‘The Office’ U.K. Star Lucy Davis Reveals ‘Incurable’ Cancer Diagnosis: It’s ‘Too Late for Chemo’ and ‘I’m Not Scared of Whatever Comes Next’

Lucy Davis, best known for playing receptionist Dawn Tinsley in the original U.K. edition of “The Office,” has revealed that she has terminal cancer.

Writing on Instagram, Davis said she was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer a year and a half ago after discovering a lump on her breast. The cancer had “metastasized to my bones,” she said, specifically her spine, right hip, and ribs, and was “incurable, and too late for chemo.”

For most clinicians, the dominant interaction of the workday is no longer with a patient, but with a keyboard — and that shift arrived with enormous cost, substantial unintended consequences, and remarkably little prospective evaluation.

Twisted magnetic field around newborn star confirms decades-old jet theory

Twisted Physics: Astronomers Solve 30-Year-Old Stellar Mystery
This artist's illustration shows the twisted, funnel-shaped magnetic field (represented by white spiral lines) that ALMA detected wrapped around the gas outflow streaming from a young star embedded in the NGC 1333 IRAS 4A. New data revealed this ring-shaped structure in unprecedented detail, confirming a decades-old prediction of how magnetic fields launch and shape powerful jets from young stars.

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), of which the U.S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO) is a partner, have captured the first direct, high-resolution images of a magnetic field wrapped tightly around the outflow of gas streaming away from a forming star—evidence that solves a decades-old puzzle about how young stars sculpt the powerful jets that form them.

The news last week that producer William Orbit had died at age 69 sent people back to revisit one of the most remarkable catalogs in Nineties pop. Along with Madonna’s “Ray of Light,” Orbit’s greatest achievement in the studio might have been producing Blur’s “13,” the sprawling, experimental 1999 album on which the British rock band exploded everything they were known for at that time, incorporating new electronic and noise influences.

AI search performance KPIs every marketer should track
