Afternoon Alexa Flash Briefings of June 30th 2023

When is your daily news briefing from Jet News? Joy Aviation got the green light from the FAA to start testing their electric air taxis without passengers. That now brings the company a step closer to gaining approval for commercial use elsewhere. Bosch and loan will buy Novartis, dry eye drug drop for nearly $2 billion. That purchase adds another drug to the company's portfolio for medications against eye disease. Novartis said last year that they would cut costs, take an opportunistic approach when it comes to eye care and a recent study showed living closer to green spaces could add time to your life. Researchers followed participants over a 20 year period and compared age related biological changes against data using blood DNA and they found that more long term exposure to greenery added averages of 2.5 years to someone's life span. That study was published in the journal Science Advances and that's your chat news update. I'm Baker Machado. Coming to you from Cheddar studios in Lower Manhattan.
