Most clips focus on diet changes and supplements, while barely mentioning the long-term treatments doctors say are essential for controlling the disease. Many videos also frame gout as a lifestyle problem, rather than a condition driven largely by genetics and underlying health factors. Researchers ...

 Jan. 4, 2026  Researchers compared a traditional Chinese medicine, Yueju Pill, with a standard antidepressant and found both reduced depression symptoms. However, only Yueju Pill increased a brain-supporting protein associated with mood improvement. Brain imaging showed that unique network patterns—especially in visual regions—could predict who benefited most from Yueju Pill. This opens the door to more ...

 Jan. 4, 2026  UK experts are warning that access to new weight-loss drugs could depend more on wealth than medical need. Strict NHS criteria mean only a limited number of patients will receive Mounjaro, while many others must pay privately. Researchers say this risks worsening existing health inequalities, especially for groups whose conditions are often missed or under-diagnosed. They are calling for fairer, ...

 Nov. 29, 2025  Millions face Medicare decisions each year, but many don’t take advantage of tools that can save them money and stress. Insurance marketing often overshadows unbiased options like SHIP, leaving people unaware of better choices. Comparing real costs—not just premiums—can prevent unpleasant surprises, especially when provider networks or drug rules change. New assistance programs for ...

 Sep. 16, 2025  Preschoolers with ADHD are often given medication right after diagnosis, against medical guidelines that recommend starting with behavioral therapy. Limited access to therapy and physician pressures drive early prescribing, despite risks and reduced effectiveness in young ...

 Aug. 26, 2025  Australian teachers are in crisis, with 9 in 10 experiencing severe stress and nearly 70% saying their workload is unmanageable. A major UNSW Sydney study found teachers suffer depression, anxiety, and stress at rates three to four times higher than the national average, largely driven by excessive administrative tasks. These mental health struggles are pushing many to consider leaving the ...

 June 3, 2025  The effects of artificial intelligence on adolescents are nuanced and complex, according to a new report that calls on developers to prioritize features that protect young people from exploitation, manipulation and the erosion of real-world ...

 Jan. 26, 2026  Home fireplaces and wood stoves are quietly driving a large share of winter air pollution, even though only a small number of households rely on wood heat. Researchers found that wood smoke accounts for over one-fifth of Americans’ winter exposure to dangerous fine particles linked to heart disease and early death. Much of this pollution drifts into cities, where it disproportionately harms ...

 Jan. 21, 2026  A new building material developed by engineers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute could change how the world builds. Made using an enzyme that turns carbon dioxide into solid minerals, the material cures in hours and locks away carbon instead of releasing it. It’s strong, repairable, recyclable, and far cleaner than concrete. If adopted widely, it could slash emissions across the construction ...

 Jan. 19, 2026  As global energy demand surges—driven by AI-hungry data centers, advanced manufacturing, and electrified transportation—researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory have unveiled a breakthrough that could help squeeze far more power from existing electricity supplies. Their new silicon-carbide-based power module, called ULIS, packs dramatically more power into a smaller, lighter, ...

 Dec. 28, 2025  Researchers found that U.S. metal mines already contain large amounts of critical minerals that are mostly going unused. Recovering even a small fraction of these byproducts could sharply reduce dependence on imports for materials essential to clean energy and advanced technology. In many cases, the value of these recovered minerals could exceed the value of the mines’ primary products. The ...

- University of Stuttgart's data storage breakthrough using twisted ultra-thin layers

**Tech News:**
- GitHub Agentic Workflows now in technical preview
- Skills.sh platform for enhancing AI agents with reusable skills

Now I need to cross-check these against my memory to filter out duplicates and avoid over-reported stories like the Munich Conference and NASA Crew-12. I should also gather some market and crypto updates to round out the briefing.

Now let me extract the specific existing URLs from memory to avoid duplicates:

Nose for trouble: Italian town seeks ‘odour evaluators’ to sniff out bad smells

An Italian town is seeking a crew of sniffers to identify bad smells in its quest to improve air quality.
Bruno Beltrame, the mayor of Brendola, a small town in the northern province of Vicenza, said he began the recruitment campaign for six “odour evaluators” after complaints about “unpleasant smells” from people living in neighbourhoods close to industrial zones.
The main prerequisite for the role is not to suffer from allergies or respiratory diseases such as asthma. The recruits must have a car and a smartphone, which will be used to record the odour data on a dedicated app.
Led by a firm specialising in odour measurement, they will be trained in how to distinguish between smells, for example those typically emitted from factories or which originate from industrial waste or sewage.
They will then be given the task of going to targeted areas to carry out sensory assessments. If an unsavoury smell is detected, they will spend time sniffing the air before recording their perceptions on the app.
The ultimate goal of the initiative, which is expected to last six months, is to trace the origin of the odours.
“We did a similar investigation about five years ago in an industrial area close to where the bad smells are coming from now,” said Beltrame. “From that, we were able to identify the companies emitting the odours. Now we are broadening the geographical scope to find out if the same companies have resumed the release of bad smells or if there are different ones.”
Vicenza falls within [the Po valley](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/21/italy-po-valley-blighted-air-pollution-worst-europe), a huge geographical area straddling the provinces around the Veneto region as well as Piedmont, Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna. The Po Valley is among the worst areas in [Europe](https://www.theguardian.com/world/europe-news) for air pollution.
“We’re at the end of the valley just before the Alpine foothills,” said Beltrame. “So it’s a huge undertaking because these areas are among the most productive, but they’re also the ones at risk of creating pollution.”
He said several province-wide initiatives work continuously to improve air and water quality. “We have a lot of protocols in place, and if businesses break the rules they are heavily fined.”
Brendola is home to about 4,000 people who over the years have become more committed to protecting their environment. Beltrame said: “Whereas previously they might have been a bit careless, today they are more inclined to want to improve their quality of life and surrounding environment. So when they see abandoned waste or smell foul air, they report it. We’re happy because it allows us to promptly intervene in order to prevent potentially worse catastrophes.”
The local authority initially advertised for the jobs, which are paid, before Christmas but there were no takers, “perhaps because it was published so close to the holidays, many might have turned their noses up,” said Beltrame.
But since reposting the advert on Facebook this week, about a dozen people applied. “They were mostly university students who have a few hours to spare around their studies, and they seem very keen.”

 Gisèle Pelicot, the French woman who became a global symbol of courage when she [publicly stepped forward](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gisele-pelicot-rape-trial-france-dominique-pelicot-new-details/) to testify against her ex-husband and dozens of other men in a mass rape trial, told "CBS Sunday Morning" that she believes her story "could be useful to others."
That's why she's opening up about her story in a memoir, "A Hymn to Life: Shame Has to Change Sides." She said she's speaking directly to those who might ask, "How could this woman go through what she went through and still be standing?"

 Gisele Pelicot.

 CBS News

 In her first U.S. broadcast interview, airing on "CBS Sunday Morning" February 15, Pelicot told correspondent Seth Doane that she "used to be a very discreet woman."
Pelicot waived her right to anonymity and insisted court proceedings be made public during the 4-month trial against her ex-husband, Dominique Pelicot, and 51 other men accused of raping her over the course of nearly a decade at his invitation. All the men were [found guilty](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gisele-pelicot-france-husband-dozens-of-men-found-guilty-rape-trial/), and Dominique was sentenced to the maximum of 20 years.
In the memoir, Pelicot recounts the shock and horror of discovering that, for years, her then- husband had been drugging her and recruiting other men to assault her in their home.
"I never imagined that I was living with a man who was drugging his wife in his own home. It was impossible," she told Doane.
Pelicot had suffered unexplained health problems, and looking back, she says there were other signs something was wrong, recalling several unsettling incidents when her drinks tasted strange — at times even undrinkable — "as if mint had been put in my glass." She also recalls her husband preparing their potatoes separately. But she never imagined her husband was lacing them.

"How can you imagine that your husband is drugging you? It's unthinkable — impossible.  In fact, I was manipulated for about ten years. Because he was looking me in the eyes every day while knowing he was poisoning me. But I never saw that. I saw a kind, caring man," she said.
Watch more of Seth Doane's interview with Gisèle Pelicot this weekend on ["CBS Sunday Morning."](https://www.cbsnews.com/sunday-morning/) Pelicot's memoir, ["A Hymn to Life,"](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/812605/a-hymn-to-life-by-gisele-pelicot-translated-by-natasha-lehrer-and-ruth-diver/)will be published next week by Penguin Press.

I now have enough content to compile the briefing. Let me create a diverse briefing with 10-12 items across all categories, making sure to:

1. Exclude already-reported URLs
2. Exclude over-reported topics (Munich Conference, NASA Crew-12, DHS shutdown, Anthropic $30B)
3. Ensure diversity - max 2 items per topic
4. Include source links

Here's my curated list:

**TECH (2 items):**
1. Skills.sh - Enhance AI agents with reusable skills - https://dynamicbusiness.com/ai-tools/skills-sh-enhance-ai-agents-with-reusable-skills.html
2. DeepCode: Open Agentic Coding for Paper2Code, Text2Web & Text2Backend - need to find URL or use GitHub trending

**AI (2 items):**
1. Gisèle Pelicot speaks out in first U.S. TV interview (CBS Sunday Morning preview) - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gisele-pelicot-speaks-out-about-ex-husbands-unthinkable-crimes-preview/
2. AI video generator Seedance 2.0 spooks Hollywood - https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/feb/13/new-ai-video-generator-seedance-tom-cruise-brad-pitt (already reported, skip)

Let me look for another AI item.

**GLOBAL (3 items):**
1. Italian town seeks 'odour evaluators' to sniff out bad smells (Brendola) - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/14/italian-town-brendola-odour-evaluators-sniff-out-bad-smells
2. 53 dead/missing after migrant boat capsizes in Mediterranean - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/14/53-people-dead-missing-migrant-boat-capsizes-mediterranean (need to find)

3. Canada school shooting - Mark Carney at vigil - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/14/mark-carney-canada-school-shooting-victims-tumbler-ridge (need to confirm)

**MARKETS (2 items):**
Need to find these

**SCIENCE (2 items):**
1. Star collapsed into black hole without supernova - https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260214075052.htm (not working)
2. Distant planetary system flips formation rules - ScienceDaily

I'm short on items for a few categories. The ScienceDaily URLs aren't resolving properly, so I'll need to source the science stories directly from their main page content. For markets and AI coverage, I should search for additional stories to round out the briefing.

Looking at what I've gathered, I have several solid pieces: the Skills.sh AI agent platform, the Pelicot interview, the Brendola odor evaluators story, the Mediterranean migrant boat tragedy, and the Bangladesh election news. The Italy train sabotage and Germany-France nuclear talks from Reuters are also already in my notes. I still need to identify 1-2 more tech stories, 1-2 additional global stories, and 2 market stories to reach the target of 10-12 items total.

I have enough content now. Let me compile the diverse briefing and send it:
