Episode What the oil industry hides from the public - Stephanie Honchell Smith Cover

Beschreibung

Uncover the oil industry’s decades-long campaign to discredit climate change science regarding the danger of fossil fuels. -- Throughout the 1980s, oil industry reps discussed the dangers of burning fossil fuels, acknowledging the risk their product posed to the future of humanity. However, instead of warning the public or pivoting towards renewable energy sources, they doubled down on oil — and launched a decades-long campaign to discredit climate change science. Stephanie Honchell Smith digs into Big Oil's tactics. Lesson by Stephanie Honchell Smith, directed by Sofia Pashaei.

Why are scientists obsessed with the Black Sea? - Helen Farr and Jon Adams

Discover the unique conditions that make the Black Sea host to dozens of shipwrecks that date back thousands of years. -- In 2017, researchers off the Bulgarian coast discovered the oldest intact shipwreck ever found. This ancient Greek vessel was not only nearly 2,500 years old, but was just one of 65 shipwrecks found at the bottom of the Black Sea in remarkable condition. So, why does the Black Sea contain so many well-preserved shipwrecks? Helen Farr and Jon Adams dive into the depths of the unique body of water. Lesson by Helen Farr and Jon Adams, directed by Yuriy Polyashko, Darvideo Animation Studio.

How had the fungi survived the journey to space? Shannon Odell shares why fungi may be the key to our future on other planets. Lesson by Shannon Odell, directed by Denys Spolitak.

Why does whacking your funny bone feel so dreadful? - Cella Wright

Explore the complex anatomy of the elbow, and find out why hitting your funny bone causes such an odd and painful sensation. -- It's something we've all experienced: the back of your elbow smacks against a hard surface and the impact sends a sensation so distinctly disquieting shooting down your arm that it takes several moments to regain composure. So, why does hitting this spot on your elbow— commonly known as the funny bone— feel so weird? Cella Wright explains one of the most complicated joints in the body.
