Humans in hibernation mode are a classic staple of space travel in science fiction movies, whether it’s HAL 9000 fatally unplugging a few of his passengers in 2001: A Space Odyssey or Chris Pratt waking up Jennifer Lawrence too soon because he’s lonely in Passengers. But NASA has grand ambitions of sending astronauts to Mars, for real, as soon as the 2030s, and putting humans in hibernation mode, for real, could be the key to achieving it

Putting people into sleep mode is a sci-fi concept that's a lot closer to becoming real than you might think.

Read the two emails and answer the questions.
Hi,

Sorry for sending this to all the staff in the company, but my list of people who are going to the Signmakers’ Conference in Dartmouth is not up-to-date, so I thought I’d mail it to everyone just to be on the safe side.

The company has agreed to pay for transport by rail which means you won’t have to drive there yourselves. We’ve booked seats on the 0630 from Stanton Heath which goes direct to Dartmouth. We should arrive there by 0845, and we can then share taxis to get to the venue, which I understand is just a 15 minute drive, so we should easily make the 0930 start.

Hotel accommodation has been booked at the Premium Inn, Dartmouth. The management have agreed that all delegates should have their own rooms. It’s likely that some of you will have singles, while others will have doubles and twins. I can’t take request for double rooms, I’m, afraid. It will be the luck of the draw. All rooms will have en suites, and should be very comfortable.

We’re planning return transport on the 2010 from Dartmouth which will get us back to Stanton Heath at 2200.

I’ll be booking transport on Friday morning (14th March), so if you have any queries or problems, make sure you contact me before then.

James Roxford

Dear James

Sorry, I didn’t get back to you in time. I was off sick last week and didn’t get your message until this morning. I hope you haven’t booked the train tickets yet. I’m planning to go to the conference by car, as I’m not returning to Stanton Heath after the conference. I’m going on to visit my family.
Is there any chance you can reserve a double room for me at the Premium Inn? I find it hard to sleep in single beds.

Thanks
Mindy Jacques

GOOD NEWS FOR GENII STUDENTS YAAAAAY!!!

Japan’s elite universities are racing to survive by switching to English instruction for both domestic and international students.

The University of Tokyo shocked many by announcing its entire graduate engineering program will be taught in English starting 2026.

Private universities like Waseda, Keio, and Sophia are following closely, expanding English-based programs to attract global students and raise rankings.

Officials say the goal is “internal internationalization”, turning Japan’s campuses into global environments without sending students abroad.

Supporters say this helps Japanese students gain skills to work in international companies and research teams.

Critics argue that most Japanese students and professors aren’t prepared to study or teach complex material in English.

Some warn that English-only education could alienate domestic students who expected to study in their native language.

Still, universities insist that adapting to English is Japan’s only path to stay relevant in the global academic and research race.

One of the most important things students can learn from the collection is not so much the ability to recognize whether the content of a text is true or not, but rather that writing is often created with an intention behind it.

In 2011, Johns Hopkins acquired the world’s largest collection of literary forgeries to study how fabricated texts have shaped history.
