AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Measles Outbreak: Pennsylvania confirmed its first measles deaths in 35 years—two unvaccinated Lancaster County residents—while the state reports hundreds of cases across dozens of counties, underscoring how falling MMR uptake is fueling a nationwide resurgence. Public Health Policy: With school vaccine exemptions rising and federal vaccine guidance under debate, health officials are urging Pennsylvanians to get MMR as outbreaks spread. Tech & Kids: Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday sued Snapchat, alleging misleading 13+ marketing and design features that drive compulsive use, adding to his broader push against social platforms’ teen safeguards. STEM Education & Workforce: The state awarded PA Smart grants, including $140,000 to Farrell Area School District, to expand career and technical education in advanced manufacturing, construction, digital tech, and energy. Clean Energy for Schools: Shapiro’s Solar for Schools Program highlighted new solar investment for Steelton-Highspire, aiming to cut costs and help districts transition to renewables. Cancer Research: Allegheny Health Network will host an early-phase trial site through the START Center for Cancer Research, expanding access to novel therapies in Western Pennsylvania. Transportation Safety: Luzerne County officials say permitting delays are slowing the replacement of the closed Nanticoke bridge after deterioration was found. AI/Space Tech: SpaceX’s Starmind project is reported to rely on NVIDIA GPUs for its orbital AI ambitions, raising questions about feasibility and scaling.
