• Engineering students help spread holiday cheer to rescued sea turtle (wnem.com) — Auburn Hills residents can take pride in a festive collaboration at SEA LIFE Michigan Aquarium, where Oakland University engineering students designed 3-D holiday cookie molds to enrich Benson, the rescued green sea turtle. Working with marine biologists, they created food-safe, frozen treats shaped like gingerbread men and snowmen, filled with algae-based gel and vegetables, then lowered them into the Tropical Ocean Exhibit for Benson to enjoy. 
• I Bought A Dodge Charger EV. It's Off To A Disastrous Start (insideevs.com) — Auburn Hills gets a brief spotlight as the writer recalls touring Stellantis’ Chrysler Technology Center there during a college battery-engineering project, an experience that helped spark his enthusiasm for Dodge’s new Charger Daytona EV. Now, after signing a bargain lease on that car in California, he’s still stuck in a loaner Jeep while months of repairs, parts delays, and corporate back-and-forth keep his long-awaited EV out of reach.
