New York school district to become one of the first in the United States to introduce a humanoid robot in the classroom.
'Sally' will have a Western New York accent and will teach 11th and 12th-grade students at Salamanca High School.
Sally costs less than the average teacher's salary in New York, with a price tag of $57,000.
The robot has brown hair, and can move its arms and legs, but will not be able to walk around the classroom.
Students will be able to log in so the humanoid can recognize students and their previous interactions.
The humanoid will be helping teach coding, robotics, and AI classes.
The school district promises that robots will "never" replace human teachers.
‘Sally’ is made by Realbotix, which also produces "companion" robots.

Researchers have developed a flexible, breathable skin patch that can effectively target and destroy melanoma cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. The innovative device uses laser-induced graphene embedded with copper(II) oxide nanoparticles within a soft silicone (PDMS) matrix. The patch remains inactive until gently heated to about 108°F (42°C) with a low-power laser, at which point it releases copper ions directly into the tumor.
In preclinical mouse studies, the “heat-and-release” patch reduced melanoma lesions by 97% within just 10 days after two one-hour treatments. Beyond shrinking the primary tumor, the patch triggered multiple forms of programmed cell death (including apoptosis, cuproptosis, and ferroptosis), reduced cancer cell migration, and stimulated an immune response that helped prevent metastasis. Importantly, it showed no significant damage to surrounding healthy skin and avoided harmful copper accumulation in major organs.
The patch is stretchable, transparent, reusable, and easy to apply, making it a potentially convenient and less invasive alternative to traditional surgical excision for skin cancer.
While the results are highly encouraging, the technology is still in the early experimental stage and requires further testing before human clinical use.

I don’t think people realize how absurd this is. Scottish runner Josh Kerr just broke the mile world record in 3:42.66, an average speed of 16.2 mph. Most people couldn’t even briefly reach that speed, let alone sustain it for an entire mile.
Survived COVID, survived Indian roads, survived adulterated food… and then you decide to risk your life doing some adventure activity in india ? Makes zero sense. Do whatever you want, just don’t play with your life.
I had fun with the 2026 #TheOdyssey but I will say, the BIG scene with the suitors absolutely DID NOT top the 97 version as far as dialogue went AND this reveal. Listen to the PROMO Odysseus cuts on these bastards.

Morgan Freeman is turning his entire 124-acre ranch in Mississippi into sanctuary for bees.
Alarmed by collapsing bee populations, Freeman decided to act back in 2014. He imported 26 beehives from Arkansas to his ranch in Mississippi and planted fields of clover, lavender, and magnolia – creating a pollinator paradise across the entire property.
What began as a personal hobby quickly became a full-scale conservation effort. Bees pollinate about 80% of the world’s flowering crops – including many fruits, nuts, and vegetables. One healthy colony can pollinate up to 300 million flowers in a single day. Without bees, ecosystems collapse. Food systems follow.
