SUMMARY: This 4th of July weekend, a record-breaking 72 million Americans are expected to travel, with over 61 million taking road trips, creating heavy traffic. To avoid delays, AAA advises leaving early, ideally before 11 a.m., but only after thorough vehicle checks like tire pressure, battery, and having an emergency kit with essentials and a charged phone. Meanwhile, air travel will see over 5.8 million passengers amid packed airports and fewer flight routes, leading to crowded planes. Travelers should allow extra time at airports to avoid rushed sprints. Preparation is key for smooth, safe holiday travel both on roads and in the skies.

We’re only a few days from Fourth of July celebrations.

SUMMARY: A nationwide healthcare fraud crackdown has led to charges against over 320 people, including some in North Carolina’s Triangle area. The fraud involves schemes like paying patients for treatments, receiving kickbacks from labs, and providing unnecessary medical equipment or therapy bills to Medicare and Medicaid. Acting U.S. Attorney Daniel Bubar highlighted cases such as a substance abuse clinic accumulating $25 million through kickbacks and equipment providers charging $39 million for unneeded items like knee braces. Immigrant communities were targeted for fraudulent services. Nationwide, defendants billed over $14.6 billion in false claims, prompting intensified enforcement in the Eastern District of North Carolina.

Some Triangle-area cases include issues of paying patients to receive treatment and getting kickbacks from a lab, sending medical equipment to people who didn’t need it and targeting immigrant communities to receive services that they didn’t need or never received.

SUMMARY: The San Diego Zoo’s Frozen Zoo, celebrating 50 years, preserves skin, egg, and sperm cells from over 1,300 species to prevent extinction. Founded by Dr. Kurt Benirschke before cloning technology existed, it stores cells frozen indefinitely without feeding. The Frozen Zoo has helped revive critically endangered animals like the California condor and black-footed ferret. Scientists emphasize the urgency as many species face rapid decline. Their current mission is to train global facilities to replicate this effort, preserving biodiversity and genetic diversity to support vulnerable populations worldwide and enhance conservation efforts.

“Jurassic Park” raises that sticky ethical question about whether scientists should essentially play God by reviving extinct species. But one team at the San Diego Zoo is doing what they can to prevent species from going extinct in the first place.
