Marco Rubio's transatlantic 'balancing act'
| | | | US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's "balancing act" brought relief for European leaders gathering at the summit for foreign ministers in Munich. Yet US demands for compromise to "rebuild" a new world order by reinforcing transatlantic security haven't budged. From a US perspective, Europe has to shape up. In the Netherlands, a Dutch care model is revolutionising home help. Client-centred services led by self-managing teams demonstrate how health is wealth. Well-being researchers examine what's behind this internationally adopted, winning management approach and how it succeeds in keeping elderly and vulnerable patients safe in the comfort of their home environments while also empowering frontline workers. With the Winter Olympics in full swing in Italy, our attention has naturally been leaning towards the world's athletes and their ever-inspiring sporting prowess on the slopes and beyond. New findings on sport nutrition bust the myth about carbing up to feed muscles. Research shows athletes are far better off aiming for a happy (carb) minimum to stabilise healthy blood sugar levels than piling their plates high with the usual starchy suspects, or reaching for energy gels. Reaching for the fruit basket, however is something biomaterial experts at France's University of Caen would recommend. Normandy's signature fruit is the focus of a new breakthrough: lab-grown human cartilage can be developed …using apple waste to repair joint wear and tear. The discovery leads the way for further plant-based exploration while providing a highly viable alternative to animal testing. As the Winter months roll on, we invite you to dive in to the academic food for thought we strive to bring you at The Conversation Europe, and would like to renew our thanks to our readers, and look forward to your continued support. All the best. |  | Carly Lock Editor, Paris | |  Sharda S. Nandram, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam; Puneet K.

Vance's a year earlier, but it did not mark any significant change in US foreign policy under Trump. |  Niall Oddy, The Open University Europe can manage without the US but it needs a reinvigorated conversation about its values. | |  Marc-Andre Gutscher, Université de Bretagne occidentale Existing underwater fibre optic cables could help monitor tectonic movement on the ocean floor. | | | | | -
