    Save Our Humanity

    On this glorious evening flight captured by astronauts abroad the ISS, we see Earth in all her glory with clouds, night lights and shimmering Aurora. The music is composed and sung by Samantha Tauber, aka VNCCII, who shares her message of hope and love for Earth. Like the astronauts, we must learn to see Earth as a whole, and do the serious work to care for our home and for our future, with hope and love.

    Stem Cells and Next Generation Regenerative Medicine Therapies - Medicine Informing Novel Discoveries (MIND)

    Hear about cutting-edge advances in regenerative medicine, from lab breakthroughs to patient impact. Catriona Jamieson, MD, PhD, introduces efforts at the Sanford Stem Cell Institute to develop therapies that enhance the body’s ability to heal itself. Dan Kaufman, MD, PhD, shares progress in cancer immunotherapy using engineered natural killer cells derived from pluripotent stem cells. Karen Christman, PhD, explains how her team creates injectable hydrogels from pig heart tissue to support heart repair and regeneration after a heart attack. Tiffani Manolis highlights industry support for making cell and gene therapies more accessible. Patient advocate Justin Graves describes his life-changing experience receiving a stem cell-based therapy for epilepsy, underscoring the real-world promise of these innovations.

    Reproductive Immunology

    Ina Stelzer, Ph.D., explores how the maternal immune system adapts to support a healthy pregnancy and how disruptions can lead to complications like preterm birth. Her lab identifies early immune changes linked to spontaneous preterm birth and investigates the role of the maternal brain in regulating immune responses. Stelzer uses advanced technologies like mass cytometry and spatial proteomics to map immune and molecular changes in pregnancy, integrating these data with transcriptomics and mouse models. Her team studies how antidepressants affect immune signaling during pregnancy and examines the impact of social and behavioral factors. These insights may reveal biomarkers and therapeutic targets for improving maternal and fetal health. Series: "Motherhood Channel" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 40773]

    Panic!: Hedwig and the Angry Inch

    Over 20 years since its release, Hedwig and the Angry Inch remains as relevant as ever to the politics of the day. A child of division, Hedwig refuses to be caught between categories, instead evading gender description and embracing herself as lovingly as one can. Writer/director/actor John Cameron Mitchell joins moderator Patrice Petro, Dick Wolf Director of the Carsey-Wolf Center, to discuss a post-screening of Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

    Intermittent Fasting: A Strategy To Prevent Cardiometabolic Diseases And Promote Healthy Aging

    Michael J. Wilkinson, M.D., F.A.C.C., F.N.L.A., explores the science and clinical evidence behind intermittent fasting and its role in promoting cardiometabolic health. He explains how aligning eating patterns with the body’s natural circadian rhythms can improve weight, blood pressure, glucose regulation, and other risk factors, especially in individuals with metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes. Wilkinson highlights promising results from time-restricted eating studies conducted in collaboration with UC San Diego and the Salk Institute, where narrowing the daily eating window led to improved metabolic markers and potential benefits beyond weight loss. He also outlines practical tips for safely adopting this lifestyle approach and stresses the importance of ongoing research.

    Bach and Earth – Five Beautiful Movements

    Organist Brian Hoffman performs Bach’s Canonic Variations (BWV 769), Vom Himmel hoch da komm' ich her (“From Heaven Above to Earth I Come”), in this masterful recording. To accompany the music, we revisit stunning Earth photography drawn from 50 Earth Serenade films featuring views of the Caribbean, the Sahara, the Aurora, the Pacific, and breathtaking sunsets. Together, the music and images celebrate both heavenly inspiration and earthly beauty. Series: "Earth Serenade" [Arts and Music] [Show ID: 40989]

    A Closer Look at…Stem Cells and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

    AI and genetic medicine are converging to transform how we diagnose, treat, and prevent disease. Gene Yeo, Ph.D., unites RNA biology with artificial intelligence to speed the path from genome sequencing to personalized RNA therapeutics. Advances in sequencing have reduced costs dramatically, making interpretation and translation into treatments the real challenge. Using deep learning and large datasets of RNA-binding proteins, Yeo predicts disease vulnerabilities and identifies therapeutic targets, including in neurodegeneration and muscular diseases. Alexis Komor, Ph.D., focuses on DNA, explaining human genetic variation—particularly single-nucleotide variants—and how genome editing technologies like CRISPR can target them. She highlights strategies to correct harmful mutations and explores precise, programmable interventions. Together, their research drives discovery and enables more effective, personalized therapies.
