Movement and Trauma

Over the weekend, US officials disbanded a group of more than 10,000 Haitian migrants who spent a week camped under an international bridge in Texas. They were attempting to seek asylum in the United States. The Biden Administration deported a few thousand of the individuals directly back to Haiti but said the vast majority were allowed to stay in the US as they pursue their asylum claims. University of Florida immigration law expert Anastacia Greene explains why so many Haitians are fleeing to the United States. (AP Photo/Felix Marquez)

Elon Musk is known for making outlandish promises—and then eventually delivering on some pretty big stuff. So, it’s worth taking him seriously even when he quips about something weird like the human-looking Tesla Bot. It may never come to fruition, but what should we make of it, if anything? Andrew Maynard writes and thinks about the future of technology full-time as a dean in the College of Global Futures at Arizona State University.

Plant-based meat substitutes have come a long way since tofu dogs and black bean burgers. But there are people out there for whom only real meat will do. And that’s where cultivated meat comes in. There are dozens of startups around the world trying to coax meat cells to grow. San Francisco-based Eat Just recently got approval to sell its cultivated chicken nuggets in Singapore. Cellular biologist Vitor Espírito Santo is in charge of the project for Eat Just. (Segment produced by Sydney Jezik) (Photo: Eat Just, Inc.)

The largest triceratops skeleton ever found is about to be auctioned off in Paris. Auctions like this have become more common in recent years – and they’re open to anyone with millions of dollars. And then what? If some private collector buys the dinosaur for his backyard, can scientists no longer study it? Will the public not get to see it? Iacopo Briano is a natural history expert who makes a living selling dinosaur bones. He’s consulting with the auction house that will soon sell Big John the triceratops.

Do you ever just cut loose and dance? Many people do it, not because they are good dancers, but because it's joyful and therapeutic. Wayne State University neuroscience Ph.D. student Lana Grasser uses a slightly more structured version of this to help children cope with trauma and anxiety. (Segment produced by Lysney Call)

In mid-December, NASA will launch a very large, very powerful telescope into space. The design process has taken decades and cost billions of dollars. Every scientist involved in the project is on pins and needles as the launch approaches because lots of things have to go exactly right for this whole thing to pay off. Marcia Reike is one of those scientists. She’s a professor of astronomy at the University of Arizona who’s designing one of the cameras mounted on the new space telescope.
