: segment from 17 -28 seconds + ending
All three options could have the same cool ending, from the segment 28-33 seconds.

UK demands access to Apple users' encrypted data
The UK government has demanded to be able to access encrypted data stored by Apple users worldwide in its cloud service. Currently only the Apple account holder can access data stored in this way - the tech giant itself cannot view it. The demand has been served by the Home Office under the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA), which compels firms to provide information to law enforcement agencies.
