📰 News we're reading

• 3 People In Hospital After Box Truck Collision In East Farmingdale: PD (patch.com) — Drivers in Farmingdale should be aware that a serious early-morning crash on Broadhollow Road in East Farmingdale sent three people to the hospital after a Nissan Frontier struck a stopped box truck at a traffic light. Police impounded the Nissan for a safety check, examined the truck on scene, and are asking anyone who witnessed the collision to contact Suffolk County detectives.
   

• Avery's diaphragm pacemaker (implantable-device.com) — Farmingdale once hosted the original Avery Laboratories, which helped pioneer radiofrequency-powered diaphragm pacemakers that let patients breathe using phrenic nerve stimulation. The story traces how this Long Island-born technology evolved into today's Avery Biomedical Devices in Commack, while also spotlighting a former engineer's delightfully geeky, electric DeLorean project.
