A decades-long controversy has a new twist: Drones have caused 19 million gallons of precipitation to fall in Alaska. The drones were cloud seeding, part of a long-running scientific project aiming to extract precipitation out of certain clouds in areas that need more precipitation. The latest development is notable because a private company says it was able to rapidly measure how much precipitation was caused by its efforts to modify the weather using drones.

Armed with a cream-colored $15 Target lunch box containing thousands of dollars’ worth of medication and needles, Rep. Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez, D-New York, went about her business in the nation's capital. One day she was in the green room of ABC News' Washington studio, pinching her belly to prep the injection site before jabbing herself with a needle. Another day, she was standing at her kitchen counter saying “Welcome to my cooking show. Today we’re making eggs!” as she laid out the ingredients: vials filled with medication and syringes on a paper towel. For two weeks in August, she publicly documented via social media the process of preserving her fertility by freezing her eggs. "This is a choice that I am making to feel more in control of my life," she said on Instagram of her decision. In a follow-up post's caption, she wrote: “Fertility is a loaded topic – from costs, privilege, and class to the why society casts judgment on virtually any choice or outcome a woman has in her life, no matter what that choice seems to be!" Ocasio-Cortez, 36, who became the youngest woman to be elected to Congress in 2018 at age 29, has said that she has not ruled out a run for president in 2028. Polymarket, meanwhile, currently has her as the top Democratic contender. The self-identified democratic socialist described the move to publicly share her fertility preservation journey as a “political risk." But being a childless single female seeking the highest office in the nation also carries a political risk in American politics where picture perfect family portraits of candidates are de rigueur. Women seeking political office have long grappled with double standards around the demands of motherhood, with many waiting to seek office once their children were grown. But AOC, as she’s popularly known, is changing the conversation around the reproductive choices of those seeking office – especially the highest office in the nation. A generational shift in how people perceive fertility and reproductive choices can make her decisions appear more relatable an appeal to younger voters, experts say. “For millennial women like AOC, conversations around freezing your eggs, surrogacy, postponing childbirth until your 40s, adoption, there's a whole lot of conversations that are happening in public for this generation of women,” Nadia Brown, chair of the Women's and Gender Studies Program at Georgetown University told USA TODAY. “So AOC is keeping in line with that, knowing that the base of her supporters are typically younger voters, they are college-educated voters and these are people who this comment would make sense for.” Carol Evans #IVF #eggfreezing https://lnkd.in/g-FCrd4F
