Duke Graduation Fake Could Trigger Legal Trouble for Reality Star Angel Murdock

Reality TV personality Angel Victoria Murdock allegedly faked graduating from Duke’s Physician Assistant program and claimed to be licensed as a realtor in North Carolina and Georgia. Duke says there’s no record of her attending or applying to the program, and licensing databases don’t show any NC/GA real estate licenses. Impersonating a Realtor is a misdemeanor in NC (potential jail) and GA (fines), and the more serious lie could bring real legal trouble, as she has faced backlash and deactivated her social accounts.

Nose swabs could flag Alzheimer's earlier, Duke study suggests

Duke researchers are testing whether a nasal swab taken from the back of the nose, using an endoscope and a small brush, can reveal early brain changes linked to Alzheimer's—potentially offering a less invasive and cheaper alternative to lumbar punctures or amyloid PET scans. While promising, the approach is in early stages, but if validated it could speed diagnosis and hasten the use of new disease-modifying therapies, easing the burden on patients and families.
