Guardian: Biologist whose innovation saved the life of British teenager wins $3m Breakthrough prize
Other winners on the night were Dennis Gaitsgory, a mathematician in Bonn, for his work on the Langlands program, an ambitious effort to unify disparate concepts in maths, and more than 13,000 researchers at Cern for testing the modern theory of particle physics.
Liu was chosen for inventing two exceptionally precise gene editing tools, namely base editing and prime editing. Base editing was first used in a patient at Great Ormond Street in London, where it saved the life of a British teenager with leukaemia.
PBS: Alex Ovechkin scores his 895th NHL career goal, breaking Wayne Gretzky’s record
Ovechkin scored his 895th career goal on Sunday in the Washington Capitals’ game against the New York Islanders, beating fellow Russian Ilya Sorokin on a power play with 12:34 left in the second period. He took a perfect pass from longtime teammate Tom Wilson and fired an absolute laser past Sorokin with defenseman Jakob Chychrun screening.
Ovechkin had never scored on Sorokin before, making his countryman the 183rd different goaltender he has beaten. He dived onto the ice to celebrate as so many Capitals fans in attendance chanted “Ovi! Ovi!” from the stands.
xda-developers.com: I’ve tried a lot of different backup software, and I keep coming back to this free, open-source tool

Duplicati is a free open-source backup tool for regular users as well as businesses.

I love how flexible it is. I have one job backing up family photos to Google Drive, another syncing work documents to a local NAS, and a third encrypted and pushed to my external hard disk for off-site redundancy — all within the same interface.
