University of Missouri unveils billion-dollar reactor project
SUMMARY: The University of Missouri has announced a billion-dollar project to build a new nuclear research reactor, NextGen MR, aimed at advancing cancer treatment. The new reactor will be twice the size and more powerful than the current Myrrh reactor, which has treated half a million cancer patients last year with life-saving medical radioisotopes. The project, expected to take up to 10 years to complete, will provide a steady stream of isotopes for treatments and boost the state’s economy. With about $200 million in funding, the university seeks additional state, federal, and private support for the project.
The University of Missouri announced a deal to build a new nuclear research reactor. The billion-dollar project will help advance the school’s critical role in the fight against cancer.

A crowd saw a man get shot. Decades later, nobody claims to know who did it
SUMMARY: A true crime podcast, *Morbid*, revisits the unsolved 1981 killing of Ken McElroy in Skidmore, Missouri. Known as “the town bully,” McElroy was accused of numerous crimes but avoided conviction through intimidation. On July 10, 1981, he was shot in broad daylight in front of around 50 people, yet no one came forward. The community, fed up with his reign of terror, allegedly took justice into their own hands. Despite FBI involvement, the case closed without indictments. Over 40 years later, with many witnesses deceased, the murder remains unsolved, and locals continue to keep the secret.

Joe’s Blog: 90s coming with some nasty storms (6/16)
SUMMARY: Kansas City has yet to hit 90°F this year, though summer’s heat and humidity are building. A very moist atmosphere will fuel possible storms Tuesday into Wednesday, with flooding downpours the main concern. Models show varying rainfall totals and locations, with uncertainty about where storms will hit hardest. Severe storms are more likely late Tuesday night into early Wednesday, but flooding poses the greatest risk due to moisture-rich conditions and possible training storms. There’s also a chance for strong “wake low” winds Tuesday. The first 90° day could arrive later this week or weekend as the pattern shifts.
