Amazon just pulled two pseudoscience books on autism from its shelves. One of those books recommends curing autism by drinking and bathing in chlorine dioxide, a bleach harmful to humans in high concentrations.
Malaria affected 216 million people in 2016, and most of the cases and deaths occurred in sub-Saharan Africa.

The IU Bloomington Hospital has a new staff member on deck who goes by the name of Sally. She’s a robot from Chowbotics that makes, well, salads.
Earlier this month, PBS aired a new documentary about James Watson, co-discoverer of DNA and IU alumnus. In the documentary, "Decoding Watson," one of the topics discussed is Watson’s previous statements that black people are less intelligent than white people.

One would therefore expect U.S. life expectancy to follow an upward trend as well, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recently revealed that for the second time in three years, life expectancy fell to 78.6 in 2017 compared to 78.7 in 2016.
Sparked by a new interest in photography, I went to Vintage Vogue a few weeks ago to find myself a little 35mm camera, one that requires you to load a roll of film.
