    How does this all-female species multiply? - Susana Freitas and Darren Parker

    Explore the science of parthenogenesis, a form of reproduction which allows animals to develop an embryo without fertilization.--In 2021, workers at a Sardinian aquarium were stunned by the birth of a smooth-hound shark. What was shocking was that, for the last decade, the shark’s mother had been living only with other females. So, how was this birth possible? And can other species reproduce this way? Susana Freitas and Darren Parker explore the phenomenon of asexual reproduction known as parthenogenesis.Lesson by Susana Freitas and Darren Parker, directed by Petya Zlateva, Compote Collective.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-does-this-all-female-species-reproduce-susana-freitas-and-darren-parkerDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-does-this-all-female-species-reproduce-susana-freitas-and-darren-parker#digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.facebook.com/CompoteCollective----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!

    Ugly History: The U.S. Syphilis Experiment - Susan M. Reverby

    Dig into the unethical Tuskegee Syphilis Study, which spanned 40 years and lied to its participants about receiving treatment for syphilis.--Afflicting nearly 1 in 10 Americans, syphilis was ravaging the U.S. in the 1930s. Many doctors believed syphilis affected Black and white patients differently, and the Public Health Service launched an experiment to investigate, recruiting 600 Black men to take part. But the study was centered on a lie: the men wouldn’t actually receive treatment. Susan Reverby details the Tuskegee Syphilis Study.Lesson by Susan M.

    The Hawaiian legend of the wind keepers - Sydney Iaukea

    Get to know the Hawaiian legend of the sacred wind gourd and follow Paka’a's fight to restore his rightful place beside the king.--Long ago, the Hawaiian wind goddess wielded a gourd that housed the winds of the Islands. It came to hold her bones, along with the life force they carried, and was eventually passed to her grandson, Paka'a. Like his father before him, he became the trusted attendant to the king of Hawaii. But his privileged status also made him a target.

    What is a fecal microbial transplantation? - Kathryn M. Stephenson and David L. Suskind

    Dig into the science of fecal microbial transplantation, where doctors transfer feces into a patient to help reset their gut microbiome.--1,700 years ago, Chinese alchemist Ge Hong was renowned for his soup that could cure diarrhea-stricken patients. It had a surprising secret ingredient: feces. While it might seem unwise to consume feces, exciting new research suggests that taking poop into the body in other ways might benefit our health.
