We created a new tool that uses prescription label information to identify where your drug was made.

It also lets you see if and when that factory was inspected for quality and safety violations.

Try it out 👇
Where Was My Generic Prescription Drug Made? - Rx Inspector - ProPublica
The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information on your prescription label to locate the factory and see inspection reports.

Large language models subtly highlight certain viewpoints while minimizing others, often without users realizing it. buff.ly/bEvfU8c
People are getting their news from AI – and it’s altering their views
Even when information is factually accurate, how it’s presented can introduce subtle biases. As large language models increasingly bring people the news, this bias is a looming problem.

NEW: Behind Italy’s beauty (and parmesan) is a radical tradition of cooperatives.

In some areas, they make up nearly a fifth of the GDP.

We went to Emilia-Romagna, one of the richest regions in the country, to investigate how Italy’s workers built a more democratic economy.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
