Kairan Quazi, the teen prodigy, who, at 14, became the youngest staff member of Elon Musk's space tech firm SpaceX? Soon after, the youngster’s LinkedIn profile was deleted, as the platform requires users to be at least 16 years of age to avail its services. Now, he's back on LinkedIn. “Now that I’m 16, LinkedIn has let me back on the platform," revealed Quazi on Instagram. The post went viral, with many social media users welcoming him back enthusiastically. “Welcome back! We missed you." Another commented, “Back where he belongs." Since 2023, Quazi has been employed as a software developer at SpaceX, where he actively contributes to the Starlink initiative. His primary focus lies in designing data-driven solutions for complex optimization challenges, particularly in beam planning. This highly specialized role demands expertise in low-latency computing, high-efficiency processing, and real-time system development.

Indian cricket, Varun Chakravarthy had a brush with the silver screen. In 2014, he played a cameo in the Tamil movie ‘Jeeva,’ a sports drama that unknowingly mirrored his own life’s journey. The film depicted a cricketer’s struggle against odds, much like Varun’s real-life battle to carve a niche for himself in professional cricket. Not stopping at movies, he also made an appearance in the popular cooking reality show "Cooku with Comali". However, his true calling lay elsewhere—in cricket, where he would rise to fame as India’s mystery spinner, leaving batsmen baffled with his unorthodox variations. Varun Chakravarthy has been a key architect of India's ICC Champions Trophy win. He has been the second highest wicket-taker in the tournament. In the finals against New Zealand, he put the Kiwis on the backfoot with two crucial wickets. 33-year-old Varun Chakravarthy made his T20I debut in July 2021 and became the second-oldest player after Farokh Engineer to debut in ODIs in February 2025. He plays for Tamil Nadu in domestic cricket and is a key spinner for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

A research collaboration among experts from the University of Reading, University College London, and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine examined cancer prevalence across 263 different species spanning mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. Their results challenge Peto’s paradox—a hypothesis first introduced in 1977, which proposed that an organism’s size had no significant influence on its likelihood of developing cancer. Published on February 24 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the study demonstrated a clear pattern: larger species generally show greater rates of tumour occurrence. However, species that evolved to grow rapidly to substantial sizes, such as elephants, simultaneously developed powerful biological mechanisms to counteract cancer.

A former congresswoman and Oregon mayor, she has a complex political history, once backing pro-labour policies but later aligning with Republican priorities.

retaliatory tariffs against US farm produce from corn to chicken are designed to hurt Donald Trump's voter base, but remain restrained enough to allow room for the adversaries to hash out a trade deal, analysts say. Since taking office in January, Trump has unleashed a storm of tariffs against friends and foes alike, this week hiking blanket duties on Chinese products, adding to a plethora of existing levies. Beijing swiftly responded with countermeasures targeting imports of American farm products — many of which are produced in the rural heartlands that voted resoundingly for Trump in the November election.
