Break 1: PEGGY SLAPPY



STORY 1: Gwinnett Schools Trail State In College Readiness, Closing Achievement Gaps

Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) in Georgia outperformed the state in various areas of the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) but lags behind in closing achievement gaps and preparing high school students for college. In Content Mastery, Progress, and Readiness, GCPS scored higher than the state average, particularly excelling in algebra and elementary school readiness. However, the district struggled in Closing Gaps, with significant disparities across student groups. In the Readiness category, GCPS surpassed the state in some aspects but fell short in Career, Technical, or Agricultural Education (CTAE) pathway completion and overall college and career readiness. The graduation rate for GCPS is slightly lower than the state average. Notably, due to a change from the U.S. Department of Education, there are no overall CCRPI scores for schools, districts, or the state. The detailed data can be explored on the state's CCRPI data portal at ccrpi.gadoe.org.





STORY 2:Shocking discovery that electric jolts to the brain may help us learn

A new study reveals that electrical shocks to the brain can potentially halve the time needed to learn complex tasks. Doctors learning to use robotic surgery tools in virtual reality (VR) performed better when receiving brain shocks compared to those who didn't. The research from Johns Hopkins University suggests that stimulating certain brain areas could help healthcare professionals transition skills learned in VR to real operating rooms. The study involved participants performing surgical tasks and receiving electrical stimulation to the cerebellum. The findings indicate improved dexterity and performance in those receiving steady brain stimulation, offering insights into potential applications in medical training and beyond.





STORY 3:Artificial intelligence discovers antibiotic to take out superbug

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have employed artificial intelligence (AI) to identify a class of compounds capable of killing the antibiotic-resistant superbug MRSA. The AI model was used to search for compounds targeting the drug-resistant bacterium responsible for thousands of deaths globally each year. The researchers trained a deep learning model using an expanded dataset and adapted an algorithm to decipher how the model made its predictions. The AI screening identified compounds from five different classes as potential MRSA treatments. The study aims to discover new classes of antibiotics against seven types of deadly bacteria over seven years.

Break 2: MOG – TOM WAGES – INGLES 10



STORY 4:How having the rare inability to burp impacts quality of life

A study by Texas Tech University has revealed that individuals suffering from retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction (R-CPD), a rare condition that makes it impossible to burp, often feel too embarrassed to seek help, leading to a decrease in their quality of life. R-CPD is caused by a muscle in the throat failing to relax, preventing the outward passage of gas. The study found that sufferers experience abdominal bloating, socially awkward gurgling noises, excessive flatulence, and difficulty vomiting. Despite these symptoms, only half of the participants discussed them with their primary care clinician, and 90% felt they did not receive adequate help.



STORY 5:REVIEW: Mike White's touch helps make 'Migration' worthwhile journey

In the animated film "Migration," written by Mike White, the transformative power of travel is explored through a family of ducks taking their annual migration. The patriarch, Mack, voiced by Kumail Nanjiani, is initially anxious and overprotective but decides to venture south with his family. The film, swift and appealing, features well-executed flying scenes and familiar character design. White infuses cultural commentary into the story, highlighting lessons learned through travel and adventure, especially about relationships. The main antagonist, a tattooed chef, represents a predator, adding an ethical dimension. "Migration" is a family-friendly holiday movie with cultural insights, making it a worthwhile journey.

STORY 6:Childhood parental loss can lead to relationship anxiety in later life

A recent study suggests that women who lose a parent during childhood are more likely to experience "separation anxiety" and display an "anxious attachment" in relationships. The research, published in Stress and Health, involved 60 women who lost one or both parents early in life and 60 women with living parents. Those who experienced parental loss reported higher levels of anxious attachment and separation anxiety from a partner, especially in the first five years of a romantic relationship, gradually declining after a decade. The study highlights the potential long-term impact of early parental loss on adult attachment styles.



STORY 7:Judge reviewing Georgia political maps pledges to render decision on lawfulness ‘very quickly’

A federal judge, Steve Jones, is reviewing Georgia's new congressional and legislative maps after he previously ruled that the 2021 attempt did not comply with the Voting Rights Act. The judge is focusing on protecting the rights of Black voters. While the new congressional map includes a new majority Black district, it rearranges another majority-minority district, prompting debates about gerrymandering and the Voting Rights Act. The debate over the state House and Senate maps revolves around geography, and the judge is expected to render a decision on their lawfulness soon, with time constraints for local elections approaching.



We’ll have final thoughts after this.
