  • South Africa's first black female nuclear scientist, Senamile Masango, a trailblazer who set out to inspire young women, has died aged 37, the government has confirmed. Ms Masango, dubbed "the queen of science" by some in South Africa, passed away on Sunday. The cause of her death is unknown.

The article from the BBC discusses the ongoing debate over the use of puberty blockers for transgender youth in the UK. It highlights the recent decision by NHS England to halt the routine prescription of puberty blockers to children and young people, following a review that found insufficient evidence on their safety and effectiveness. This decision has sparked a range of reactions; some see it as a protective measure, while others, including transgender advocates and some medical professionals, view it as a setback for transgender healthcare. The article also touches on the broader implications of this policy change, including the potential impact on mental health, the need for more research, and the political and social debates surrounding transgender issues. It notes that while the blockers are still available through clinical research, the move has intensified discussions about the rights of transgender youth to access gender-affirming care.
