EPA Proposes Eliminating Public Comment on Air Pollution Permits for Data Centers

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has put forward a proposal that would significantly reduce public participation in the air pollution permitting process. Under the plan, state authorities would no longer be required to notify the public or gather community feedback before issuing air pollution permits. The change would apply to data centers as well as other similar large-scale projects. Critics are likely to raise concerns that the move limits transparency and community oversight over facilities that can have significant environmental impact.

Lab suppliers caught using manipulated images to sell research antibodies

Life science supply companies have been widely using manipulated images in their marketing materials for research antibodies, a practice that would result in retraction if found in academic papers. The issue involves alterations to experimental result images used to promote and sell these laboratory reagents. The scale of the problem appears significant, with such manipulations described as widespread across multiple suppliers. This raises serious concerns about the reliability of product claims that researchers depend on when selecting materials for scientific experiments. The findings highlight a double standard between the strict image integrity rules applied to published research and the largely unregulated marketing practices of commercial suppliers.

Polestar says US blindsided it with sales ban under connected-vehicle rules

Electric vehicle maker Polestar has been barred from selling new cars in the United States starting with the 2027 model year, following a rejection by the Commerce Department citing national security concerns over connected-vehicle software linked to China. In an August 18th letter to dealers, Polestar said it was given no clear explanation for the denial after months of engagement with the Trump administration. The company expressed confusion over the decision, noting that its sister company Volvo received approval to continue US sales in May 2026 despite having similar corporate ownership ties. The ban stems from a federal rule prohibiting vehicles that use connected software originating from China. Polestar said it does not yet have a clear path forward regarding its US market presence.

AI Reshaping Radiology Jobs but Not Replacing Radiologists, Experts Say

Early predictions that artificial intelligence would fully replace radiologists have not come to pass. Instead, AI is proving to be a tool that significantly transforms how radiologists work rather than eliminating their roles. The technology is changing workflows, assisting with image analysis, and altering day-to-day responsibilities within the field. Experts now broadly agree that human radiologists remain essential, even as AI becomes more deeply integrated into medical imaging.
