Dear Reader,

Why is there so much more matter than antimatter in the universe? This
question is one of the defining mysteries of physics. New findings could
point toward a possible answer. In other news, gene-editing technology
CRISPR is making a bid to help fill in holes in coronavirus testing
regimens. And our top story today examines some of the drugs being
developed to attack COVID-19 and the virus that causes it.
