I applaud the April 17 editorial cartoon supporting the benefits of fluoridation.

On April 27, UNC students from all fields of study will present their research at UNC-Chapel Hill’s 18th Annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research.
Letter: Feeding prisoners is not shameful

While Dr. Anna Bigelow offers important critiques of the Countering Violent Extremism program, I would love to hear a better strategy for addressing the problems the UNC grant is meant to address.

Bo time is a good time. However, it could be better if this well-known company would fully commit to taking all routine antibiotics out of their products.
Letter: Take steps to protect your internet privacy
In response to a piece published Thursday on Congress’s change in internet privacy regulation by Paige Colpo, I want to emphasize that this action is absolutely against the interest of the public.
