Photograph of tan rock with two diagonal veins of lighter rock on either side. In the tan rock are several small, irregular spots of sand-colored rock ringed with dark bluish-greenish rock. These spots’ chemical composition was studied and found to contain minerals that, given Mars’s expected environment billions of years ago, could have been produced by microbes.

A child lies on their side on a sofa with a breathing apparatus covering their nose and mouth. Such equipment is commonly used for patients who suffer from cystic fibrosis, a once deadly disease that now has become manageable thanks to the triple combination drug Trikafta. Three researchers recently received this year’s Lasker award for their contribution to the development of this drug.
