In local news, members of the Clean Coast Collaborative gathered in Imperial Beach on
Saturday to clean up the shore, marking the nonprofit's first beach cleanup.
Their mission is to raise awareness about ongoing sewage pollution from the Tijuana
River Valley and to empower youth to advocate for change.
Lewis Galvin, a founding member, emphasized the personal significance, stating,
It's very personal to me.
Another advocate, 15-year-old Eric Cambro's, shared health concerns, noting,
We see how this is affecting our families.
The organization launched this year aims to continue cleanups and push for legislative
action.
Now on to sports.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are gearing up for a significant boost in their pitching lineup.
Tyler Glasnow, the club's all-star right-hander, is set to return from the injured list on
Wednesday to face the San Francisco Giants.
Additionally, manager Dave Roberts announced that Clayton Kershaw will rejoin the rotation
on Thursday, marking his return from off-season shoulder surgery and starting his 17th season
with the team.
Glasnow will not have strict innings limitations, despite having thrown 109 innings this season.

In local sports, the Padres on the road beat the Guardians 2-1.

In top news, immunotherapy is revolutionizing cancer treatment.
A breakthrough occurred in April 2023 when Marcela Moss and Brian Choi, researchers at
Mass General in Boston, treated a patient with glioblastoma using genetically modified
white blood cells.
The patient's tumor, previously the size of a strawberry, almost completely disappeared
overnight.
This remarkable regression was repeated in subsequent patients.
Glioblastoma, a fatal brain cancer, had shown stubborn resistance to traditional treatments.
However, this immunotherapy approach, using engineered T-cells, demonstrated potential
for tackling even the most aggressive cancers.
This method could transform cancer treatment forever.
In business news, Wall Street is eyeing America's booming battery storage sector.
Entrepreneur, Sheldon Kimber, is installing giant batteries in Texas and California, which

And now back to the show.
Let's talk science.
A new genetic test, inspired by a mountain rescue dog named Shola, aims to eradicate
progressive retinal atrophy, or PRA, in English, shepherds.
Shola, who went blind due to PRA, led researchers to identify the genetic variant responsible
for the condition.
Catherine Stanbury from the University of Cambridge explained that PRA, which causes
blindness in over 100 dog breeds, has no treatment and is often breed-specific.
The team developed a $48 DNA test to detect the variant, potentially preventing affected
dogs from breeding.
This breakthrough could eliminate PRA in English shepherds, preserving their valuable traits.
And in entertainment news, Twisters is making waves at the box office with a global gross
of $123 million.
While it earned $27.1 million from 76 foreign territories over the weekend, its domestic
performance was stronger, raking in $80.5 million.
The film, directed by Lee Isaac Chung, stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glenn Powell, and Anthony
Ramos.
Meanwhile, Despicable Me 4 has surpassed $500 million globally, and Inside Out 2 is nearing
$1.4 for $3 billion worldwide, potentially becoming the highest-grossing animated film
in history.
Well, alrighty, folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the Italian polymath and inventor, Leonardo da Vinci.
And he said,
When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned
skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.
