Holographic camera turns any window into an invisible camera. Could this tech be abused? I could see some disadvantages to being able to turn any glass plate into a camera. Yes, it could streamline some things, especially in the automotive world, but there are definite potential privacy issues.

Zosurabalpin: a new macrocyclic antibiotic. Highly specifric for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, so there is still a need for other resistance-overcoming antibiotics. Mechanism is novel: works by inhibiting a bacterial protein complex called LptB2FGC, which prevents the bacteria from synthesizing its outer membrane. FDA-approved.

Brain tissue on a chip achieves voice recognition. Now we're getting into sci-fi territory. Specialized stem cells were grown into neurons that formed a ball called an "organoid". Electrodes were hooked up, and responses were decoded using machine learning algorithms. They call it "Brainoware". And it recognized the voices of eight subjects with an accuracy of 78%. This may be the start of real artificial intelligence.

600+ nurse practitioners at OHSU want to unionize. NPs were brought on as a cost-savings over paying doctors. Now since doctors have been hesitant to unionize, I wonder if the pay of NPs will be higher than that of the research doctors, who typically don't have as much clinical obligations, and get pay off their research grants.

Yeah we already knew this. Number of people moving to Oregon plummets, U-Haul data shows. So the rest of the poor slobs who can't leave will have to pay more taxes to keep the government in business.

Now there's data. When hospitals are taken over by private equity, hospital-acquired adverse events increase.

Insight as to the cause of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. It seems that the babies have seizures. Next step is to figure out why this happens.

Even paper straws are problematic. "Forever chemical" plasticizers are the problem. Only metal straws were safe. But they're too expensive, and we'd have streets littered by metal straws, anyway.

How well are existing parking garages able to handle modern vehicles?. Look at how heavy those EVs are.
