Nếu bạn là một fan cuồng không gian hay đơn giản chỉ là muốn tìm hiểu về nó thì “Những tỷ phú tên lửa” chắc chắn là một cuốn sách không thể bỏ qua. Phân tích thông minh về lĩnh vực Không gian mới này đi sâu vào sự gia tăng nhanh chóng và sự cạnh tranh gay gắt giữa hai công ty không gian tư nhân SpaceX và Blue Origin. Đây được xem là một tác phẩm nổi bật trên NPR và PBS's SciTech Now, cũng như trong Fast Company, Forbes và Wall Street Journal.

Podcast Description “You will feel more comfortable to make decisions about Siri and Alexa and driverless cars…I wonder how AI is changing us and also feel empowered to ask questions, because right now everybody’s just…too afraid and It’s not their fault. Technology was pushed at us, that it’s the holy grail and you should worship it.” Ainissa Ramirez, Ph.D. is a materials scientist and science communicator who is passionate about getting the general public excited about science. A Brown and Stanford graduate, she has worked as a research scientist at Bell Labs and held academic positions at Yale University and MIT. Ramirez has written for Forbes, Time, Science and Scientific American, and has explained science headlines on CBS, CNN, NPR and on PBS's SciTech Now. She speaks internationally on the topics of science and technology and gave a TED talk on the importance of STEM education. Her book The Alchemy of Us (MIT Press) uncovers how tech shaped us. Additional Resources Professional Website Personal Website​ Transcription Coming Soon!

Dr. Munshi-South, associate professor of biological sciences at Fordham University joins host Hari Sreenivasan to discuss the evolutionary changes of rats and rodents in New York City. Researchers have been trapping rats and extracting their DNA to learn more about their evolutionary origins and interactions with urban environments. Dr. Munshi-South explains that rats have a wide range of genetic diversity and how rats located in one city may be biologically different than those of another city.

Our bodies have adapted over time to the conditions in which we live. Now scientists at the Pennsylvania State University Center for Quantitative Imaging are imaging and examining bones to see what they reveal, not only about our ancestors but about our lifestyles and eating habits. We’ll explore what your bones may reveal about you. SciTech Now airs weekly on public television stations nationwide (check local listings).

A lab at The Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is printing organs using human cells in a biodegradable frame allowing for nerves and blood vessels to grow into the organ and function normally. We go inside this lab that is bringing the science of regenerative medicine to a new level. SciTech Now airs weekly on public television stations nationwide (check local listings).

Polar scientist Marco Tedesco of Columbia University’s Earth Institute joins host Hari Sreenivasan to discuss how warmer winters are affecting our planet. He explains that Earth’s Polar Regions are sensitive enough that a difference of one degree can thaw ice, resulting in rises in sea levels and global implications. Tedesco also explains how we might slow the acceleration we are seeing by cooling down the planet. SciTech Now airs weekly on public television stations nationwide (check local listings).

Over the last few decades an invasive crab native to Europe has been making its way to the West Coast in the U.S. The menacing European green crab has been found in Washington’s Puget Sound. The species has earned a reputation as one of the worst global invaders, making its way to South Africa, Brazil, Australia and both coasts of North America. The three inch long species has already wreaked havoc on the ecosystem, devastating the soft shell crab industry on the East Coast. Once they become abundant, as they have in coastal Maine, they become nearly impossible to get rid of. Our environmental reporting partner EarthFix brings us to Washington where University of Washington researchers are trying to find out if there are more of these destructive invaders lurking in the Northwest inland sea.

First introduced in 12th century Europe, the guitar is now a ubiquitous musical instrument. Guitars are made from the rarest forms of wood and it has become increasingly difficult to source that wood from the tropics. Our environmental reporting partner EarthFix brings us to the damp forests of the Pacific Northwest, home to the fast-growing big leaf maple tree, which may offer a solution for sourcing wood for ethical and sustainable instruments.

In the first episode of SciTech in a Flash, we dive into the world of creepy, crawly, cockroaches. The pesky cockroaches we sometimes find in kitchens, sewers and basements make up less than one percent of all cockroach species. Researchers estimate there are as many as 20,000 roach species on the planet and less than 5,000 have been catalogued. Our partners at Science Friday bring us inside a cockroach research lab, working to identify different species, at Rutgers University in New Jersey.

This week on SciTech Now, we do a bit of traveling. We visit the NC Coast where each year you can see millions of birds during their migration. See how scientists track the NC state fish, the red drum, to learn about its habitat. We check in with the NC Science Festival about hands-on science. Finally, we get back outside with our Play Outside NC series.
