Wildfire smoke risks understudied, review paper warns – Inside UCR – UC Riverside

As wildfires increase in frequency and intensity across regions like the western United States, smoke exposure is becoming more widespread and prolonged. Yet current knowledge gaps make it harder to develop targeted interventions or guidelines. Despite this growing exposure, scientists say the underlying health risks remain poorly understood. A review paper published in Frontiers in Public Health argues that the health risks of wildfire smoke, while widely acknowledged, remain poorly understood at a biological level, and calls for a major shift in research priorities. Synthesizing existing studies on wildfire smoke, the paper by Veronica L. Penuelas and David D. Lo of the University of California, Riverside highlights that most research relies on population-level correlations rather than direct biomedical evidence of harm. “The paper is essentially a call to action,” said Lo, a distinguished professor of biomedical sciences in the School of Medicine and director of the BREATHE (Bridging Regional Ecology, Aerosolized Toxins, and Health Effects) Lab at UCR. “Very little research on wildfire smoke effects examines the medical or biological harms. Most studies are based on statistical correlations between assumed exposures and health outcomes in communities.” The review also emphasizes that wildfire smoke is not a static pollutant. As it

The Era of the ‘Feed’ is Ending: Kantar and Snapchat Reveal the Power of ‘Chat … – Agency Reporter

Snapchat, in partnership with global marketing data and analytics leader Kantar, unveiled a report on the impact of Sponsored Snaps in India. The study reveals that advertising within the Chat feed, Snapchat’s most frequently used surface, delivers a significant competitive advantage, cutting through digital noise to drive 1.7x higher Unaided Awareness and higher Top-of-Mind (TOM) Awareness than other in-feed social platforms.1 Snapchat proves the efficacy of Chat as a high-intent, high-attention advertising surface.  As attention becomes the new currency in the digital economy, this research establishes a clear distinction between “Active Intent” and “Passive Scrolling.” While traditional social feeds often result in “zombie-scrolling”, the Chat environment on Snapchat is rooted in intentional, one-to-one communication, creating a uniquely powerful environment where brands can show up in a way that feels relevant and non-intrusive. The ‘Chat’ Advantage: Key Research Findings The Kantar Context Lab survey, which analyzed brand impact across CPG, Retail, and Smartphone, highlighted how Sponsored Snaps outperform the market: Superior Brand Lift: Sponsored Snaps delivered strong brand growth across the entire funnel, particularly in the upper funnel with a +38 point lift in Top-of-Mind Awareness when combined with video.1 Active Attention: The research suggests that Snapchat India delivers high attention

Vimeo Data Breach 2026: ShinyHunters Exploit Anodot Integration to Expose 119,000 User …

Executive Summary In April 2026, Vimeo disclosed a data breach affecting approximately 119,000 users, resulting from a compromise at its third-party analytics provider, Anodot. The breach was attributed to the ShinyHunters extortion group, who accessed Vimeo’s Snowflake and BigQuery cloud environments using stolen authentication tokens. The attackers exfiltrated email addresses, video titles, and technical metadata, but did not access uploaded video content, account credentials, or payment card information. Vimeo’s platform operations were not disrupted. The company has disabled all Anodot credentials, removed the service’s integration, and is working with third-party security experts and law enforcement to investigate the incident. The breach highlights the risks associated with third-party integrations in the SaaS and video hosting sector and underscores the importance of supply chain security and rapid deactivation of compromised credentials. All information in this summary is based on verified disclosures from Vimeo and independent security reporting as of April 29, 2026 (BleepingComputer, Penta Security, SecurityWeek).

District raises $14.7 million to help sellers build community-driven marketplaces – Fortune

Eddie Koai, Patrick Mandia, and I are watching Crazy Lamp Lady on someone’s computer.  It’s a town hall of sorts. Crazy Lamp Lady is actually a big deal—her real first name is Jocelyn, but as Crazy Lamp Lady, she has more than 800,000 followers across platforms and an online marketplace attracting thousands. She’s reassuring her audience of hundreds that they shouldn’t be worried about listing items that aren’t ultra-rare (TJ Maxx last season can count, too) and generally talking shop. We’ve dropped in on her regular “state of the union” check-in for her followers on District, an AI-powered platform that helps online sellers build stores and marketplaces without technical know-how. It was founded in 2022 by former Snapchatters Koai, Mandia, and Khoi Tran. “We came in with a very ‘duh’ hypothesis, which is that people actually like to buy from people who they like and from people who they trust,” said Koai. “It’s the same reason you buy something in a store.”  District recently raised a $14.7 million seed round, led by Andreessen Horowitz and Kindred Ventures, Fortune has exclusively learned. Other investors include Greylock Partners, SV Angel, and 20VC. District also attracted an eclectic group of angels, including ex-Depop
