AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoBiohybrid Rescue Tech: Singapore and Japan researchers have 3D-printed tiny “diving suits” for cyborg Madagascar hissing cockroaches, letting the insects breathe and move underwater (and in low-oxygen conditions) for up to three hours—aimed at search-and-rescue in flooded disaster zones and hard-to-reach infrastructure. Earth & Climate Signals: New global data shows tropical primary rainforest loss fell 36% in 2025, but climate-driven fires are still a major threat as extreme conditions loom. Space Science: The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has started its 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time, beginning a “cosmic movie” by repeatedly imaging the southern sky to track changes across the universe. Biodiversity Spotlight: The elephant bird—Madagascar’s giant, flightless ratite that vanished a few hundred years ago—remains a key mystery for scientists studying extinction causes. Tech & Society (Madagascar angle): A week of coverage also highlights how Madagascar’s cockroach research is being pushed toward real-world missions, while local readers get a quick science-and-nature mix alongside broader tech updates.
