Increasingly, CAR-T cells are being explored as a potential silver bullet for \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/car-t-cell-therapy-autoimmune-disease/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">treating autoimmune diseases\u003c/a>, like lupus—which currently have no cure.\u003c/p>\u003cp>Thus far, CAR-T cell therapy has largely used CRISPR-modified immune cells from a person to treat that person’s own diseases. But new research from China has made a huge step forward for this treatment: Researchers were successful in \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/car-t-cell-therapy-autoimmune-disease/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">using donated CAR-T cells\u003c/a> from one person to treat another person’s systemic sclerosis, an autoimmune condition that causes atypical growth of connective tissues.\u003c/p>\u003cp>If donor CAR-T cell therapy does indeed work, as posited in this paper, it could mean the therapy is more scalable than it would be otherwise.

They’re numbers that can only be divided by themselves and one.\nSo 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and so on are prime numbers. The number 12, for example, wouldn’t be prime because you can divide it by other numbers, like 2 and 3.

For example, chickens can recognize the faces of 100 other chickens and find their way home just days after birth.\nGuest host Rachel Feltman talks with Sy Montgomery, author of the new book, What the Chicken Knows: A New Appreciation of the World’s Most Familiar Bird, about her own flock and what she’s learned about chicken intelligence.\nTourist Photos From Antarctica May Help Map Penguin Colonies\nIf you’re lucky enough to visit Antarctica, you’ll probably aim to snag a classic photo—a colony of penguins, set against the chilly, barren landscape.

And that allows scientists to map the precise boundaries of penguin colonies over time, even without knowing who held the camera or where the photographer was standing.\nDr. Heather Lynch, the Institute for Advanced Computational Science Endowed Professor of Ecology & Evolution at Stony Brook University, joins guest host Rachel Feltman to discuss the technique, and the value in being able to extract scientific data from pictures stored in photo albums and museum archives.\nTranscripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.\nSubscribe to this podcast.

The land all around is charred by fire. But here, there’s a sort of miracle at work. Native milkweed has sprung up and bloomed for the second time this year. This is not something these plants, Asclepias eriocarpa, also known as Indian milkweed, are known to do.\u003c/p>\u003cp>They bloomed in late spring and early summer and had already done so this year when the Park Fire roared through. But the fire seemed to happen at just the right time to coax a second flowering, one that is likely to line up with the return migration of the monarch butterflies south to overwinter in Mexico.

The spacecraft is equipped with nine different instruments and will complete nearly 50 flybys of Europa, scanning almost the entire moon.\nSciFri producer Kathleen Davis talks with Dr. Padi Boyd, NASA astrophysicist and host of the agency’s podcast “Curious Universe,” about the launch and the excitement at NASA. Then, Ira checks in with two scientists who are working on the mission about what they’re excited to learn: Dr. Ingrid Daubar, planetary scientist at Brown University and a Europa Clipper project staff scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory; and Dr. Tracy Becker, planetary scientist at Southwest Research Institute and a deputy principal investigator for the ultraviolet spectrograph on the Europa spacecraft.\nTranscript for this segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.\nSubscribe to this podcast.

The man at the center of this procedure is \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/first-whole-eye-transplant-one-year-later/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">46-year-old Aaron James\u003c/a>, who sustained significant facial injuries from a high-voltage work accident.\u003c/p>\u003cp>At the time, it was unclear just how successful the operation would be. Previous tests in animals had resulted in shrinkage of the transplanted eye, if not outright rejection. But now, more than a year after the transplant, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/first-whole-eye-transplant-one-year-later/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">a new paper in the journal JAMA\u003c/a> outlines the success of this first-of-its-kind operation. While James cannot see out of his new eye, there is blood flow, normal pressure, and a retinal response to light.\u003c/p>\u003cp>Guest host Kathleen Davis speaks with Dr. Daniel Ceradini, director of research at NYU Langone’s Department of Plastic Surgery and first author of the JAMA study. They discuss the implications this success could have for the future of eye surgery, and the dramatic improvements in James’ quality of life.\u003c/p>\u003cp>Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/episodes/september-13-2024/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">sciencefriday.com.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://pod.link/73329284\" target=\"_blank\">\u003ci>Subscribe to this podcast.\u003c/i>\u003c/a>\u003ci> Plus, to stay updated on all things science, \u003c/i>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/newsletters/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">\u003ci>\u003cstrong>sign up for Science Friday's newsletters\u003c/strong>\u003c/i>\u003c/a>\u003ci>.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Ancient rocks can provide a time capsule of the conditions in which they formed. But even the geologic record has its limits—rocks and minerals get weathered, buried, heated, melted, and recycled over time—so geologists need to search out rare super-old geologic holdouts to tell about the earliest times.\nWriting in the journal Nature in July, researchers described what they can learn about the chemical history of Earth’s mantle, the geologic layer beneath the planet’s crust, from studying 2.5 billion-year-old rocks collected at spreading ocean ridges.

As asteroids go, it was not especially notable. Astronomers say objects the size of 2024 RW1, which was about a meter in diameter, encounter the Earth \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/an-asteroid-impact-spotted-in-advance/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">about every two weeks\u003c/a>. Due to local weather conditions, not many ground observers were able to see the fireball produced by the impact on the atmosphere. But astronomers on the Catalina Sky Survey project had observed the asteroid a few hours earlier as it approached the planet, and were able to give a prediction for where and when it was likely to enter the atmosphere. European Space Agency officials said \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/an-asteroid-impact-spotted-in-advance/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">it was only the ninth time\u003c/a> people were able to spot an asteroid in advance of Earth impact.\u003c/p>\u003cp>SciFri’s Charles Bergquist joins guest host Sophie Bushwick to talk about that astronomical event and other stories from the week in science, including work on gold nugget geophysics, a potential advance in pain medications, and the mystery of a missing pregnant shark.\u003c/p>\u003ch2>Extreme Heat Is Making Learning—And Teaching—More Difficult\u003c/h2>\u003cp>Kids across the United States just kicked off a new school year.

Also, some national and state parks are changing the way they open up campsite reservations online to make them more accessible to everyone.\u003c/p>\u003ch2>Scientists Find Strong Evidence For Liquid Water On Mars\u003c/h2>\u003cp>Scientists discovered that there could be oceans’ worth of liquid water hidden underneath Mars’ surface. More than 3 billion years ago, Mars had lakes, rivers, and maybe even oceans on its surface. It was very different from the arid red planet we know today.\u003c/p>\u003cp>But the question remains—when Mars’ atmosphere changed, where did all that water go? \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/liquid-water-on-mars/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">This discovery\u003c/a> could offer up new clues and possibly spur on the search for life on Mars.\u003c/p>\u003cp>Ira talks with Maggie Koerth, science writer and editorial lead for \u003ci>Carbon Plan\u003c/i>, about this discovery and other science news of the week, including why \u003ca href=\"https://www.statnews.com/2024/08/14/who-declares-mpox-outbreak-a-global-health-emergency/\" target=\"_blank\">the WHO declared mpox a global health emergency\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-02553-9\" target=\"_blank\">microbiome of your microwave\u003c/a>, a \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/green-dinosaur-los-angeles-california-natural-history-museum-7b9c0f6e9394345c3a391e68b02dd1a1\" target=\"_blank\">green-boned dinosaur named Gnatalie\u003c/a>, and how \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/08/07/tarantula-mating-season-kansas-colorado-new-mexico/74704595007/\" target=\"_blank\">love is in the air for brown tarantulas.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003ch2>Releasing Campsite Reservations In Waves Makes Booking Fairer\u003c/h2>\u003cp>Back in 2022, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/national-park-camping-reservations-inequities/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">Science Friday discussed\u003c/a> how campsites in state and national parks were virtually impossible to reserve, unless you had a lot of time on your hands and knew exactly when those reservations were going online. Research had shown that the people able to reserve these sites were often wealthy, educated, and white, leaving lots of other people out of the fun of camping.\u003c/p>\u003cp>But two years later, the same team that found those results says there’s good news: Many state and federal campgrounds \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/campsite-reservations-equity/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">have changed how their booking windows work\u003c/a>, and as a result, camping has become more equitable.\u003c/p>\u003cp>For example, Saddlehorn Campground near Grand Junction, Colorado, was identified as a campground with an inequitable reservation system in a 2022 study. After its publication, campground managers reached out to the study authors to see how they could do better.\u003c/p>\u003cp>“They’ve created what I would call the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/campsite-reservations-equity/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">gold standard\u003c/a> in an equitable recreation rationing spectrum for these campsites,” said Dr. Will Rice, assistant professor of outdoor recreation and wildland management at the University of Montana in Missoula.\u003c/p>\u003cp>This method is to release campsites in waves: Some become available six months in advance, some two weeks in advance, and some day-of. This allows more flexibility for people to book, and is an easy fix on the part of the campgrounds.\u003c/p>\u003cp>Rice joins Ira Flatow to talk about these advancements. Since his first appearance on Science Friday, Rice has testified before Congress about the importance of camping reservation equity, and has helped both federal and state campgrounds change their booking reservation windows.\u003c/p>\u003cp>Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/episodes/august-16-2024/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">sciencefriday.com.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://pod.link/73329284\" target=\"_blank\">\u003ci>Subscribe to this podcast.\u003c/i>\u003c/a>\u003ci> Plus, to stay updated on all things science, \u003c/i>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/newsletters/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">\u003ci>\u003cstrong>sign up for Science Friday's newsletters\u003c/strong>\u003c/i>\u003c/a>\u003ci>.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Also, at higher altitudes, the air is less dense, which makes it harder for birds in flight to generate lift. The turkey vulture has a solution. \nDeep-Sea ‘Nodules’ May Produce Oxygen, Study Finds\nAn international team of researchers recently discovered that some 13,000 feet below the ocean’s surface, oxygen may be produced through natural electrolysis. The group found that small lumps called polymetallic nodules at the bottom of the ocean appeared to act as geo batteries, producing enough electricity to break down water and make oxygen.\nThat observation challenges the idea that photosynthesis is necessary to produce enough oxygen for living organisms. The researchers hypothesize that this could be a source of oxygen for deep-sea creatures. But while it gives some answers as to how life can thrive at the bottom of the sea, it also raises a lot of new questions.\nScience Friday guest host and producer Charles Bergquist is joined by the lead electrochemist of the study, Dr. Franz Geiger, the Charles E. and Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry at Northwestern University, to answer some of these questions.\nOne Bird’s Physics Trick For Flying At High Altitudes\nIf you’ve ever taken a trip to a higher elevation, you know that the air gets thinner as you go up. If you’re not acclimated to the altitude, it can feel harder to breathe. That thinner air also makes it more difficult for birds and airplanes to fly, because it’s harder to produce the lift forces in thinner air.

Not only are batteries key for many technologies, they’ll also be necessary to meet energy demands with a power grid that is mainly supplied by renewable energy sources like wind and solar. Without batteries, power from those sources can’t be stored for use when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing.\u003c/p>\u003cp>Right now, many technologies depend on \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/sodium-solid-state-green-battery/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">lithium-ion batteries\u003c/a>. While they certainly work well and have revolutionized mobile devices and electric vehicles, there are drawbacks. First, the lithium, cobalt, and nickel they require can only be found in some countries, and there have been accusations of unethical mining practices, including child labor. The mining and production processes also emit a large amount of CO2, and the batteries themselves can explode and cause fires, although these incidents are becoming less common.\u003c/p>\u003cp>A promising, greener solution to our battery needs could be something called a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/sodium-solid-state-green-battery/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">solid-state battery\u003c/a>.

Also, the follow-up to the 1996 movie “Twister” is a whirlwind of tornado science. A weather expert decodes its lingo—and real-life tornado trends.\u003c/p>\u003ch2>A Small Meteor Blazes Over New York City\u003c/h2>\u003cp>Tuesday morning, some New York area residents heard a loud boom and saw a daytime fireball streaking overhead. According to observers, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/nyc-meteor/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">a small meteor\u003c/a> entered the Earth’s atmosphere over New York City, passed by the Statue of Liberty, and proceeded west to New Jersey, moving at some 38,000 miles per hour. Meteor experts said that the object, estimated to be around a foot in size, posed no threat, as debris from an object that small would have burned up before reaching the ground.\u003c/p>\u003cp>Science Friday’s Charles Bergquist joins guest host Rachel Feltman to talk about the overhead display, and about other science news from the week, including a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/nyc-meteor/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">newly planned mission to fly by a near-Earth asteroid\u003c/a>.

It’s about a scientist (Daisy Edgar-Jones) who goes back to her home state of Oklahoma to try and stop a massive tornado outbreak from wreaking havoc on its citizens. On the way, she meets a quirky cast of storm chasers, and butts heads with a band of unorthodox “tornado wranglers” led by a YouTube personality (Glen Powell). “Twisters” delights in name-dropping tornado jargon, and its science advisory team said they hoped to make the movie as accurate as possible.\u003c/p>\u003cp>The movie makes science thrilling, but it also shows the ways that tornadoes affect people’s lives in the real world. For example, earlier this week, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/twisters-movie-tornado-science/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">Chicago area was hit with multiple tornadoes\u003c/a> during a night of extreme weather, leaving thousands without power, and four tornadoes hit upstate New York, killing one person.

A new vaccine has increased survival rates in clinical trials, offering hope for dogs and humans.\u003c/p>\u003ch2>Yes, It’s Hot. But How Hot?\u003c/h2>\u003cp>Much of the country has been enduring a heat wave this week, with millions sweating from Maine to the Midwest. But describing exactly how hot it is—and when temperatures become hazardous—can be challenging. Beyond the basic temperature, there’s the heat index, invented in 1978, which incorporates humidity measurements and is supposed to give a better indication of how a person might feel outside. Some health researchers are calling for more attention to a different type of temperature measurement known as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/wet-bulb-globe-temperature-heat-reading/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">wet bulb globe temperature\u003c/a>. It tracks temperature, humidity, and sunlight, and improves upon the heat index standard.\u003c/p>\u003cp>Umair Irfan, senior correspondent at Vox, joins SciFri’s Kathleen Davis to talk about measuring temperatures and protecting yourself from extreme heat. Plus, they discuss \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/wet-bulb-globe-temperature-heat-reading/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">other stories from the week in science\u003c/a>, including advances in tornado prediction, a delay in a return flight from the International Space Station, and a newly-described horned dinosaur that once roamed the US.\u003c/p>\u003ch2>A Canine Cancer Vaccine Shows Promising Results\u003c/h2>\u003cp>Dogs are by far the most popular pet in the United States: 62 million households have at least one. They are humans’ best friends, after all. Sadly, cancer is the leading cause of death in domestic dogs. And when a pet gets sick, it can be devastating for the entire family.\u003c/p>\u003cp>Lucky for dogs (and their people), there may soon be a breakthrough in treating canine cancer: a vaccine that can slow and even stop the spread of tumors. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/dog-cancer-vaccine/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">Clinical trial results\u003c/a> are quite promising so far, increasing 12-month survival rates in dogs with some cancers from 35% to 60%. The research team also reports that in many dogs \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/dog-cancer-vaccine/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri\" target=\"_blank\">the vaccine shrinks tumors.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003cp>Joining guest host Kathleen Davis to talk about this novel therapy is Dr. Mark Mamula, professor of medicine at the Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut.

Urbanization is directly linked to biodiversity loss, but researchers at UCLA, including Joey Curti and Dr. Morgan Tingley, wanted to find out specifically which animals thrive and which struggle in urban environments.

If the flight is successful, NASA can then consider using the Boeing Starliner system for crewed flights to the ISS, joining the current fleet of craft from SpaceX and the Russian Soyuz program.\nThe Starliner launch has been delayed numerous times. Its most recent launch attempt, on May 6, was scrubbed when systems flagged a bad valve in a rocket booster. That booster valve was replaced, but engineers then detected a small leak in the spacecraft’s helium thruster system, which led to still further delays. They have now determined that the flight can proceed even with the leaky system, allowing the upcoming launch attempt.\nScience Friday senior producer Charles Bergquist joins guest host Arielle Duhaime-Ross to talk about the upcoming launch, and about other stories from the week in science, including the return of an active solar region responsible for recent fantastic aurora displays, research into how the brain decodes the meaning of “not,” and the announcement of two new giant pandas headed to the National Zoo.\nWhich Animals Like Cities Most? Slugs And Snails Top The List.\nIf you live in an urban environment, it might seem like the animals you see every day—birds, bugs, squirrels—have adapted perfectly fine to city life.\nBut according to a new study in PLOS ONE, that isn’t always the case. Urbanization is directly linked to biodiversity loss, but researchers at UCLA, including Joey Curti and Dr. Morgan Tingley, wanted to find out specifically which animals thrive and which struggle in urban environments. So they turned to iNaturalist, a crowd-sourcing app where users upload photos of flora and fauna they see, along with information like location and date.\nThe team combed through years of iNaturalist data in the Los Angeles metro area and developed an “urban tolerance score” for 511 animal species. This score, which incorporated data such as light and noise pollution from different sections of the city, was a factor tied to those species’ level of tolerance to the local environment.\nThey found that snails and slugs love urban environments, likely thanks to increased moisture from local landscaping. But most other animals, including native species, and especially bugs like butterflies and moths, were not as tolerant to the region.\nJoey Curti, a PhD candidate in ecology and evolutionary biology at UCLA and a co-author on that study, sits down with guest host Arielle Duhaime-Ross to discuss the results of the study and what cities can learn from this kind of research to encourage healthy biodiversity.\nTranscripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.\nSubscribe to this podcast.

Unlike cotton or linen, silk is made most commonly by insects—often the Bombyx mori, a domesticated moth that feeds on the leaves of mulberry trees. Humans have a 4,000-year history with the textile and the creatures that make it, as documented in the new book Silk: A World History.\nSince silk has an unconventional origin as a secretion rather than a plant product, it has unique biological qualities that make it strong and enduring. And because it’s a natural protein fiber, it’s biodegradable, so scientists think it could have a future as a sustainable alternative to plastics and electronic parts.\nGuest host Arielle Duhaime-Ross speaks with Dr. Aarathi Prasad, biologist and author of Silk: A World History. They discuss the ways humans have changed silk-creating creatures through domestication, future applications of the textile, and Prasad’s experience growing silkworms of her own.\nRead an excerpt from Silk: A World History at sciencefriday.com.\nTranscripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.\nSubscribe to this podcast.
