MIT student claims he synthesized one of the deadliest chemicals known to man — sparking massive hazmat response
A student at MIT claimed he synthesized one of the world’s deadliest chemicals last week — sparking a massive hazmat response and the closure of the lab where he worked.
The unidentified grad student arrived at a local emergency room, saying he had synthesized dimethyl mercury, a highly toxic compound that can be fatal if exposed to humans in even the smallest amounts, NBC Boston reported.
The student was not authorized to be working with the compound and it was not part of his research, according to school officials.

Harvard and MIT scholars head to Canada, as Carney offers millions
48 researchers were poached from the US, where policy changes have left scientists feeling unsupported.
Canada has awarded 64 global scholars with C$504 million (US$362 million) in funding to relocate their work to Canadian universities and advance projects in areas such as health and artificial intelligence.
Some 48 of the researchers were poached from the US, including from elite institutions such as Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The other 16 researchers are coming from 12 other countries, including the UK, Germany, China and Japan.
Canada just spent half a billion dollars poaching 64 academics, three-quarters of them from the U.S., and then CTV put the most revealing quote on TV

WARMINGTON: As trade spat rages, alleged U.S. consulate shooter freed on bail
If U.S. President Donald J. Trump was upset about Premier Doug Ford telling him to “kiss” his behind, there’s no telling how he may react to an Ontario judge saying the man charged in shooting up the American consulate in downtown Toronto does not have to sit in jail and is free to wait at home until his trial.
Canada’s justice system needs no incentive from Trump to make an ass of itself.
FBI no longer treating applicants’ experience with sex workers as automatic bar against hiring
The FBI is dropping a categorical hiring ban on applicants who have had sexual encounters with sex workers and will instead consider in a more holistic manner at least some candidates who have engaged in the practice in the past, according to people familiar with the matter.
The move away from an automatic disqualification falls along a continuum of evolving recruitment standards within federal law enforcement and at the buttoned-up bureau, which several years ago relaxed its approach to candidates’ past marijuana use and has drawn more recent concern among some current and former agents about a perceived loosening of recruitment requirements as it seeks to replenish its ranks.
