Why Experts Are Worried About Bird Flu in Cows
Bird flu has been hitting a little too close to home lately. In its testing of the commercial milk supply, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported on April 25 that 20% of milk samples tested from the retail market contained “viral fragments” of H5N1 bird flu. Many believe that’s an underestimate; experts at Ohio State University have found that as much as 40% of milk samples from processing facilities in the Midwest may contain parts of the virus.
[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]
The results immediately raised concerns about the safety of the U.S.’ milk supply and the ri...

Can Neosporin Protect You From Getting COVID-19?
For years, researchers have been working on vaccines that aim to prevent viral infections by strengthening immune defenses at viruses’ doorway to the body: the nose.
A small study recently published in PNAS presents a similar, if lower-tech, idea. Coating the inside of the nose with the over-the-counter antibiotic ointment Neosporin seems to trigger an immune response that may help the body repel respiratory viruses like those that cause COVID-19 and the flu, the study suggests.

The research raises the idea that Neosporin could serve as an “extra layer” ...

Bird Flu Virus Is in One in Five U.S. Milk Samples
Fragments of the bird flu virus have been found in about one fifth of commercial milk samples tested in a U.S. nationally representative study, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
While the presence of traces of the virus in milk doesn’t necessarily indicate a risk to consumers, more tests are needed to confirm if intact pathogen is present and remains infectious, the FDA said in a statement on its website. That would determine “whether there is any risk of illness associated with consuming the product,” it added.

AI transcription tools ‘hallucinate,’ too
By now, the tendency for chatbots powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to occasionally make stuff up, or “hallucinate,” has been well documented. Chatbots have generated
medical misinformation

fake legal cases

citations
. Now,
a new study
has found that AI models are not only seeing things, but hearing things: OpenAI’s Whisper, an AI model trained to transcribe audio input, made up sentences in about 1.4% of the transcriptions of audio recordings tested. Disconcertingly, a large portion of the fabricated sentences contained offensive or potentiall...

Governor Newsom Wants to Let Arizona Doctors Provide Abortions in California
(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) — Arizona doctors could give their patients abortions in California under a proposal announced Wednesday by Gov. Gavin Newsom to circumvent a ban on nearly all abortions in that state.
It would apply only to doctors licensed in good standing in Arizona and their patients, and last only through the end of November. Arizona’s 1864 law banning nearly all abortions except if the mother’s life is in jeopardy takes effect June 8. Newsom said protecting access to abortions is “just about basic decency” and “respect for women and girls.”
