This week in the news, devastating wildfires continue to ravage California, Florida election results still hang in the balance and the U.K. takes a step forward in inking a Brexit deal.

From selling record levels of new drugs to splitting rival gangs, the Sinaloa cartel is growing while its iconic founder goes to court.

When heavy floods struck Mexico’s Sinaloa state earlier this year, damaging communities and local infrastructure, help was quick to arrive. But not from the government. Residents of the small town of El Ranchito de los Angulo, not far from the Pacific Coast, were pictured by the local media receiving new mattresses, stoves and blankets packed up with caps and stickers bearing the initials JGL.

Townsfolk were filmed sending blessings to their benefactor, Joaquin Guzmán Loera, aka “El Chapo,” arguably the world’s most famous drug lord. This is the birthplace of the Sinaloa cartel he once controlled. For decades, poor countryfolk have seen him and his associates as providers who buy their product and give them work compared to a government that has, in their eyes, consistently failed them. But that isn’t the only part of Guzman’s legacy that looks set to outlive him. As he faces the early stages of his trial in a maximum-security prison in New York on drug trafficking and homicide charges, business is booming for the Sinaloa cartel.

David Sinclair aims to create a drug that will slow and eventually reverse the aging process. Then there’s another battle.

As a kid, David Sinclair was shocked to discover that all living things grow old and die. Skirting around desert shrubs and acacia trees in the parched Australian bush of Sydney, he would chase after kookaburras, rainbow lorikeets, currawongs and the occasional wallaby, often wondering how these curious creatures stay alive — and why they eventually perish.

That was the jumping-off point for Sinclair’s career. Today, he’s a professor of genetics at Harvard and founder of the Sinclair Lab, where he and his team study the processes that cause age-related diseases. Sinclair aims to develop a drug that will interrupt these processes and, ultimately, find the Holy Grail: a way to reverse aging. If, that is, he can get government approval — and at the moment that’s looking doubtful.
