Gmail’s Smart Compose feature is now available on all Android devices
There’s no question that Smart Reply and Smart Compose are very handy Gmail features, at least on PC, where they can help you be more productive when it comes to email chores. On smartphones, however, things were different until earlier this week, and that’s because Smart Compose launched as a Pixel 3 exclusive back in October. But now, all Android devices can take advantage of Smart Compose.

Cancer-targeting compound could be a breakthrough in treating brain tumors
A new compound discovered by scientists at Scripps Research may prove to be a powerful weapon in the fight against one of the most aggressive and deadly types of cancer. Just like the cancer it fights, the compound is incredibly strong, selectively targeting the cells that allow glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) to rapidly take over the brain.
The research, which was published in a new paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, explains how the stem-like cancer cells of GBM promote growth of the tumor while also aiding it in recurrence even after a patient has had surgery. Stopping these cells from doing their deadly deed is crucial to successful treatment, and the new compound — which the scientists have nicknamed RIPGBM — does just that.

Mark Zuckerberg reportedly has an escape hatch in his office in case of emergency
It’s a strange world we live in when tech CEOs need stringent security protection, but that’s sadly the state of affairs these days. Notably, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg needs particularly rigorous protection, a dynamic which arguably isn’t all that surprising given the tremendous amount of influence Facebook wields in the political arena and how visible Zuckerberg has become as a public figure.
Highlighting the extent of Zuckerberg’s security detail — which in itself is a reflection of the seriousness of the threats he faces — Facebook last year revealed that it spent $7.3 million protecting Zuckerberg in 2017. Not surprisingly, much of that protection centers on personal security guards stationed at his house and while traveling.

War-torn Mozambique is giving scientists a unique opportunity to study an ecosystem in peril
Widespread carnivore extinction is a concern in many parts of the world. Many big game predators are prized by hunters and poachers alike, often leading to illegal hunts and dramatically reduced populations. Scientists and researchers leading conservation efforts know that pushing a dominate species to extinction will devastate the food chain, but they’d rather not actually see it in action.
However, in the Southeast African nation of Mozambique, researchers had little choice but to watch populations of leopards and pack-hunting dogs get completely wiped out due to ongoing human conflicts. The war-torn Gorongosa National Park became a shadow of its former self and, while this was indeed a tragedy, it gave researchers the chance to see what happens when carnivores are stripped from an ecosystem.

How Amazon beat out Netflix and HBO to land ‘The Lord of the Rings’ prequel
In a media landscape where binge-worthy content is king, a popular TV series not only has the potential to put a streaming service on the map, it can also take an already-popular streaming service to the next level. The first example of this dynamic was arguably the success Netflix enjoyed with House of Cards a few years back. More recently, Hulu’s brand increased dramatically thanks to The Handmaid’s Tale, the company’s award-winning drama starring Elisabeth Moss.
That said, the battle for original content these days is incredibly fierce, with any number of media and tech giants more than willing to throw around boatloads of cash in the hopes of landing the next big thing. And while it’s never easy to predict which show will become a mainstream juggernaut, there’s a good chance that Amazon’s Lord of the Rings prequel will do just that.
