Hong Kong CNN —Chinese search engine giant Baidu has found itself in a public relations crisis, thanks to its own PR chief. Qu, Baidu's vice president and head of communications, has sparked backlash over her comments endorsing a tough workplace culture. China’s young workers have increasingly spoken out against the harsh workplace culture that has come to dominate many industries. Qu had asked all members of the PR team to create their personal accounts, according to the person, who requested anonymity. A former Baidu employee said Qu brought Huawei’s aggressive corporate culture with her to Baidu.

O echipă de cercetători din Beijing a dezvoltat o nouă terapie genică ce poate inversa unele dintre efectele îmbătrânirii la şoareci şi le poate extinde durata de viaţă. Astfel, reușita oamenilor de știință ar putea contribui în viitor la obținerea unui tratament similar pentru oameni, scrie Reuters, citat de Agerpres. Metoda a fost detaliată într-o lucrare științifică și implică dezactivarea unei gene numite kat7, despre care oamenii de ştiinţă au descoperit că joacă un rol esenţial în procesul de îmbătrânire celulară. „După şase-opt luni, aceşti şoareci prezintă o îmbunătăţire generală a aspectului şi a puterii de apucare şi, cel mai important, au o durată de viaţă extinsă cu aproximativ 25%”, a declarat Qu. În cele din urmă, sperăm că putem găsi o modalitate de a întârzia îmbătrânirea, chiar şi cu un procent foarte mic... în viitor”, a mai adăugat Qu.
