I've spent the past two months speaking with Ohio University professors about how federal spending freezes and shifting governmental policy are affecting their work. A huge shoutout to my peers at the @athensindy.bsky.social for helping get this story done!

Cats that became infected with bird flu might have spread the virus to humans in the same household and vice versa, according to data that briefly appeared online in a report from the CDC but then abruptly vanished.
CDC Posts, Then Deletes, Data on Bird Flu Transmission Between Cats and People
The data, which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. Scientists called on the agency to release the full report.

Provorov gets this place really rocking with a goal off a pass from Werenski, it's 2-2 with :05 left in the Utah PP. That's 20 straight home games with at least a point for Werenski.

That was a huge shorty during a PP when the crowd here booed the entire time Utah had the puck.

Fantilli hauled down. No call from referee Gord Dwyer, looking right at it. No surprise either, given his performance in Dallas last Sunday.

Danforth's first goal since Nov. 18, fourth of the season. Missed 18 games in there, as well. #CBJ

Just published my latest story for @athensindy.bsky.social! It looks at how the city of Athens got its Christmas tree, the underutilization of the Shade Tree Commission and where city will get its Christmas trees from in the future. Click the link below to read it:
Uptown Christmas tree highlights lack of communication with Shade Tree Commission – Athens County Independent
The commission was not consulted before the city cut down the blue spruce by the pool — which members say has become a habit of the administration.
