Abramowitz went on to say that the
"ongoing national shortages of therapies for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder also remain
a serious challenge for clinicians and patients.".
A separate ASHP report said that "the most severe and persistent shortages are driven by economic factors that undermine investment in manufacturing capacity, manufacturing quality and supply chain reliability.".

driven by extreme price competition
among generic manufacturers, ASHP, via report.
ASHP will continue to engage
with policymakers regularly as we guide
efforts to draft and pass new legislation
to address drug shortages and continue
to strongly advocate on behalf of our
members for solutions that work, ASHP CEO Paul Abramowitz, via statement.

Ahead of the April 8 eclipse that can be viewed in the

anyone looking to catch a glimpse of the event. .
The number one tip is to wear proper eclipse glasses
which are significantly darker than normal sunglasses
and specifically designed for witnessing solar events. .
Genuine eclipse glasses will have an , ISO 12312-2 filter. .
NASA suggests people check the American
Astronomical Society's list of safe options
for selecting a brand of eclipse glasses.
Fox News warns that the popularity of the upcoming
eclipse has driven third-party vendors to flood
online marketplaces with fake eclipse glasses. .
People without eclipse glasses can still
view the eclipse with a pinhole projector
which can easily be made at home.
Cut a 1- to 2-inch square out of
the center of a piece of plain
white paper or white cardboard.
Cover the square you just cut out by taping
a piece of aluminum foil over the hole. .
Next, use a pin or thumbtack to
poke a hole in the aluminum foil.
A second piece of paper or cardboard
is used as the screen on which the
image of the eclipse will be projected.
To view: place the screen on the ground and stand with your back to the sun, holding your projector with the foil pointed toward the sky.
Adjust the distance between your projector
and the screen to make the image of
the eclipse appear larger or smaller.

a $1.2 billion contract that the company has with
the Israeli government and military to provide

protesters entered and disrupted

We have so far concluded
individual investigations that
resulted in the termination of
employment for 28 employees,
and will continue to investigate
and take action as needed, Google spokesperson, via statement.
No Tech for Apartheid claims that the
workers were fired "indiscriminately.".
This excuse to avoid confronting
us and our concerns directly,
and attempt to justify its illegal,
retaliatory firings, is a lie, No Tech for Apartheid, via statement.

reportedly quit after experiencing "mental health consequences of working at a company that is using their labor to enable a genocide," No Tech for Apartheid said.
