​

Good morning, Hamilton County. The tiniest particles in the universe are drawing big scientific attention as UC hosts dozens of international physicists for a neutrino workshop that could reshape our understanding of fundamental physics. Professor Alexandre Sousa's gathering intentionally spotlights early-career researchers who'll lead future breakthroughs in this mysterious field, with projects like the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment in South Dakota looming on the horizon for 2031.

Meanwhile, dramatic developments continue on both local and international fronts. Former Cincinnati councilman P.G. Sittenfeld received an unexpected presidential pardon amid his ongoing legal battle with federal prosecutors. And amid heightened Middle East tensions, Jewish Family Services of Cincinnati has temporarily shifted to remote work "out of an abundance of caution," though officials emphasize the decision stems from "an internal matter" unrelated to global events.
