An APPLE a day keeps The Pharmacy in play... We’re not actually sure of the pharmaceutical link, but a new radio show on the new Apple Music streaming service is titled “The Pharmacy”. Hosted by former rapper Dr Dre, The Pharmacy focuses on “West Coast Jams” according to Apple, with the inaugural session in the dispensary dedicated to another rap producer, the late J. Dilla who died of lupus in 2006. Dr Dre said he had decided on the pharmacy-based title because “what I need right now is just a dose of Dilla”. Scientists working in Africa on sleeping sickness are feeling blue - and that’s a good thing. They have found that the tsetse fly which spreads the disease have an affinity for the colour blue. 35,000 blue “targets” have been erected near swamps and rivers in Uganda with the aim of attracting the insects - but when they land on them black netting is attached which covers them in insecticide - reducing populations by 90%.
