    The key to growth? Race with the machines - Erik Brynjolfsson

No, says Erik Brynjolfsson -- it's simply the growing pains of a radically reorganized economy. A riveting case for why big innovations are ahead of us ... if we think of computers as our teammates. Be sure to watch the opposing viewpoint from Robert Gordon. Talk by Erik Brynjolfsson. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    How does alcohol lead to blackouts? - Shannon Odell

    Explore how alcohol interacts with your brain, and how it can interrupt the brain’s memory networks, leading to blackouts.--Alcohol has been shown to have strange and selective effects on the brain. Many intoxicated people can perform complex tasks like holding a detailed conversation or navigating a walk home. Yet for those experiencing a blackout, the memory of these events is quickly forgotten. So, how does alcohol cause these memory lapses?

    Can sunlight improve your heart health? - Richard Weller

    Our bodies get Vitamin D from the sun, but as dermatologist Richard Weller suggests, sunlight may confer another surprising benefit too. New research by his team shows that nitric oxide, a chemical transmitter stored in huge reserves in the skin, can be released by UV light, to great benefit for blood pressure and the cardiovascular system. What does it mean? Well, it might begin to explain why Scots get sick more than Australians ... Talk by Richard Weller. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    The asteroid that came close to erasing life on Earth - Sean P. S. Gulick

    Dig into what happened after the Chicxulub asteroid hit the Earth, and how it caused a mass extinction— including dinosaurs.--Sixty-six million years ago, near what’s now the Yucatán Peninsula, a juvenile sauropod feasted on horsetail plants on a riverbank. Earth was a tropical planet. Behemoth and tiny dinosaurs alike soared its skies and roamed its lands while reptiles and tentacled ammonites swept its seas. But, in an instant, everything would change. Sean P. S. Gulick details one of Earth's most devastating periods.Lesson by Sean P. S.
