Just in time for National Lyme Disease Awareness Month, the Pennsylvania Department of Health launched a new online dashboard to provide Pennsylvania residents and health care providers with information about tickborne diseases.

The online dashboard not only pinpoints where ticks are prevalent but also shows the latest state data on tickborne disease activity.

If you are out in a wooded area with tall grass or a lot of leaves, you’re at the greatest risk of being exposed to ticks.

Pennsylvania is ranked ninth in the country for Lyme disease, which is the most commonly reported tickborne disease.

The health department says there are precautions you can take, such as a full body tick check.

China's $47B semiconductor fund puts chip sovereignty front and center
China has closed a third state-backed investment fund to bolster its semiconductor industry and reduce reliance on other nations, both for using and for manufacturing wafers — prioritizing what is called chip sovereignty. China's National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund, also known simply as 'the Big Fund,' had two previous vintages: Big Fund I (2014 to 2019) and Big Fund II (2019 to 2024). The latter was significantly larger than the former, but Big Fund III is larger than both at 344 billion yuan, or about $47.5 billion, public filings revealed.
