(1:00) - Biomedical Engineers Grow 3D Bioprinted Blood Vessel: Do you ever read about a groundbreaking new drug and then wonder why it never actually becomes available to the general public? Well, a group of Texas A&M researchers plan to address that by mimicking human biology using functional 3D printed blood vessels. (9:10) - 3D Printed Eardrum Graft: Eardrum damage is difficult to address with most treatments being intensive, expensive, and ineffective. To address this problem, researchers developed a 3D printed eardrum graft that can be implanted via a non-invasive procedure and return full functionality.

Furthermore, they were able to use the Buckingham-pi theorem - an analytical method used to measure how much material a meteor can excavate from a planet - to create a framework for assessing the impact absorption effectiveness of new nanostructured materials. (10:55) - Balloon Detection of Venus Earthquakes: Much of what we know about the inner workings of planet earth comes from our analysis of seismic activity but it's not that easy to do the same on other planets with inhospitable surface conditions like Venus. So how can we work around this problem? According to NASA JPL and some students from CalTech, balloons are the answer! The team was able to prove that weather balloons with barometers (instruments that gauge pressure differences) could detect earthquakes miles away. (16:00) - Increasing OLED Efficiency: OLED screens are becoming the standard for phones, TVs, and monitors; however, about 80% of the light produced by these screens actually ends up trapped inside the devices leading to drastic decreases in overall efficiency. Researchers from University of Michigan have found a way to liberate ~20% of the trapped light by making some modifications to the electrodes on either side of the light emitters and using an index-matching fluid to prevent light getting trapped by the outer glass layer.

Joshua M. Pearce, Ph.D., is the Richard Witte Professor of Materials Science & Engineering, Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering, and Director of the Michigan Tech Open Sustainability Technology (MOST) Lab at Michigan Technological University. He's also the Visiting Professor of Photovoltaics and Nanoengineering at the School of Electrical Engineering at Aalto University, Finland, and the author of Create, Share, and Save Money Using Open-Source Projects. His new book is a treasure trove of resources for anyone getting into 3D printing! How is this sustainable? Josh has figured out how to turn waste into high value products by using a plastic shredder for household plastic waste, and then he's built a recyclebot that turns that shredded plastic into filament for 3D printing. A 3D printer can also be paired with a portable solar panel and operated anywhere in the world, an exciting implication for places with intermittent or no electrical grid at all.
Dr. Nicole Steinmetz is well on her way in her mission to “push new frontiers in medicine and bio-nanotechnology through the design, development and testing of materials and biologics derived from plant viruses.” Plant viruses? Plant viruses. They’re non-infectious to humans. When injected into a tumor the immune system is alerted to their presence; finding no threat from the plant virus the immune cells fight the tumor instead. Dr. Steinmetz talks us through the technology she’s developed, explains how it can advance immunotherapy, and gives us a glimpse of how she and her team are applying this platform toward COVID-19 vaccine development. 1:52 – Nicole Steinmetz, PhD, Professor of NanoEngineering and Director of the Center for Nano-ImmunoEngineering at the University of California, San Diego 2:34 – What are nanoparticles? Why are they useful in medicine? 7:11 – The Ballad of the Ferrari and the Geo Storm 9:25 - How nanoparticles are useful in cancer diagnostic and therapeutic approaches 14:36 – Using plant viruses as nanotechnology (“They’re also naturally expert at the delivery of cargo” such as cancer therapeutics.) 20:40 – How her lab is using plant virus-based nanotechnologies to improve immunotherapy delivery 27:08 – How plant viruses nicely synergize with checkpoint therapies 31:04 – How nanotechnology has been applied to COVID-19 vaccine development 33:04 – The role her lab has played in developing COVID-19 vaccine candidates using plant viruses “that we could ship at room temperature around the world to people’s homes…You don’t even need to see a doctor; you can apply it like a bandage to get the vaccine.” 35:05 – On how this is a platform technology that could be used against the next strain, the next mutant, the next virus 36:28 – How support from the American Cancer Society has impacted her research 38:06 – Her message for cancer patients, survivors and their caregivers Stick around until the end for a few bonus questions on Baldeneysee, surfing, whales, and her favorite teacher growing up
Nanoengineering students peppered me with questions of all types, and I responded with my wisdom, such as it is. Identities of the questioners have been redacted. We covered the following topics. How did you know you wanted to be a scientist? Why chemistry in particular? How are you trying to generate an inclusive community in the classroom during Covid? What aspects of remote work would you keep once life returns to normal? Did you develop any “Covid hobbies”? Are you working from home or remote? You mentioned that you work while taking walks by dictating problem sets into your phone. How does that work? Why did you start the podcast? What are your most successful podcast episodes? What episodes do you have coming up? Do you have any particular goals for the podcast? Tell us about the book you want to write? What have you learned about being a professor that you didn't know before you started? Is there an opportunity cost to speaking with us now? How did you know you wanted to go into academia? Why did you enroll in the COVID vaccine trial? How do you come up with proposal ideas, especially as a student when you don't know much about the topic? How does your group come up with project ideas for graduate students? What skills should engineering students try to pick up before starting their jobs? What have you learned as a manager? How do you get good work out of a team? Is that a piano behind you? How did you become a fan of classic Star Trek?

He offers his insights here on entrepreneurship in the physical sciences, the importance of business training, how to raise $1 million in startup funding, and building a manufacturing site from scratch.
January 19. James Tour. James was already brilliant when he entered college. But he didn't know everything. He didn't know Christ, and the language of the Christians around him started out confusing, but he soon became intrigued. James is still brilliant. He is now a nanotechnologist and a Professor of Materials Science and NanoEngineering, and Professor of Computer Science. In 2008, James won the Feynman Prize in […] The post 1019 James Tour, US, Scientist first appeared on 365 Christian Men.
Interesting discussion with Darren Lipomi, a professor in the Department of NanoEngineering and Programs in Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at UC San Diego. In this episode, we discussed how To Design Smart Materials" How smart materials can be designed to achieve high mechanical performance with fast response time? What kind of nonlinearities we have to keep and remove for better performance? Should we get rid of the viscoelastic behavior in smart materials? Prof.Darren has started his podcast “Molecular Podcasting”, he is also doing informative Youtube videos handling the issues in academia ranging from the funding, handling grant rejections, soft skills, how to choose your Ph.D. supervisor which is very crucial to your academic career.

Turkey is attacking Kurds in northeastern Syria just days after US President Donald Trump announced he was pulling American soldiers out of the region. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced the start of military operations via Twitter, writing Turkey intends to prevent the creation of a terror corridor across its southern border. The Kurds in Syria were a key US ally in the fight against Daesh, and Trump's decision to withdraw troops was met with harsh criticism by leaders of both parties in Congress, who claimed the US was abandoning the Kurds. The US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ruled last year that an FBI surveillance program aimed at foreign suspects had violated American citizens' constitutional privacy rights, as the program collected personal information of both Americans and foreign suspects, such as email addresses and telephone numbers. The partially redacted ruling, which was revealed Tuesday and first reported by the Wall Street Journal, said that tens of thousands of searches the FBI conducted from 2017 to 2018 on raw intelligence databases were illegal.Montgomery, Alabama, has elected its first black mayor in the city's 200-year history. Montgomery County Probate Judge Steven Reed defeated TV station owner David Woods in the city's runoff election on Tuesday and is scheduled to be sworn into office next month.

Curtis Ewbank, a senior engineer at Boeing, filed an internal ethics complaint this year regarding the development of the company's 737 MAX jet, the New York Times reported Wednesday. He reportedly said that in an effort to cut costs, Boeing declined to add a safety system to the jet that Ewbank felt could have reduced the risks that contributed to two deadly 737 MAX crashes in 2018. The circumstances around this plane keep getting worse.While the US' private sector added more jobs in September than forecasts predicted, the pace of job growth flagged, and there are increasing indications that the labor market is tightening, according to a Wednesday report from ADP and Moody's Analytics. "Manufacturing activity is contracting across advanced economies, according to a raft of data released on Tuesday that pointed to the impact of US President Donald Trump's trade policies," the Financial Times reported. "Output this summer was lower than a year earlier across all 36 advanced economies and sentiment indicators show that it is the most geographically widespread manufacturing downturn for seven years. The global purchasing managers' index in September recorded its fifth month below the 50 mark, the level that divides expansion from contraction. That was the longest period that indicator has been so low since 2012." Are these blips of data outliers, or should we be paying attention to them as indicators of what's to come?A federal judge ruled in favor of Harvard University's race-conscious admissions process in a decision released Tuesday. Judge Allison Burroughs determined that although Harvard could benefit from implicit bias training for admissions officers, the court will not dismantle an admissions program “that passes constitutional muster, solely because it could do it better.” How are we to interpret this decision?A recent Common Dreams article titled "Warnings That Millions More Could Go Hungry as Trump Pushes $4.5 Billion in Food Benefit Cuts" is taking aim at Trump's attack on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). It states, "In its latest potentially devastating attack on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the Trump administration on Tuesday unveiled a proposal that would slash food stamps benefits by $4.5 billion over five years, a move analysts warned would increase hunger for millions of low-income families." The article further quotes Stacy Dean, vice president for food assistance policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, who says: "The Trump administration describes its SNAP proposals as a means to 'modernize' SNAP, but they all would reduce benefits or eligibility. Americans struggling to put food on the table will be worse off if the administration's regulatory agenda for SNAP moves forward."

The death toll now stands at 31 following two mass shootings in Texas and Ohio over the weekend. A gunman killed 22 people at an El Paso Walmart on Saturday, while in Dayton, nine people died, including the gunman's sister, in the city's poplar Oregon Entertainment District early Sunday morning. More than 50 people total were injured. The suspect in the El Paso shooting has been identified as 21-year-old Patrick Crusius. He's been charged with capital murder and could get the death penalty if convicted. The gunman in Dayton has been identified as 24-year-old Connor Betts and was killed by responding officers within 30 seconds of firing his first shots. US President Donald Trump spoke today on the issue but what did he really say? As we mourn for and focus on the El Paso death toll increasing to 22 and the nine people killed and 27 injured in Dayton, there were also a number of shootings in Chicago over the weekend. Gunfire across the city left seven people dead and another 52 people wounded. The weekend left Chicago police officers and city emergency rooms stretched to the limit. Mt. Sinai Hospital in Douglas Park was forced to go on bypass for several hours. Sunday night, an additional 50 officers were brought into the 10th District alone. What's going on in Chicago, and why is it continuously ignored?Pakistan has summoned Indian High Commissioner Ajai Bisaria to the Foreign Office in Islamabad after the Indian government revoked the special legal status granted to Jammu and Kashmir.

The Michigan Attorney General's Office announced today that it has dismissed all pending criminal cases connected to the Flint water crisis that were brought by the former Office of Special Counsel. It is important to note that the cases are being dropped without prejudice, and that charges could be brought against the defendants again. What does this mean going forward? The UK home secretary has signed an extradition order allowing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to be extradited to the US, where he faces charges of conspiring to hack government computers and violating espionage law. Sajid Javid announced Thursday that he had formally agreed to the request, which was received from the US Justice Department this week. “He [Assange] is rightly behind bars,” Javid told the BBC. “There is an extradition request from the US that is before the courts tomorrow, but yesterday I signed the extradition order and certified it, and that will be going in front of the courts tomorrow.” What does this mean for Assange and the process in London?Law-enforcement officials in Memphis, Tennessee, were on high alert following a clash between police and protesters Wednesday night after US Marshals fatally shot a man they were pursuing. The deceased has been identified as 20-year-old Brandon Webber, Shelby County Commissioner Tami Sawyer said on Twitter. She said he was shot 16 to 20 times in his family's front yard. Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland said that six officers were taken to the hospital, and two journalists were injured.Two petrochemical tankers in the Gulf of Oman came under suspected attack early Thursday amid soaring tensions between the United States and Iran. One of two, a tanker owned by the Japanese shipping company Kokuka Sangyo, was targeted just as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was wrapping up a high-stakes visit to Tehran to help cool hostilities in the region and potentially mediate US-Iran talks. It was hit twice over a period of three hours Thursday morning, Kokuka Sangyo President Yutaka Katada told reporters in Tokyo. How much of this should we question, and how much should we take at face value?In a recent MintPress News article, writer Whitney Webb reports, "With nearly 6 million Americans unemployed and regular bouts of layoffs in the US tech industry, major American tech companies like Google, Microsoft and Intel Corporation are nonetheless moving key operations, billions in investments, and thousands of jobs to Israel — a trend that has largely escaped media attention or concern from even 'America first' politicians. The fact that this massive transfer of investment and jobs has been so overlooked is particularly striking given that it is largely the work of a single leading neoconservative Republican donor who has given millions of dollars to President Donald Trump."

A decade of tax records from US President Donald Trump, obtained by the New York Times and running from 1985 to 1994, has Democrats asking for more. Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA), a certified public accountant, says the New York Times story only shows a snapshot of the president's finances. And while the report details more than a billion dollars in losses, Sherman says much of that could be from real estate depreciation. The California Democrat wants to get the full tax returns so he can see what the Trump businesses were reporting to the IRS. The House Judiciary Committee will consider contempt of Congress citations for Attorney General Bill Barr and the Justice Department Wednesday morning. The department has refused to honor a subpoena to give the committee the full, redacted final report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The subpoena also demands access to all underlying evidence in the report. If the Democratic-led committee decides that contempt citations are in order, the matter will be referred to the full House. [EDITOR'S NOTE: The committee voted this afternoon to hold Barr in contempt, so the resolution will now have to go to the House as a whole. Not sure if you want to change this paragraph in light of that development.] Iran says it will no longer fully comply with the nuclear deal it signed with the US and five other nations. Wednesday's announcement comes one year after President Trump pulled the US out of the agreement. Iran's Supreme National Security Council said in a statement the Islamic Republic will no longer abide by limits on keeping enriched uranium and heavy water reserves. Iran says the other nations that signed the 2015 agreement - Britain, Germany, China, Russia and France - now have 60 days to ease restrictions on its banking and oil industries. The Trump administration is currently working to block all of Iran's oil exports.One student died, and eight classmates were wounded Tuesday in a shooting at a suburban Denver, Colorado, school, law enforcement authorities said, less than a month after the region marked the 20th anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre. The student who died was a senior who was expected to graduate in just three days, officials said. He died at the school. The Denver region was on edge as the 20th anniversary of Columbine was memorialized, and deadly threats were called into other Denver-area schools. What does this say about the culture of violence in America, and why are we not addressing the culture of white mass shootings?Confederate and other historic markers would be protected from local regulators under a bill passed Tuesday by the Texas Senate. The legislation reduces the power of local governments, state agencies and public universities to remove or change monuments honoring historically significant events or people, including Johnny Reb. The bill would require a two-thirds vote of both the state House and Senate to remove, change, or relocate a monument 25 or more years old on state property or a public university campus. The measure protects statues, portraits, plaques and place names. The bill now goes to the Texas House.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) apologized this afternoon for what many saw as anti-Semitic comments discussing links between AIPAC, as well as other Zionist lobbying efforts and money, and American policy output. She quote tweeted journalist and Intercept co-founding editor Glenn Greenwald, who said: "GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy threatens punishment for @IlhanMN and @RashidaTlaib over their criticisms of Israel. It's stunning how much time US political leaders spend defending a foreign nation even if it means attacking free speech rights of Americans," and she added that McCarthy's motives were “all about the Benjamins.” When people asked what she meant, Omar tweeted, “AIPAC,” referring to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, an influential pro-Israel lobbying group that has spent millions sending lawmakers on visits to the Jewish nation over the years. What did Congresswoman Omar say or tweet, and was it anti-Semitic? A Virginia state legislator, Delegate Patrick A. Hope, who intended to begin impeachment proceedings against Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, backed off today after African-American lawmakers demanded there not be a rush to oust Mr. Fairfax, who is black, over accusations of sexual assault while the state's white governor and attorney general are refusing to resign after they admitted wearing blackface in their youth. This situation is getting more complex by the day. Mr. Hope circulated a resolution on Sunday that would have directed a House of Delegates committee to determine whether allegations of sexual assault against Mr. Fairfax by two women, Meredith Watson and Vanessa C. Tyson, “constitute conduct sufficient to provide grounds for impeachment.” He had said on Friday evening that he would introduce articles of impeachment today if Mr. Fairfax, a fellow Democrat who denies the allegations, had not resigned by then. Mr. Hope backed down after a Sunday night conference call among House Democrats turned heated, according to two Democrats directly familiar with the call who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss party matters. Mr. Hope said on Twitter on Monday that discussions with his colleagues had “led to additional conversations that need to take place before anything is filed.” Members of the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, who have been agonizing over what to do regarding all three of the state's executives for over a week now, believe the claims against Mr. Fairfax should be litigated in a legal setting, not a political venue.Forty years ago today, Iranians engaged in a bloodless revolution. They overthrew Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, the Western-backed dictator, also known as the Shah. This made me reflect upon Mohammad Mosaddegh, the 35th prime minister of Iran, who held office from 1951 until 1953, when his government was overthrown in a coup d'état orchestrated by the United States' Central Intelligence Agency and the United Kingdom's MI6. Anglo-American oil companies did not like, among other things, that Mosaddegh was nationalizing Iranian oil and raising the price per barrel so that he could raise the standard of living for the average Iranian. Sounds a lot like what the US is doing in Venezuela. Is there a comparison between the US-backed coup in Iran and the US-backed coup in Venezuela?GUESTS:Talib Karim — Attorney and executive director of STEM4US.

The Supreme Court took no action today on the Trump administration's plans to shut down a program that shields some 700,000 young undocumented immigrants from deportation. The court's inaction almost certainly means it will not hear the administration's challenge in its current term, which ends in June. The justices' next private conference to consider petitions seeking review is scheduled for February 15. Even were they to agree to hear the case then, it would not be argued until after the next term starts in October. What does this mean for DACA going forward? So, with the court's inaction today, are people celebrating, or is this just a positive step in a very long journey?Jailed Press TV anchor Marzieh Hashemi appeared in court in Washington, DC, last week before a grand jury. Her children were also called in to testify and were not allowed to speak with her. No charges have been filed. Her son Hossein Hashemi told the Associated Press that his mother would have been willing to cooperate with the FBI and did not need to be jailed as a material witness. He says no one in his family can fathom why she would be considered a material witness for federal investigators. What going on here?The Supreme Court on Tuesday revived the Trump administration's policy of barring most transgender people from serving in the military. In a brief, unsigned order, the justices temporarily allowed the ban to go into effect while cases challenging it move forward. The vote was 5 to 4, with the court's five conservative members in the majority and its four liberal members in dissent. What dose this mean for transgender Americans who want to serve in the military, and will there be a ripple effect into other sectors of American society?According to the New York Times, "When the Trump administration announced last month that it was lifting sanctions against a trio of companies controlled by an influential Russian oligarch, it cast the move as tough on Russia and on the oligarch, arguing that he had to make painful concessions to get the sanctions lifted. But a binding confidential document signed by both sides suggests that the agreement the administration negotiated with the companies controlled by the oligarch, Oleg V. Deripaska, may have been less punitive than advertised." What's going on here? What were the implications on aluminum prices as Trump's sanctions took effect?A crowd of teenagers surrounded a Native American elder and other activists and appeared to mock them after Friday's Indigenous Peoples March at the Lincoln Memorial. Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky is closing today over security concerns. Protests were originally planned for today outside of the school but were held outside the Diocese of Covington instead. Students from Covington were thrown into the national spotlight over the weekend when a video emerged of one student wearing a Make America Great Again hat facing off with Native American activist Nathan Phillips. Nick Sandmann, a junior at Covington Catholic High School, who said he is the student in the video, said he was trying to defuse a tense situation and denied insinuations that anyone in the crowd was acting out of racism or hatred. How did this story really unfold, and did the media stir up a provocative and sensational visual for a situation that proved to be more complex than originally described?

Yesterday, during his Senate confirmation hearing for the position of US attorney general, William Barr was asked by Senator Amy Klobuchar, “If you're confirmed, will the Justice Department jail reporters for doing their jobs?” Well, it is now being reported that American-born Marzieh Hashemi, also known as Melanie Franklin, most famous for anchoring news programs and presenting shows for Press TV, was detained upon her arrival at St. Louis Lambert International Airport in St. Louis, Missouri, on Sunday, according to her family and friends. She was transferred by the FBI to a detention facility in Washington, DC. US officials have so far refused to provide any reasons for her apprehension, either to her or her family. At the time of this program, the FBI has not replied to Sputnik News' request for a statement on charges and her status. What's going on here?According to reports, four Americans were among 15 people killed today in a suicide bombing in northern Syria that was claimed by the Islamic State. The attack targeted a restaurant in the northern city of Manbij, where American soldiers and others would sometimes stop to eat during their patrols of the area. What does this tell us about the realities on the ground and US policy in the region? The House of Representatives has passed a resolution rejecting white nationalism and white supremacy in the wake of Representative Steve King's remarks. On Capitol Hill yesterday, House lawmakers voted overwhelmingly, 421 to one, in favor of the resolution. King attempted to defend himself on the House floor before voting in favor of the resolution. In an interview with the New York Times, the Iowa Republican said, "White nationalist, white supremacist, western civilization - how did that language become offensive?" House Republican leadership has rebuked his comments and stripped him of his committee assignments. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has suggested King find a new line of work. How much does race inform our politics? Also, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who helped discover the DNA double helix is losing a number of honorary titles because of his views on race. The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory says it is stripping former Director, President and Chancellor James Watson of his honors after comments he made in a new PBS documentary, "American Masters: Decoding Watson." The 90-year-old had already been fired from the lab in 2007 for claiming that black people are less intelligent, comments he retracted and apologized for. In the new film, Watson says his opinions on race and intelligence haven't changed and that blacks on average are less intelligent than whites because of genetics. How much does race inform our social and biological studies?

Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, a Mississippi Republican, won the special runoff election yesterday, defeating the Democratic candidate, Mike Espy, who was trying become the state's first black senator since Reconstruction. Hyde-Smith will serve out the final two years of Thad Cochran's term and make history as the first woman elected to Congress from Mississippi. This sets the Republican majority in the Senate chamber at 53 to 47 once the new Congress is sworn in, a net pickup of two seats. Do the results in Mississippi provide any additional information about the American political landscape? If so, what? House Democrats chose their leadership today. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi carried the vote to be the Democrat nominee for House Speaker, the position she previously held from 2007 to 2011, the last time Democrats held a majority in the chamber. In the upcoming January vote, she must win the support of at least 218 House members. Earlier today, nine Democrats from the so-called Problem Solvers Caucus reached an agreement with Pelosi on rules reforms to advance bipartisan legislation. Those members will now support her bid for speaker. The phony left, represented by the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, mouth the right words but then sign on to Pelosi and the rest of the discredited gang. Are Ocasio-Cortez and some of the others engaging in realpolitik or rolling over? Her connection to Bernie Sanders is tainted by his sheep dogging for the Democrats.Opponents of the war in Yemen have picked up momentum heading into a critical Senate vote today on the Yemen amendment, which would end US support for the Saudi-led coalition. In a procedural vote, the Senate voted 55-44 against a similar measure in March, with 10 Democrats voting against it. But five Republicans voted in favor at the time. What's brought about the change in the Senate? The chamber is likely to advance the resolution after several Republicans and Democrats today expressed frustration with the Trump administration for refusing to fully brief lawmakers on Saudi Arabia's war campaign and the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Senators emerging from a closed-door briefing with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said they were furious the session did not also include CIA Director Gina Haspel, whom they want to question about the agency's high-confidence assessment that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman orchestrated Khashoggi's murder. Supporters say the measure is a vital step toward Congress reasserting its authority on matters of war after years of ceding such decisions to the president. It would also rebuke Saudi Arabia for its conduct in Yemen – which has sparked what UN officials say is the world's worst humanitarian crisis and led to thousands of civilian deaths.GUESTS:Dr. Joseph Graves — American scientist who serves as associate dean for research and a professor of biological studies at the Joint School for Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, which is jointly administered by North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and UNC Greensboro.

General Motors announced today that it plans to idle five factories in North America and cut more than 14,000 blue-collar and salaried jobs in a bid to trim costs. The action follows similar job-cutting moves by Ford Motor Company in the face of slowing sales and a shift in consumer tastes, driven in part by low gasoline prices. And it drew fire from President Donald Trump, who vowed early in his term to increase auto-making jobs and brought pressure on the industry not to shift work to Mexico and overseas. Does this indicate anything about the US economy that President Trump has been heralding as the greatest of all time? The five GM plants will halt production next year, resulting in the layoffs of 3,300 production workers in the United States and about 3,000 in Canada. The company also aims to trim its salaried staff by 8,000. Does the 8K white-collar staff layoff indicate something in addition to the blue-collar layoffs?Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith brings the baggage of Mississippi and America into tomorrow's run-off election. President Trump is hosting two rallies for her today. They want to be sure that this one goes their way. Hyde-Smith, in paying homage to a supporter, is on record as having said if he invited her to a public hanging, she would be in the "front row." She also said laws that make it "just a little more difficult" for attendees of some of the state's universities to vote are a "great idea" in a video posted Thursday. “And then they remind me that there's a lot of liberal folks in those other schools who maybe we don't want to vote. Maybe we want to make it just a little more difficult. And I think that's a great idea," Hyde-Smith said. She also has issues about her relationship with Mississippi's Confederate and Jim Crow past. What signals does this send to you based on your research and experience?In the wake of some of the most powerful hurricanes on record and historic wildfires in California, the Trump administration's strategy on climate has been to try to bury its own scientific report on global warming. The Trump White House, which has defined itself by a willingness to dismiss scientific findings and propose its own facts, on Friday issued a scientific report that directly contradicts its own climate change policies. What's going here? The 1,656-page National Climate Assessment, which is required by Congress, is the most comprehensive scientific study to date detailing the effects of global warming on the United States economy, public health, coastlines and infrastructure. It describes in precise detail how the warming planet will wreak hundreds of billions of dollars of damage in coming decades. President Trump has often questioned or mocked the basic science of human-caused climate change and is now working aggressively to encourage the burning of coal and the increase of greenhouse gas pollution. Your thoughts first of all on the science behind the discussion of climate change or global warming.Mexico is planning to deport up to 500 migrants who stormed the US southern border yesterday. In a statement, the Mexican Interior Ministry said the group was rounded up after trying to cross the border "violently" and "illegally." Dozens of people, including women and children, were seen racing toward the border fence that separates the US and Mexico, even crossing through a sewage-filled river to get there. US border officers used tear gas against the group, which then retreated back away from the fence. The ministry said Sunday's actions did anything but help the migrants' objectives and could have led to a serious incident. Meanwhile, thousands of migrants remain in Tijuana with their hopes set on seeking asylum in the US.
