Veraxa Biotech Names Raju Willener CFO Amid Funding Challenges — Sep 4, 2026VERAXA Biotech appointed Raju Willener as chief financial officer, signaling governance stability and a strengthened capital strategy for a pre-revenue oncology company that relies on a SPAC de-SPAC and a $77.5 million funding package to support its BiTAC platform while its first candidate targets IND/CTA readiness in 2028. Willener's three-plus decades of global capital markets and corporate-finance leadership will guide the company’s funding, M&A and financial operations as it advances its pipeline and investor relations.

Nicole Hardy for IND readiness is a long runway. Hope that $77.5M actually lasts that far with no revenue coming in.

RSPCA Recommends Meaty Pet Food for Hedgehogs — 2dExperts say you can attract hedgehogs to your garden this autumn by leaving out a small amount of tinned meaty cat or dog food (and crushed biscuits), while avoiding milk and bread; place it in shallow bowls and refresh daily.

Scientists Warn Strong El Niño Could Harm Galápagos Wildlife — Sep 9, 2026Forecasts of a stronger-than-normal El Niño indicate the Galápagos could face significant ecological stress as sea temperatures rise about 2.2°C above average, threatening both marine food chains and terrestrial forests. The impact endangers iconic wildlife such as penguins, boobies, petrels, albatrosses, sea lions, and key habitat like Scalesia forests, with invasive plants compounding the risk and prompting a coordinated mitigation effort including invasive-plant removal and seed preservation.

Forest Service to close 23 stations while moving headquarters to Utah — Sep 3, 2026The U.S. Forest Service is closing 23 research stations across more than a dozen states as part of an organizational overhaul led by President Trump to trim costs and focus resources in Western states; 41 additional facilities face closure but will remain open after local pushback, and 95 employees will be reassigned. The plan also relocates the agency’s headquarters to Salt Lake City and aims to save about $16 million, though conservation groups warn it could reduce forest access and harm habitats amid ongoing staff reductions.

Chris Dalton $16 million saved but how many years of research data and local expertise just walks out the door with those 95 reassignments?
