📰 News we're reading
• Owner of dog involved in attack drops challenge of vicious designation (morningjournalnews.com) — East Palestine police first relayed the emergency call after a Beaver Local bus driver reported rescuing a woman from a dog attack near Tomahawk Drive in Negley. The dog’s owner has now dropped her court challenge to a vicious designation, and prosecutors say the dog, Milo, is expected to be euthanized while possible criminal charges remain under review.

• Peng Gao (harvard.edu) — East Palestine’s chemical derailment is now part of cutting-edge health research, as Dr. Peng Gao’s team partnered with local groups to study post-accident chemical exposure in affected neighborhoods. His broader work at Harvard focuses on how lifetime environmental exposures influence diseases like asthma and lung cancer, potentially informing long-term health assessments for communities like East Palestine.
