• Four Coronado High students completed intensive STEM summer internship (coronadotimes.com) — Four Coronado High School students just wrapped up an intensive eight-week STEM internship that let them design their own AI-powered research projects, from climate impacts to heart disease.

• Experts: Extended USS Abraham Lincoln deployment exposed lack of Iran War endgame (timesofsandiego.com) — The San Diego–based USS Abraham Lincoln, homeported at North Island in Coronado, has endured an extended deployment that experts say reveals the Trump administration's lack of a clear endgame in the Iran war.
