Bird flu could be the next big health risk. Where's the vaccine?

NOW THAT THE WORLD HAS ADJUSTED TO LIVING WITH COVID-19, a new infectious disease threat is looming—this time from wild birds. Highly pathogenic avian influenza, or H5N1 bird flu, is spreading among dairy cattle that provide our milk and starting to cause serious disease in people. An elderly man with underlying health conditions became the first to develop severe disease in the U.S. and died in early January, and a 13-year-old girl with asthma in Canada became so sick with H5N1 in late 2024 that she had to be put on a ventilator.

The colleges and companies shaping America's leaders

BUSINESS IS EVOLVING FASTER THAN EVER BEFORE, and companies are rethinking the path to the C-suite. Whereas in the past aspiring leaders might earn their stripes by rotating through another part of the business for a year or two, today more top firms are “constantly providing people with new opportunities,” says Stephan Meier, a professor of business strategy at Columbia Business School. To supercharge the pace of skill-building, workers now have to change jobs more frequently. The ability to not only rapidly learn new terrain but also guide teams in overcoming new challenges is becoming an indispensable leadership skill, Meier says.

The subtle art of dying

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING HIS CAREER from the start, the idea of Pedro Almodóvar's growing older—and using his films to reflect on illness and death—is a bitter pill. None of us relishes thinking about our own mortality. But sometimes it feels worse to think about losing an artist we love. One of his finest, most moving works, 2019's Pain and Glory, reckoned with the nuisances of aging and the trauma of being an artist in crisis. But his first English-language movie, The Room Next Door, delves further into these murky waters. Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton star as Ingrid and Martha, old friends who have been out of touch for a long time. They reconnect when Ingrid learns that Martha is being treated for cancer, and their rekindled friendship veers into complicated territory.

The person behind the pain

IT'S A STRANGE SENSATION, TO END up loving a movie that makes you feel physically uncomfortable for nearly its whole runtime. In Hard Truths, from veteran filmmaker Mike Leigh, Mari-anne Jean-Baptiste plays a woman at war with the world, and herself. She practically vibrates with belligerence: she can't go to the grocery store without having a run-in with the cashier; her husband mostly avoids her; her grown son spends his time locked in his room—his only relief is to leave the house for long walks to escape his mother's angry force field. Why would you care about this woman's story? For much of the film you may be yearning to get away from her. I was.
