Reality is prompting people in cities and rural areas alike to prepare for a summer of sooty skies along the West Coast and in the Rocky Mountains, the regions widely expected to suffer most from blazes tied to dryer, warmer conditions.

After President Joe Biden passed the new debt ceiling deal, experts believe that the deal would result in a significant loss of SNAP benefits for almost 750,000 citizens in the country. “There was a lot at stake for the country but the provisions that were included with regard to SNAP really did not have to be added to the debt ceiling,” says Ellen Vollinger, SNAP director for the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC). “The amount of money that gets taken away from people on SNAP as a result of this debt deal has enormous consequences for them on an individual level.”

Mayo Clinic adopted a new Google Cloud tool, Enterprise Search on Generative AI App Builder: To build a chatbot that lets medical professionals quickly locate patient info. In health care, the technology should allow workers to interpret data such as a patient’s medical history, imaging records, genomics or labs more quickly and with a simple query. While generative AI has become the hottest topic in tech, health care presents an important challenge because there’s little room for inaccurate results.
