"Golden Retriever genes linked to anxiety, aggression, and intelligence in humans | ScienceDaily" https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/03/260306224229.htm
Scientists studying 1,300 golden retrievers have uncovered genetic clues explaining why some dogs are more anxious, energetic, or aggressive than others. Remarkably, several of the same genes linked to canine behavior are also tied to human traits like anxiety, depression, and intelligence. The discovery suggests dogs and humans share biological roots for emotions and behavior. Understanding these links could help owners better interpret their pets’ reactions and even improve training and veterinary care.

"Melania Trump to preside over a UN Security Council meeting | AP News" https://apnews.com/article/melania-trump-united-nations-security-council-a73e49e3062a991c634292cee89220ed
U.S. first lady Melania Trump will preside over a U.N. Security Council meeting in what the United Nations said Thursday would be a first. The first lady’s office said the meeting she will preside over on Monday will “emphasize education’s role in advancing tolerance and world peace.” The United States takes over the rotating presidency of the 15-member council for the month of March. Melania Trump has made the issue of children in conflict one of her signature issues. It comes as President Trump has criticized the United Nations, withdrawn the U.S. from some U.N. agencies and still owes billions of dollars to the world body.
