Teen Genius Creates $20 Device to Detect Hidden Pesticides in Your Produce

Could a 14-year-old's invention revolutionize how we check our food's safety? Sirish Subash, a Georgia 9th grader, just won "America's Top Young Scientist" with PestiSCAND – an AI-powered device detecting pesticide residues on produce. Inspired by his mother's insistence on washing fruits, Sirish discovered that 70% of produce contains pesticide residues, which washing only partially removes. His $25,000 prize-winning invention boasts an 85% accuracy rate and could hit markets at just $20. What would you do with a device that reveals invisible pesticides on your groceries?

Paws & Celebration: Scarsdale's First-Ever Howl-o-ween Dog Parade

Who says Halloween is just for humans? Scarsdale's inaugural Howl-o-ween Dog Parade brought out the village's most adorable four-legged residents in their festive best.

The event also introduced Sushi, the Village's new official comfort therapy dog, though some residents noted the irony of celebrating dogs while still lacking a dedicated dog park. What do you think about bringing more dog-friendly spaces to Scarsdale?

While neighbors celebrate this temporary reprieve, the question remains: what's next for this environmentally sensitive property? What changes would you want to see in any future development proposals?
