FBI’s deep surveillance at Standing Rock revealed in court: In a legal tussle that sheds light on the government’s eye on environmental protests, new details: FBI sent several informants to Standing Rock protests, court documents show. Until now, only one other federal informant was known to be in the camps. The new details about federal law enforcement surveillance of an Indigenous environmental movement were released as part of a legal fight between North Dakota and the federal government over who should pay for policing the pipeline fight.

With just a sample of fluid surrounding a baby in the womb, researchers can make mini organs to test out potential medical treatments: Organ-like groups of cells can be grown from amniotic fluid samples and offer hope for studying congenital conditions. Cells taken from the fluid around growing fetuses have been used to make organoids, 3D bundles of cells that mimic tissue.
