I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time.

Woah, this is huge news: most ovarian cancer begins in the fallopian tubes, which can be removed (if patient desires) during other abdominal surgeries. Ovarian cancer has vague symptoms and often isn’t diagnosed until late stage with low survival rates. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/h...

There’s a Way to Prevent Ovarian Cancer. Few Know About It.

The vast majority of cases begin in the fallopian tubes — and removing them can reduce the risk by nearly 80 percent.

Friends! Do you know a lot of PhD-holding nerds?? I'm surveying people who came from abroad to complete a PhD in the US, after the Trump admin announced student visas will only cover 4 years and folks must then seek uncertain renewal from USCIS. Please share! www.porchpartynews.com/p/trump-rule...

Were you an international student who got an American PhD? Take our survey!

A new Trump rule forces foreign doctoral candidates to apply mid-degree for an uncertain visa extension. What will that mean for academia and society—and people’s lives?
