30-year-old found his lucrative photography side hustle after trying 2 other careers
From a wide lens, Sean Audet's career looks random: He was a biochemistry student, trained fine-dining chef and local college lecturer before picking up photography. Audet's background as a chef landed him a recipe research and development job at Red River College in Winnipeg, Canada, in 2016.

Get to know CEO 'trying to push the edge of innovation'
Learn more about a CEO on the frontlines of the battle against Alzheimer's in this week's Journal Profile — a regular feature that aims to get well beyond an influencer's online bio or LinkedIn page. Remi Barbier is well acquainted with "radical" ideas in biochemistry. And when he's not on the clock, he likes to unwind in the water or on the road.

Lab crunch: British science has nowhere to go
For Ros Deegan, the thrill of raising $100 million to expand a biotech firm among the dreaming spires of Oxford was soon tempered: unable to find a bigger laboratory, she routinely had to work at home.

Researchers Are Working on At-Home Tests for Lyme Disease
If there has been one silver lining to the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s been the rise of rapid self-tests, which provide results at home in minutes. Researchers are hard at work at developing similar tests for other diseases—including Lyme.
Lyme disease is transmitted by the black-legged (or deer) tick and infects about 476,000 Americans each year. The faster those people can get treated with the antibiotics doxycycline or amoxicillin, the better their chances of having a short, mild case of the disease.

Amino acid in energy drinks makes mice live longer and healthier
Researchers first sifted the amino acid taurine from a sample of ox bile in 1827. Today, it’s better known as one of the main ingredients in many energy drinks. But it may do more than drive sales of these beverages. A study published today in
Science
suggests
boosting taurine levels increases life span in mice and improves the physical condition of middle-aged monkeys
, hinting it could do the same for people.
“This might be something that could be used to fight aging-related diseases or increase life span in humans,” says molecular physiologist Dudley Lamming of the University of Wisconsin...

Can ‘toxic’ bilirubin treat a variety of illnesses?
Generations of medical and biology students have been instilled with a dim view of bilirubin. Spawned when the body trashes old red blood cells, the molecule is harmful refuse and a sign of illness. High blood levels cause jaundice, which turns the eyes and skin yellow and can signal liver trouble. Newborns can’t process the compound, and although high levels normally subside, a persistent surplus can cause brain damage.
Yet later this year up to 40 healthy Australian volunteers may begin receiving infusions of the supposedly good-for-nothing molecule. They will be participating in a phase 1 safety trial, sponsored...

Crops grown without sunlight could help feed astronauts bound for Mars
Riverside, California—
For the first astronauts to visit Mars, what to eat on their 3-year mission will be one of the most critical questions. It’s not just a matter of taste. According to one recent estimate, a crew of six would require an estimated 10,000 kilograms of food for the trip. NASA—which plans to send people to Mars within 2 decades—could stuff a spacecraft with prepackaged meals and launch additional supplies to the Red Planet in advance for the voyage home. But even that wouldn’t completely solve the problem.
Micronutrients, including many vitamins, break down over months and will need to...
