Greetings, SciLight readers. Lots of health news this week. And news about the Kennedy Center, which definitely gave me agita: Trump wants his name on the Kennedy Center! (You’re no Jack Kennedy, Mr. President). And the Kennedy Center votes to restore Trump’s name and close for 2 years, challenging a judge’s order. And how about Trump shrugging off concerns about conditions on the USS Lincoln?
But there’s also some good and fun news at the end, e.g., Stolen Cézanne, Renoir and Matisse Works Are Recovered, Police Say. So be sure to scroll down.
