FDA warns about fake Ozempic, how to spot it
SUMMARY: The FDA has issued a warning about counterfeit Ozempic being found in the U.S. drug supply. Both the FDA and Ozempic’s manufacturer, Novo Nordisk, are urging patients and pharmacies to verify the legitimacy of their prescriptions. Counterfeit vials pose potential health risks, with several hundred units distributed outside the official supply chain. The fakes can be identified by a specific combination of a real lot number (P0362) and an illegitimate serial number starting with “51746517.” The FDA and FBI have both warned about counterfeit weight loss drugs, urging individuals to validate their Ozempic supplies.

How school bus drivers and police use AI to stop vehicle violations
SUMMARY: As the school year begins, Bus Patrol uses AI-powered cameras on over 40,000 school buses across 22 states to catch drivers illegally passing stopped buses, endangering children. In Pennsylvania’s Lower Merion School District, all 135 buses are equipped with these cameras, which activate when the stop arm extends. Drivers frequently ignore the stop sign, with violations occurring multiple times daily. Recorded violations are reviewed by police, leading to fines up to $300 for first offenses. Since installation, nearby districts have issued thousands of tickets. The system enhances enforcement, aiming to protect children by encouraging drivers to stop safely at school buses.

In NC, Black communities meet mental health needs of youth in barbershops and churches
SUMMARY: Reggie Winston, a Raleigh barber trained in mental health first aid and suicide prevention, uses his barber chair as a safe space for Black youth to discuss mental health. Having battled undiagnosed depression himself, Winston founded Grooming Resources and Opportunities, training barbers to recognize signs of distress and suicide risk. North Carolina has launched a Black Youth Suicide Prevention Action Plan focusing on community-led support in trusted spaces like barbershops and churches. With rising suicide rates among Black youth, especially LGBTQ individuals, efforts include training barbers and faith leaders, improving cultural competence in crisis lines, and youth-led awareness campaigns to build trust and save lives.

Biologists are using drones to scare wolves away from cattle
SUMMARY: Biologists and the Agriculture Department are using drones equipped with thermal cameras to protect cattle from wolves. The drones detect wolves near livestock and scare them away by playing sounds through loudspeakers, including fireworks, gunshots, rock songs, and most effectively, human voices like yelling or movie clips. Gray wolves, once nearly extinct, have rebounded in the U.S., posing challenges for ranchers as wolves target easier prey like cattle. Ranchers appreciate the drone technology, but worry wolves may eventually ignore the deterrents. So far, the drones have successfully reduced cattle deaths in Oregon and California.
A team of biologists working near the California-Oregon border is using drones to blast AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck,” movie clips and live human voices to shoo wolves away from cattle in an ongoing experiment.
