On the morning of 11 September 2001, Klaus Schwab sat having breakfast in the Park East Synagogue in New York City with Rabbi Arthur Schneier, former Vice President for the World Jewish Congress and closely associate of the Bronfman and Lauder families. Together, the two men watched one of the most impactful events of the next twenty years unfold as planes struck the World Trade Center buildings. Now, two decades on, Klaus Schwab again sits in a front row seat of yet a generation-defining moment in modern human history.

The community of bacteria that live in the gut, known as the gut microbiota, play a pivotal role in illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, depression, and inflammatory bowel disease.
The aim of probiotic and prebiotic supplements is to restore a healthy balance to the microbiome, but their effects are difficult to study.
Researchers have developed a probe that can measure the activity level of an enzyme produced by bacteria that is key to their health-promoting effects.
