The Trump administration’s cuts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the head of the Department of Health and Human Services, have gutted vital health programs in recent months.

Launched in May, Cal AI has generated over 5 million downloads in eight months, Yadegari says. Better still, he tells TechCrunch that the customer retention rate is over 30% and that the app generated over $2 million in revenue

An emergency situation that turned out to be mostly a false alarm led a lot of schools in Los Angeles to install air filters, and something strange happened: Test scores went up. By a lot. And the gains were sustained in the subsequent year rather than fading away.
