TfL’s new bus shelters, Apple & Google app store shake-up, and gene-edited moths, plus Helldivers 2 update

TfL starts trialling new bus shelter designs across the city — brighter, safer, and hopefully less bleak in the rain. Then the UK competition regulator gets Apple and Google to commit to fairer app store rules, before we head to Exeter where scientists are gene-editing wax moths to speed up infection research and tackle antimicrobial resistance. After the break: an ancient fossil find that rewrites early plant-eaters on land, a fresh Helldivers 2 update, and a quick word for iPhone owners if iOS is acting up. More at standard.co.uk.

All change: Liverpool Street Station’s controversial makeover

Liverpool Street Station has had a major redevelopment plan green-lit by the City Corporation this week. The scheme would be mostly funded by office space situated in a new 320ft tall tower block, much to the dismay of Victorian heritage enthusiasts. Was this the right call? In this episode of The Standard, host Tamara Kormornick sits down with the Standard’s City Hall and Transport Editor, Ross Lydall, to unpick why the merits and downfalls of the application, and why the plans have caused such uproar.

Dr Jim Fadiman: The 'Father of Microdosing' on Psychedelics’ Second Act

For this episode of Brave New World, Evgeny is joined by psychologist, author, and researcher Dr Jim Fadiman, a central figure in the modern understanding of psychedelics, who also goes by the “father of microdosing”. Drawing on decades of research and thousands of user reports, the conversation traces the history of psychedelics - from early scientific study in the 1950s and 60s, through prohibition, to today’s renewed interest in clinical and psychiatric settings. Jim discusses why most formal research has focused on high doses, how observational reports have shaped microdosing research, where evidence is strongest and still emerging. Evgeny and Jim look ahead to the future of psychedelics in medicine, the balance between scientific caution and public interest, and what a first step might look like for someone curious but sceptical. This episode was produced by Message Heard and The Standard. Producer: Florence de Schlichting Production Coordinator: James Cox Production Manager: Kirsty McLean Video Editor: Nani Wenani The Standard team: Joe Bromley Will Rogers-Coltman Hosted on Acast.

PlayStation’s hour-long State of Play, UK universities warned on foreign interference, and the botnet lurking in your living room

Today on Tech and Science Daily from The Standard: the UK sets out new measures aimed at protecting universities from foreign interference, as concerns grow about pressure on researchers and sensitive collaboration.
