'Breakthrough Gene-Editing Treatment (CRISPR) Saves Infant with Rare Disorder
Doctors have successfully used CRISPR gene-editing to treat a baby born with a rare genetic disorder, marking a major medical breakthrough. The child, KJ Muldoon, received a customized gene therapy designed to correct his unique mutation, targeting his liver cells. Early results suggest the treatment has partially reversed his condition, reducing the risk of brain damage and death.
This case highlights the potential of personalized gene-editing for rare diseases, though challenges remain—especially in making such treatments economically viable for pharmaceutical companies. Scientists are now working on ways to scale these therapies for broader use.

Veteran Air-Traffic Controller Speaks Out After Averting Midair Collision
Jonathan Stewart, a seasoned air-traffic controller, narrowly prevented a midair collision over Newark, NJ, between a business jet and a small plane on May 4. The incident highlighted staffing shortages and equipment failures within the FAA, leading Stewart to take stress-related trauma leave.
Controllers managing Newark airspace have faced radar and radio outages, causing concern about aviation safety. Stewart, frustrated with FAA leadership, criticized them for not providing enough resources. The FAA is now working on short-term fixes like backup communication systems and long-term solutions such as new radar installations and staffing increases.
Stewart, who earns over $450,000 annually due to overtime, described the job as a high-stakes challenge, comparing it to "playing 3-D chess at 250 miles an hour." He and several other controllers are pushing for better working conditions to reduce stress and improve air safety.
