Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.

Welcome back to another week, my friends. I hope you all had a spectacular weekend. As we move into summer, it’s likely that we’ll all be spending a little more time outside. While a lot of plants around the Buckeye State can cause adverse reactions, there’s one in particular that we need to be watching out for. Poison Hemlock is spreading throughout the state and it’s deadly. Here’s what you need to know about spotting it in your own backyard and how to get rid of it safely.

💸 An Ohio Billionaire Wants to Dive to the Titanic to Prove Subs Are Safe. Sure, Why Not?
An Ohio billionaire (who’s already been to space) is headed for the depths of the ocean floor, despite the obvious dangers. It brings to mind a quote from Jurassic Park by the one and only Jeff Goldblum: “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”

🐒 Summer at the Columbus Zoo Just Got Cuter with New Animal Babies
Cute baby animal alert! It’s my favorite time of year at the Columbus Zoo. There are some really adorable additions to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium that you can visit this summer. To be honest, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything as cute as that baby Mandril. Prepare your hearts because you’re about to fall in love.
